Team RWB.



Couldn’t resist posting these excellent diecasts of the RWB team.  The matte black and white are sharp looking. The black one is made by Inno64 and the white is by Model Model (a new manufacturer to me). I think the Inno64 wins due to more scale details. But, both are great additions to the collection.

New Aquisitions.


The last five 911’s that completed the display case arrived. Boy are they nice looking!

911 Collection Update.


One side of the display case is finally finished! Took a bit of time but well worth it. Find myself reorganizing by type or color every now and then. Should I expand the collection of 911’s to the left case as well?

Rip Tide Pivot Cups.


All three of my Carver boards made a squeaking noise when turning. Especially, during cooler weather. A solution involves replacing the pivot cups with self lubricating pivot cups by Rip Tide. Replaced both of the larger boards pivot cups today and it was a PITA to remove the old cups. Required prying it with a flathead screw driver then yanking it out with a needle nose pliers. Difficult and unfortunately, ruins the old pivot cups.  New pivot cups seem to be working well, but I can still hear some creaking potentially coming from the washers and bushings during turns and pumps. Ordered some 100% silicone grease to apply to bushing to see if that helps!

Super Snapper Carver CX.


This little 28 incher is for the kids! Test rode it and found it to be snappy and very easy to pump. Quick acceleration.  Carvers are such good quality.

Black Fin Carver C7.



Picked up this “blem” board for a sweet discount. Only a little nose paint damage, but this is a brand new board with full warranty. Outfitted with the C7 trucks which have a very flowy feel. More aggressive turn angle than the CX without any wheel bite. Easy to pump but feels a little heavier than the Resin CX board. Both are excellent rides!

Razor Crazy Cart.

Son wanted a Crazy Cart and saved up some his $$ to get it! Grandparents helped subsidize as well.  Initial thoughts, this thing is huge and where am I gonna store it in the garage? He loves it and is getting more comfortable controlling it and drifting. No brakes! So that’s a little tricky, but doable with some planning. Enjoy little bro!

Mods so far:

  • Reflective tape on front and back 
  • Blinking led on safety flag 
  • 1/2 inch thick neoprene on seat backing for comfort
6/2026: Replaced caster wheels to hopefully make it quieter and smoother. Supposedly a success per my kiddo! Easy 10 minute job. Amazon purchased for $25.

Kamier Brand.

AO Rexy 911 GT3.

Smile!



Some Added Engine Detail With Left Over Pieces!
Door Handle Mod.

New Lego 911 GT3 set turned out to be a fun build with attractive results! Typically, I’m not a fan of Technic builds due to difficulty of attaching all the tiny pieces. Finger pain! 😝 However, I pushed through and glad I did. Good looking model and neat gimmicks. Hood opens, doors open, functional steering, functional shocks, six pistons on boxer engine layout work, rear differential, and built in jack points to name a few. Lots of stickers which added to the build time, but really was needed to do Rexy justice. Apparently the pink version, Roxy, is in the Lego pipeline!
