    I used to be into R/C sailplanes back in the early 80's. Been thinking I need to pick it back up, I've attached few photos of a model I built and flew in the nationals in Vincennes Indiana, not sure on the year.

    Where in the F did you get the LT kit for the front Mike??!?! What all did you have to upgrade/replace??

    I finally replaced my slash mike jenkins edition body with a Desert Militia body since my old body was all beat up and I ended up cutting the fenders off. I took it to the skate park with my bro in laws slash as well and not even 5 mins..i broke the passenger rear upper shock mount. GARBAGE!! And my bro in law burnt his motor out. Here's mine.

    i bought the arms a couple years ago, but the company has since stopped making them... for the life of me, i can't remember the name of the company anymore...

    the only things i had to replace were the steering links and camber links...

    oh, and longer front shocks...

    after cleaning out my closet i found my old Associated T1, at least i think, its in that family of Associated trucks. This is very clean, full rpm everything anyone know how much its would be worth? only a 15 turn engine in it right now, but i think i might go brushless in it! but i need a body first haha
