I could wait for FanRC to restock or I could buy the Avid shaft now and swap it for an OEM part from one of my shelfers . This, swap out a factory steel one from a shelfer with an Avid aluminum one. I've resorted to this on a shelfer. I've bought a couple Avid aluminum shafts and they seem to be qu...

The part I enjoy though so far is watching the scalpers who try and make some money on this stuff get stuck. I know...I'm a little evil but damn... they are why you can't find a decent runner for under $100 anymore . Todd Is it that, or the dumb jackasses actually paying the stupid scalping prices ...

Behold.... and now the Blue Eagle LS-II. Already having a Blue Eagle LS and SRT, I was done with a Traxxas collection, but this was just far too good of a deal to pass up. It's simply fantastic, and at a price just over what heaping piles go for, which makes me like even more. Had that in my cart a...

I've held out this far, but the 10T classic will be the one that does it for me as well. I'm in for this one.

Supposedly a new never used Futaba T2PL (has no signs of any wear whatsoever, so I believe it), 16x2 4WD Off-road Mega motor, and Speedworks Blueprint Series 25x1 "Dirt oval stock" red label.

As I've gotten closer to actually opening bags and starting my build, I've considered not using any of the AE supplied plastic parts or transmission and instead going with the FAN RC plastic set which I feel is much closer to the original RC10 nylon color. But after starting down this rabbit hole, ...

Well after rattling around a bunch of different paint ideas, and looking at Vintage Funco race buggies I decided on a simple paint scheme for my RC10. Didn't feel like dealing with liquid mask this time around so decided to do things like I would have done way back when, using masking tap and spray...

Futaba R122JE receiver and minty Reedy 1320MG servo, which I've never seen one of these servos before. I know the digits in Reedy servos stand for the speed and torque specs, but internet search comes up with nadda for this servo.

Frankentruck hooked it up with some 3D printed Kyosho Pro-X/XRT gear covers for reproduction.

Yeah ultrahives are the nicest by far, mci just get the job done. Side by side there is no comparison. Louis doesn't have nearly as many flavors of sticker either. I did reach out about something custom, I'll let everyone know if it comes to fruition That's what I kind of like about MCI, their labe...

Duct tape the inside of the drive tires (new pair of course) and try again.

Finished a RC10 T4.1 FT, except for body as usual. This one was in pretty rough shape and rusty when I bought it. It wasn't complete and the bottom of the chassis, rear plate and motor guard were scratched to kingdom come. I sanded a lot of the scratches out and decided to paint the chassis, front t...

Last two bits for a RC10 T4.1 team build, and the last T4 in the group, #5.

Been finding a bunch of good deals on R152JE's lately, and a R603GF. Some pinions and a Speed Gems Diamond 12T double.
