What is the wattage rating of your soldering iron? I know on larger gauge wires, you need at least a 60W iron and use a large tip on the iron. Larger gauge wires require more instant heat. Anything under 60W will give you fits. Also, remember to use a damp coral sponge to keep your soldering tip cl...

I was going to attempt to run the car for the first time today. This being my 2nd attempt. But like the first attempt, I was stopped before I even got a chance to turn on the ESC. Both times, my amateurish soldering job did me in and my connection at the bullet came off. I just can't seem to get a g...

Welcome to a fellow VA'er! Plenty of support here. Welcome back to the hobby.

Wow! That looks great!

Thanks Joey! I looked at the car again tonight and the color scheme has grown on me....I need to concentrate more on the craftsmanship and technique. I am indeed happy to have gotten to this point. Coming from easy to ready Tamiya instructions to this was a huge step and a great learning curve. Look...

Ah shoot! Thank you for catching that.....Will fix.

Better...slightly.

Thanks Joey....This build has been so long and drawn out but I'm finally there. I finished the painting today and I have to be honest, I don't like it and feel a bit deflated because of it. I don't like the color combination nor do I like how it looks with the pattern I chose. I think I'll eventuall...

Since I would most likely stay within the realm of vintage r/c, I'm leaning towards "Flashback R/C Products". I haven't thought up any others to change my mind yet.

Looks great!

Keep your name secret before someone buys the domain from you!

That's great to hear! I have heard elsewhere that the RC10 World's Re-re can hold it's own. It all depends on driving.

I can't wait to take mine out! More updates please on your track outings.

Taped up! This is for the green color, which I guess is slightly darker than the yellow... http://i.imgur.com/JyYAHn4.jpg I went a bit beyond my original plan (in terms of simplicity) but felt comfortable with the taping. I may do some tweaks before the final. Fun so far! What do people do for the n...

Looks great! Let us know how the Castle combo works. That's their first foray into sensored, right?

Ah yes! I've seen your threads. I got it now. Yes, you have some very nice cars. I remember commenting on how nice your spread was for the picture. :D As for the track, my understanding from talking to the folks there is that during the summer, the attendance drops. Apparently, everyone heads elsewh...
