new to forum. rc resurrection

Post by Hollowseve103103 »

I'm new to the forum. I have recently recieved my 1/4 rc truck when my dad passed. it's atleast 20 yrs old and will be rebuilding it. I don't know who built it. But when I got it the gear housing was smashed. Not being able to find another. I had a friend cast one out of aluminum. Will post pics soon

When you hit reply, look at the bottom of the screen where you would type your reply. There will be a place for you to browse for the pic file. It does need to be under 2 megs.

yea, that's a QRS. Those black gearboxes were the first ones he made off those molds. They are very rare and wicked fragile!

Well just checking in, haven't done a whole lot . Uncle is still working on machining out the cast aluminum diff. For me hopefully be done soon. I did put second cost of paint on the frame and will be sanding and repainting the body in the next week or so, and also start to polish all of the aluminum pieces. Thanks to everyone and thier advice and comments on this build you guys are great. Post more pics as I go.
