How's your driving? Sometimes slower is faster, if you know what I mean.
I find 8.5t brushless to be terrifyingly fast in a 2wd buggy, but I know many run them. I suspect that's close to the practical limit. If your esc has a throttle limit, you...
I have a couple Pro 90 tires that I boiled to remove from the wheels (BTW, don't boil Losi wheels with the clear inserts if you want to save them - the clear inserts curl up like crazy in the boiling water), but I still have a ton of glue residue on...

Fortunately was able to secure a more appropriate (and much better condition) set of tires for this project already, so at this point, this is purely for educational purposes. :mrgreen:
i've four different sets of front wheels for original classic gold pans, and one set of 30 year old bearings. they still spin like crazy but with Avid's great prices on bearings, i can afford a buck each bearing to get kitted up with some newer...
I could easily bury this in the 2.2 thread but I felt the benefits were more then just running 2.2's. As we all know, modern cars run wider arms than the older car. The arms are all equal length now. The older car ran shorter arms in front with even...

I finally got around to loading those new rear racer arms into Shapeways. They are quite pricey since they've got a lot of material in them but they should be strong.
My 30 year old gold pan with a 6-gear is mostly cleaned and reassembled for prettier shelf-sitting. The original 6-gear has always worked and never been opened. I did run a few packs with a BL Reedy 3300kv/25c lipo through it, but it still passes...
Just a quick question. Has anyone tried to cut down 2.2 tires to fit on 1.6/1.9 wheels? I am assuming there would be issues with balance, coming apart, and sidewall size, but I figured I would ask.
Last post
I want to say someone cut down some hole shots from 2.2 to jelly beans and the overall diameter dropped really bad.
The sidewall height means it would be better cutting a pair of rear truck tyres down and narrowing them, so keeping the bigger...
Hello all,
I've looked around, and the best, most comprehensive guide I've found is Y'ernat Al's Blinkinger.
With the re-release, plus the huge numbers of originals, there are probably quite a few people driving short arm Rc10's on tracks, whether...

Hmmmm... interesting. I had not really noticed the rake. I looked at it last night and it is small (looks like more in the pic) but it is there. The tie-rods look to be angled up, not level, so the front may indeed be a bit too low. I'll also bust...
I am looking for an alternative tire for my HPI Vintage 8 spoke wheels. I have Vintage Racing tires mounted but I need something with a higher profile that will give a beefier muscle car look.

the tires that come on the Tamiya dt02 buggies, like the sand viper, are hard spikes/no insert. they work well on grass and ungroomed surfaces.
Will Stealth diff lube be safe to use on the original 6-gear ball diff? Thanks.

No joke, I always thought it would be a good idea to adapt some rollerblade wheels to a speed run car. Well... good idea may be a bit strong. Fun or interesting may be a better adjective. :lol: You'd have to take off slow, but once you got rolling...
So about three or four years ago, I thought I'd update my original 1986 gold pan with brushless/lipo power, which i did, no problems. but i also had the idea that i needed a stealth to stand up to the torque of a brushless motor. thing is, i didn't...

Hi Peter,
I recently bought the same cases and they are a really shitty brownish color!

Honestly, if you can buy a re-released Worlds Car for $200 (I think it's still being sold that low in some places) you would be miles ahead of the game. Full sealed bearings, milled chassis, better shocks, better slipper, better steering, 2.2...
Hey guys. Just wanted your opinions to see what the benefits are of a Stealth trans over the old 6 gear. Thanks!

Is there any better pictures of this stealth diff? I looked at that link buddy put but I wouldn't know what I'm looking for. I noticed some gold pans are predrilled for this diff? This correct?
Has anyone done World's style milling on a powder coated chassis? A buddy of mine asked if I would mill his but we are afraid the powder coating may get messed up at the sides of the milled areas? Anyone have any experience with this?

Thanks. I'll try to talk him into doing a build thread on here ;-)

Anyone know what buggy will fit the Custom Work Adjustable arms? I would assume the B3. Just wondering if there is a set that could be modified for an RC10.

The problem with the CW arms is that the swivel point is too far inward which results in a wheelbase change with the change in toe.
Somewhere buried here (can't find it now), I read a thread that stated the early original front B2 one-piece yellow wheels had 8 fins in the back of the wheel, and later ones had only 6. Is this true for the rear wheels as well? So far, I have only...
I came across these RPM front arms and have not seen any like these before. Did RPM make arms that would be a replacement for the Andys pro race arms? They do not fit a 10T bulkhead but are the same length as the worlds arms and the pro race arms....

The RPM arms would be short on a Pro-Race front end but maybe you could use GT axles to bring the width back out.
Option #2 is B2 Carpet arms...which are longer than Andy's Pro-Race arms but should work with B4 wheels. Problem with those is the...

You can use ASC9480 or ASC9481 front wheels on NIX91 and B2 if you find those somewhere. Wheel axle ASC6220 should be used on NIX91 and B2.

I'm wanting to upgrade my gold shocks on my original Team RC10 to threaded shock bodies.
Does anybody know what part numbers would work for front and rear?
Thanks!
Last post
I think mine are defective. Holes not correctly drilled into shock body. I wonder if I can fix them by just drilling them out or does that bevel need to be perfect for an o-ring to ride in there- or maybe the o-ring doesn't need a bevel?
I picked up a B2 and T2 for the VONATS this year. The B2 was absolutely pristine (all original B2 parts, no B3 at all) and needs very little to run (wing mount and wing). The T2 had a mishmash of slipper parts (T2 and T3). So I am wondering if the...

The slippers are fine in b2 and b3/t3. The t3 is a larger setup so its slightlysmoother and finer adjustment range.
I'd suggest pulling the manuals from associated site and starting with the factory setup.
