I was told this was a hopped up TC 3 but now that I need a new out drive on the rear diff, nothing matches. The diff ring and mating out drive have double flats. The stock parts have a single flat and the diameter is a bit smaller so the fit in the...

Thanks, looks like a pain in the tail to find parts for. From reading, the out drives were a weak link. Cant seem to find much out there part wise for them. Sounds like I will part out the chassis and she will be dead in the water till a tc3 or 4...
I'm trying to fix my old rc10 nds. It was the first car I built 15 years ago.I cannot find a CV axle or even a dog bone for it.
Last post
These are hard to find. I'd gladly pay $35 for a pair. If you're open to other options, I believe an RS4 cvd dogbone, associated CVD axle, and AE B4 hub with a drilled out hinge pin will work, but be like 10mm wider. I'm going from memory on the...
Does anyone have the pdf or even scan of it?I have never seen it? Or have it saved. I have seen links but have not found it and Idk how the archive websites work.
If not anyone err know details were in it?

Thanks Lobonyc from what I'm reading I found everyone 1/8 inch bit .I'm gonna measure this week and get a reamer not a drill bit.i bought them already gonna put my nds together with these.
Has anybody ever come across an SRM Stunner 35T 1/12 motor by any chance? It was presumably Race Prep based as per the other motors in the SRM range. I only have one poor quality black and white photograph of one so far from a mid-1987 mag article....

Still looking for a Stunner (aren't we all? :lol: ) if anybody can help to complete my SRM set?
This is my first post of my cars. Picked up a RC12R5.2 on trademe which is the local site like eBay here in NZ.
Started a mold for a McLaren M8 that I’ve been thinking of making for a while and will machine up some aluminium wheels to complete the...
Last post
A little more work on the mold. Pretty happy with the proportions now to start filling in so it will vacuum form. Hopefully can do this without losing too much of the M8’s iconic lines!
Can anyone list the shock lengths of built RC10DS shocks in CM or inches? From center mounting to center mounting point. I'm looking to work on a project and I'm not 100% sure I'll go the actual DS shocks route.

Hello,
Here's my new project, a Team Associated RC10L Basic Fiberglass Kit #8001
I bought this new incomplete kit several years ago. I think I have all the parts now to build it.
The Box :
The chassis with bumper ans front body mount :...

I had a wide 10L fiberglass way back ... I think I probably had a Slot-Machine era motor... standard ROAR 91(?) fixed timing stand-up brush end-bell. I actually think I may have had a Warlock or S&K in there when I was racing on the asphalt.
:D Hi Everyone. Here is a thread on a project i started in December 2017. During the holidays I found a RC10 mid engine buggy conversion. Mind you, im not a buggy guy. It was a nice, clean and simple design with a few custom parts like the chassis....

Very nice, great body fitment. It's gonna look awesome when painted. 8)

Would you believe Im rebuilding another DS in this similar style?
I got it years ago, the only thing I did was slap a mustang body on it and ran it as is.
After a long stint away from the rc car hobby, I got the itch to relive a little of my past, and so I started looking an RC12e as it was the first race car that I had back in 1983, and was what started the rc racing bug for me. While digging around...

Wow, I agree with Mike. Nice job Chuck!! They almost look to nice to cover with a body.
So, I haven't really been interested in pan cars since getting back into RC a few years ago. When I was reading through the 1/8 build of V12's that's going on now something came up about a timeline of all their cars on AE's website. I remembered...

Thanks. I really need to finish this off, but I've got too many projects right now. :oops:
Brian, why didnt you tell me you needed a brown box? Got one, probably those connectors too, I'll look. Shoot me a list of what you need.

One of many projects that is finally finished. This was my old 12LW carpet racer from the early 90s. A long time ago, the car lost the main shock and was shelved up until recently. It took a while to finish due to the missing shock. Thanks to fellow...

I got my eBay gloves on yesterday and beat out some guys (21 bids) for a 12L3 for $65.01! from all the pics it looks like it's in fairly good condition. I hope, in this case, that pictures don't lie. I have my heart set on a Porsche 930 Lemans body...

Red wheels are Delta. White wheels are TRC, made by Delta. Black front wheels are TRC ZR-1. Nice!
Not sure what year it is, has to be late 80's/early 90's. It's beat up and the chassis is cracking, but I still have it, LOL Team CRC wheels and tires are about 10 years old. Everything else is early 90's electronics. I never really got into the...

That's a bad crack in the front...you must hit the curb straight on. :lol:
You've actually got a narrow 10L SS from around 1990-92. Replacement chassis aren't hard to find and you could even upgrade to graphite/carbon fiber. Plenty of after market...

Anyone knows of a US retailer that stocks the Ufra blue series tires in 1/10 scale? Been looking for a new set of shoes for my pan car restoration and these would really look sharp on it.
I have a decent pile of well used vehicles that I mostly pick up to use as part donors. Sometimes in these lots I find one that isn't all that bad, but will never be shelf quality, at least not without replacing a lot of the parts. So I strip them...

I don't know any specifics on the tires. As much of my gear, they came to me in a large lot of items. New, but not in a package of any kind to help id them.
Gotcha, I was just curious as I loved the TRC capped tires back in the day. Quick Google...
I got a box of cars in an auction today, and this one was tossed in. Im assuming a 10L graphite? Never got into the pan cars like this. Is this like a mid 90's chassis? Thought it might be fun for the kids to bash around on the taxi ways. Unless it...

We have this area which is like perfectly flat asphalt that might be kind of fun. I could always go out with some sugar water before hand :lol:
I've been wanting a 12L for a while. Everytime I come across one it's just thrashed so I've been collecting NIP parts and waiting until I had everything. The wait is over! :D I finally got a car that was a good candidate for resto and with all the...

Excellent job!
I remember our RC300 kit came with parts for tincan fueltank that arrived in 2 halves needing to be soldered/brazed together.
I open a new sealed kit, (DS Qualifier) and would love to show you guys pictures of a finished car. But the kit came with the wrong chassis, a black A stamped six gear. Was this poor quality control? :?

Need a little help with finding servos for my RC12e, I recently picked up 4 Futaba Fp s-28's only to find they were too big and bottomed out on the chassis. Is there a good size to look for? Maybe 27's or 7's?? The car is from 1979...
Last post
The s28's are a tall servo.Taller than a Standard modern servo size such as a futaba s148. I believe the airtronics 94102 servos will be a much better fit. That's what I have for my 12E but mine has been modified so I can't say for certain.
