It was great running with everyone at the VONATS! Hopefully next year I'll spend less time fixing cars and more time being social. My spur gear held up until the 3rd minute of the D-Main. :-) I reviewed the video of my races. I need more confidence on jumps. Ironically the spur gear broke bumping in...

I borrowed one of those Robinson Racing spur gears. It worked fine. My Kimbrough gear was slipping. I could not figure out why.

I am seriously worried about the track at RCE. I think it is a brutal obstacle course. It's brutal with my RC10 B6.1. But at least the B6.1 is a lot less likely to break. Last year's triple sucked the fun out of the VONATS for me. Standing on the sidelines with a broken car was not fun. I hope to ge...

I always slide around too much with slicks. even with the glue/sealer at RCE. {Go ahead say it: "That's diver inexperience" and not the fault of the tire or track.} I feel that I need at least a little bit of tread like JConcepts Octagons. last year (without the glue/sealer I ran them in t...

It has been a while... I haven't run the "new" car since it dropped out of the 2019 Vintage Off Road Nationals. Afterwards I took out the electronics and put them in my B6.1. Therefore I haven't been able to tell if my re-assembled diff are going to hold up. My original 6 gear has been out...

Thanks all! I appreciate the input.

Come to think of it. The dog bone got out of whack once. That may have gotten one side spinning a lot more than the other.
I agree, too many little variables.

It was / is a brand new transmission.
I assembled it by purchasing all-new parts à la carte.

The diff thrust bolt got loose on my RC10 WC Stealth transmission at the VONATS. Also the bolt was getting stripped. Yes... it was on the correct side. :-) I was using dogbones and not CVAs. I didn't put the plastic "cap" over the bolt after adjusting it. As someone suggested, I think the ...

Good practice Friday. Unfortunately I can't race anything Saturday. See you again Sunday!

I agree! Marshals will need to be careful too.
I find the first tabletop more difficult because (for me) it is tough to align the car so quickly after the turn.

I got a new airbrush and compressor and experimented with lightning and stars.
Good thing about lighting is that the lines are not supposed to be straight.

Don't let the "forgiving" tabletops fool you.
This RC10WC got some substantial air with the steep launch angle of the jump.

"New" RC10 WC Build
I wanted a 2nd RC10 for my son to race alongside me and my 30 year old original A-stamp RC10 at the 2019 Vintage Off-Road Nationals.
