Re: we all have big toys too don't we? show off your ride!

I was preserving and sorting some photos and I came up with a very small amount of my vehicles, through the decades. I thought I would share a couple that were still in decent enough shape. Makes me wish I had taken more pictures back then, I'm realizing how many I don't even have photos of, now. ht...

Re: My TQ10 Project: Resurrection to Runner Statis

That is looking great. The TQ cars are one of the most interesting variants, I think.

Re: New member from Fort Worth, Texas

Welcome, looks like a pair of great projects. That stealth CE is a great little car, but for the old school shelf piece you are wanting, I think your imagining a first gen car. A Cadillac at the latest. I'm sure someone would be interested in the stealth CE, if you were looking to pick up a cadillac...

Re: Hello, noob here!

Welcome! Your story and motivation is eerily similar to my own. Post up a thread with pictures of that graphite in the vintage section. Then start looking at new ESC's and Lipo batteries, haha. Welcome! That was my story a couple years ago too. Before you know if you'll have a bunch of them, they mu...

Re: Cheapo motor testing

Slap in a different motor. The ESC is already calibrated so it shouldn't take anything more than a motor swap to see if that was the culprit. Agreed. I'm going to try a Leopard 2180kv 16.5T motor that I got for just under $25. I had really good luck with their 9T version of the same motor. https://...

Re: Jimbo302's Trucks

Thanks. I wanted to fiddle with the gold pans a bit and I had to come to my senses and get rid of most of them though. I kept the upgraded #7011 10T and the T4. So I still have the bashers. I just sold the last one, that was just sitting on the shelf; and a memorial to the all old RC10's that had to...

Re: Jimbo302's buggies

It looks like I am going to concentrate effort on the Stealth CE car, so I will modify the title of the thread appropriately. I rummaged through a few parts bins and and it looks like I might have enough to upgrade the transmission to B4 slipper and make sure the diff is good, as well. I also picked...

Nothing to soldering, anyone can do it.
Set up a well lit flameproof workstation and pick up a set of helping hands with your wire and iron, easy money.

Great review.

Re: cleaning up old tires

Jwscab,
I agree , undiluted simple green is awesome stuff for cleaning.


Tire glue is a pain. I've tried nail polish remover, acetone, boiling water, Xacto knife. They all help, just sometimes not as much as I needed.

Re: Planned RC10 restorations

The gold pan (and box) are the stealth championship car. Basically , the last gold pan made, if I recall. It is from '91 or '92. A lot of those came with the black plastics. Very nice car, and a reasonably modern and capable design too. I dig the 10T, here are mine: http://www.rc10talk.com/viewtopic...

Reviving a Stealth CE and other RC10's

I impulse bought a couple more gold pan's to add to the fleet to accompany my original Cadillac and figured I would post them up. I'm certain i will have a few questions while fixing them. My first car will likely stay as is. Several guys on this site helped me get this one back in decent shape and ...
