Very interesting. I have never seen that.

I have a press and I still hammer in pilot bearings. It's not a big deal.

I too have had great luck with this stuff.

While I love that, it doesn't seem to have the same wow factor as RCR's other offerings.

So much want...

That car has some great lines but I was never in love with the length of the tail portion that hangs out behind the rear wheels.

I would be more worried of one that has the right gearing. Mine red lines at 3200 RPMs. Size, weight, and RPM make them not a great fit for an SLC build...

I think I have heard of people using silly putty. It's all the same really. Grease is popular but too thin for my liking. Wax or putty seem to be better options.

The easiest way to remove a pilot bearing is to find a nice bolt that fills the ID of the bearing completely with no gap. Then fill the bearing and the space behind it with grease, wax or even this paste like stuff they used to sell at auto parts stores for this specific purpose. Once filled...

This has my vote. With that much awesome, why not show it to everyone you pass...

In what way could that car possibly be Romanian? It's an Ultima, with an American engine...

This is very much my feeling as well. I am a guy who believes the simplest solution is the most beautiful solution. You could slap twin exits on each pipe if you wanted but I wouldn't even do that. I am not super familiar with that setup but it looks like there might not be a whole lot of...

Thank you for the pointers. Cam's car is beautiful. Unfortunately I think yellow is the color I am least interested in. My last go fast toy was yellow and while I still dig the color I want to do something different. I couldn't locate EFNFAST's build but I am on a tablet with my son asleep...

I hope to order an SLC within the next year. Color is one tough call. It seems all the choices for stock color listed on the website are not represented here or elsewhere on the net. Is this because no one has ordered a kit in some of the colors yet?

So I assume due to the polishing that the chassis is not coated. What are people using finish wise to keep the aluminum from oxidizing? I would hate for all your work to be ruined by a little exposure...
