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

Topic Revised: March 2015 My original Gallery post was quite outdated and I figured could use some streamlining. I joined this forum after digging my old Kyosho Optima out of storage and decided to restore it. I removed some googly-eyes stickers that were cute at the time, but seemed childish now. ...

This one is as Reggie & Ryan both said #6171 Nissan GTP, Fr: 230mm, 9" Rear: 235mm, 9.25" , you are correct the NPT is #6128 1992 Nissan GTP, Fr: 215mm, 8.5" Rear: 235mm, 9.25". I verified it on the old Associated site in the Web Archive http://classic-web.archive.org/web/199...

Thanks to everyone for all the help, I didn't want to miss out so I took a chance and scored a nip 6171 off the bay. Looks like I got lucky and picked the right one :D They were Parma stickers #10717. I think they will work on this body and the NPT one also. I have bunches of em. You don't say, we m...

I can finally say Project CYANide is completed! This took over 8 months to finish, several months more than I expected, but I'm happy with the final product...an Optima like no other! Tonight I found the time to take the final "money shots". Thanks to all who followed this thread, helped m...

Now, on to the next project--Barney the Lizard King cometh!

Wow, nobody?? :? I figured out how to set the end-points on my own with more trial-and-error. So, in case anyone else happens across this topic and wants to know how to reduce or increase your servo travel, here's what you do (you can increase throw above 100% if you want more travel): -Go into the ...

Just because you mentioned it, heres my Lemans powered Brute.

Hey all,I have been prowling many sites over the years and have seen no "guide" to all of the differences and/or the styles of the multiple manufacturers of aftermarket aluminum wheels. Especially all of the ones specifically for rc10's. In my opinion wheels make the car! Aluminum wheels a...

i wanted to start this topic to give people ideas of what different bodies you can run on rc10 rc10t and rc10t2.(kinda like the help topics, how to run new axles on old rc10). i was looking for some old builds of rc10s with bodies for rustler ,b3, and car/truck bodies. another good idea is rc10t and...

Here's a couple of pictures of my Le Mans collection to date. I thought they should have a good home. Enjoy, Chris.

Thanks for the kind words you blokes. Unfortunately Fakiee, I don't have any of my old cars. No photos either. I own four buggies now, all bought in the last three years. I've attached another photo of my only other Le Mans motor. It's a 480T can, 480 Gold endbell (painted green) and a Parma 19x2 ar...

Thanks Lowgear and Tagger. As far as I know Tagger, the 240ST is a 22 turn single wind motor. I've owned two of them. Ones in my collection and the other used to power my Tamiya M01 Mini back in '95. Updated photo time.

I can finally call this project finished. Hard to believe it started almost 3 years ago, but I don't want to call something done until it's truly finished and the money shots taken.

Heeeeere's Barney!

Another project finally wrapped up. I got this one done lightning-quick, compared to my other builds--barely 13 months! :P I got the idea for this build when I acquired a set of these JPS rear aluminum wheels, then discovered RedScampi had a set of matching fronts. Neither of us had a full set, and ...

Although I consider my original Zebra Optima restoration finished, I've never stopped being on the lookout to add gold aluminum-nums whenever I can. I saw adam lancia offering these Optima "heavy duty joint cups" for sale in the B/S/T section and bought 2 pairs. I figured they'd be like Th...
