My daughters have been helping me paint the scale parts and details
Oldest did a set of 4 paddles, painted everything, they were all black. She picked yellow for the rotation. I think it’s awesome

It’s therapeutic working on these things and the parts are cheap compared to my Talon.

We took them out today. Burned up the planatary gears in the front diff on the Lasernut. This car is super fun to drive but the 4S and big tires seem to overwhelm the 1/10 scale parts

If you RC and don’t have a small electric screwdriver, then you need one. $100 on Amazon with 2 batteries and a charger. Has a clutch so you don’t strip screws. DeWalt, Milwaukee, Bosch, all within 10 bucks of each other in 12v. My 18v stuff is to heavy duty for the small screws

Welp I did it, Axial 2.2 Ripsaw R35 compound tires and Axial 2.2 VWS Beadlock wheels, going to need axel extenders. Another adventure begins, I know nothing about them.View attachment 250349View attachment 250350View attachment 250351

That's good to know. Does yours have a white dot on the side wall, if so is it on the inside or outside?

My JConcepts had a green dot which is the traction indicator of a specific brand. I installed my beadlocks with the dot on the inside.

Cross posting today’s race report (hahaha)....

So race update...
Stock Losi Mini B (buggy) class
Mr Sixteen and I were in the same round 1 heat. He finished the heat third and I was fifth (aka last). That put him 9th overall and me 13th out of 16 entries in the class.

Round 2 I finished last in my heat race. Mr Sixteen won his heat race. He was 12th overall and I was dead last at 16th overall.

Round 3 (Main C - winner advances to Main B everyone else is done) They announced I was leading with one minute to go. I essentially immediately crashed in the next corner. Lol. Mr. Sixteen finished last and we both think I finished second. We never got to see the official score sheet from this race though.

It was fun even if it was only oval, left turn, left turn, left turn, left turn...racing. Looking forward to our next race day together.

Our pit...
