I scored this Tamiya TA03R from Facebook Marketplace today for $135. 🥳🎉 It needs a little cleaning and the rear suspension needs a little refreshing, but otherwise it’s super clean! I’m in love with all of the Novak stuff (those original booklets!). There’s a Yokomo Reedy Y brushed motor in it too and it looks really good, but I won’t know specs until I yank it out to clean it. It’s unlikely I’ll use the radio, batteries, and charger, but I might try it with the old stick radio first for nostalgia’s sake. The Porsche GT1 body is in really good shape too. I told the seller that it’s going to a good home… and yes it will!!! I’ll have to decide later if I carbon-fiber-up this thing or keep it simple with only fixes and clean up. 🤔

My $2 fallback if Tamiya can’t supply enough orders for the new 50th Anniversary 934.

My original Trinity Switchblade 10 (front, circa 1997) and TRC Pro 10 (rear, circa 1988) as I raced them back in the day. They’re both in dire need of complete refresh, which I’m hoping to do in the next few months (I’ve got a slew of other cars in the queue ahead of them). The Trinity I especially miss driving.

This is my original Futaba Magnum PCM 1024 radio transmitter I used back in the day. It was an upgrade from my Airtronics XL2P. I thought this radio would single-handily turn me into an RC racing powerhouse. It did nothing of the sort, but it did reduce glitches (although never completely omitted like today’s 2.4GHz). Even though it didn’t turn me into an RC race legend, I still loved this radio and used it for many, many years until my next radio in line, the Airtronics M11x. I still love the look of this PCM 1024, as it was unique and didn’t resemble other radios before or after it. 👌

Here are some preview shots of the initial shake-down run video I’m doing of the old HPI Ironman Ivan Stewart trophy truck I bought at an RC swap meet. This is BEFORE I do any mods/fabrication! Video should drop next week! Stay tuned!

What’s everyone been working on this weekend? I put a receiver in the HPI Ivan Stewart Trophy Truck I bought at last weekend’s RC swap meet so I can do an initial shake-down run to see how this thing drives. It’ll be good to see how it feels now, compared to later when I tune it all up and add a few mods. This one will go on YouTube, so stay tuned! 🤘🤘

I knew my City Turbo photo reminded me of something.

I’m really looking forward to 2026 in the world of RC! Lots of people I know are building new cars, new workspaces, and even new tracks! Lots coming ahead from me as well, from video backlogs to top secret stuff! I also got a CNC machine this past summer, so I’m itching to start making some fabricated aluminum and carbon fiber parts! As always, stay tuned, my friends!
