Re: RC10 Graphite - Buried in a garage since the mid-90's...

I think it's "done" for now: added Proline Dirt Hawgs for bashing on JC Racing racing rims and an Associated 6187 wing kit. Not sure if I want to add more decals (maybe an Associated logo on the wing) - I like the simple look. http://www.mikekirk.org/images/radio_control/RC10/2011-09-10-rc...

Re: RC10 Graphite - Buried in a garage since the mid-90's...

The GT3B actually just came, and I mounted it up. It's so small! http://www.mikekirk.org/images/radio_control/RC10/August_20_2011_1.JPG About 1/4 the size of the old Futaba receiver, and there's only about 8" of antenna?!? Seems to work though: range is farther than I can see to drive it. Now I...

Re: RC10 Graphite - Buried in a garage since the mid-90's...

Oh, if it's tires, based on this and this I've ordered a set of Proline Dirt Hawgs from the LHS and JC Racing rims from Ebay. I saw all the posts about how to retrofit modern B2/B3/B4 parts... but just wanted something simple, since I won't be racing. But... if I break some parts... I may be forced ...

Re: RC10 Graphite - Buried in a garage since the mid-90's...

And for the electrics, I have a new receiver coming for it for a FlySky FS-GT3B (going to use it for the Clod too, so the 3rd channel can handle 4WS). I took out the old ESC and brushed motor, and stuck in the guts from my Stampede VXL: a used Velineon system: http://www.mikekirk.org/images/radio_co...

Re: RC10 Graphite - Buried in a garage since the mid-90's...

Thanks RC10resto: I think you're right about the tires. The rear sidewalls say "Team Losi Made in USA Cushion Carcass 2.00 x 1.60", and the fronts just say: "RP-927". Speaking of tires.... The new radio gear hasn't come in yet, but the old one works... so I stuck in the newer ele...

Re: RC10 Graphite - Buried in a garage since the mid-90's...

The local hobby shop had an Associated Viper body in stock, so with a couple cans of paint I made this: http://www.mikekirk.org/images/radio_control/RC10/August_14_2011_4.JPG (the previous body I think came from the Hornet, based on where the mount holes were drilled). I didn't realize the body didn...

RC10 Graphite - Buried in a garage since the mid-90's...

I recently got back into RC again, after almost 20 years of being away... but all my gear was long gone: liquidated in a garage sale when I went away to school. My first buy was a used Stampede VXL (since used to own a Traxxas Sledgehammer, and it seemed to be the modern equivalent) but I kept my ey...
