RC10Talk - The Net's Largest Vintage R/C Community

Jc racing makes wheels that fit this car and are 2.2" so you can run modern tires. We had a vintage race recently on a fairly aggressive track and a guy ran his new rerelease and broke an arm. Not sure if it was a super hard hit or if the plastic isn't the greatest so use caution on these guys.

OK, pulled and trimmed a few photos from facebook, compliments of Freddie (Technica) and Dirk (Old School).

The event went well overall for attendance and the entries. The track surface is sealed and the course was very tricky. When you pushed too hard you ended up with some pretty good crashes and I know a lot of guys were frustrated. The local fast guys were fun to watch and knew how to drive that layou...

Was the connecting rod a better fit on the crank pin on the new part? If not that is a major failure waiting to happen.

That is a really trick mod. Support for those gears will absolutely prolong their life.

Happy Easter all!!!

Happy Birthday Thumber!!!!!

Very cool and great job on the resto!!!! Love to see good pictures of these 'oddball' cars, ones I've never seen in person.

Hahhah I mean well..... I took em out.

But the scars are still there.

I've got 5 stitches in my left index finger from a brand new exacto blade more that 35 yrs ago.

Looks great! Takes me back to when I built mine. Pretty sure I built it up all white, then stripped it and dyed it all black. To match the ad.

The top shaft is a double d isn't it? I think you can run a b4 style slipper with the appropriate spacers.

Whatever you can get in there to scrape and clean will be helpful. Possibly vinegar applied sparingly. Soak down with contact cleaner and apply some contact antioxidaton grease before assembly.

Check McMaster carr for lapping compounds. The clover stuff is reasonably priced. The choices they offer gives you an idea of the surface finish you might be looking for.

Fantastic! I get an inch once in a while to do this too, to make the same pair.

What did you end up doing with the shock caps? they look great!
