I'm installing electronics in my RC10 today. I"m using a Speedworks motor, Tekin 411 P2, Futaba 112 receiver and a Magnum Junior radio. I've installed everything and the motor runs backwards.
I tried using the servo reversing on the transmitter with no luck.
The ESC/receiver/radio combo I took from another car. It worked perfectly before I transferred it to this car.
I was wondering if somehow the stealth trans was put together incorrectly. But I've compared it to another car that is a known runner and it works properly.
I've double checked the polarity of the ESC to the battery, and ESC to the motor. Positive to positive, negative to negative. The only untested part of this setup is the motor. Before I installed it, I opened up the motor to clean it, everything looks good inside. Could it be a timing issue? I think that the timing can be adjusted. The plate that the endbell screws onto turns inside the motor can and I can rotate the endbell around. However there aren't any timing marks on the can to denote 0 degrees. Is it possible for the motor to run backwards if the timing isn't adjusted properly?
Hello all,
I have a 6 gear Rc10 with full bearings that came with an old black plastic end bell silver can. I gave the motor a water-dipping break in, although I'm not sure how much it helps an old motor. When I drove the car, the motor gave very...

If it's just a piece of debris burning, how can I clean it out? I already mentioned that I water dipped the motor, and I spray and lube it after every battery. Is there a more effective way?
As soon as I touch the wires to the motor it starts spinning at full speed. The battery is plugged in, switch on, and throttle is not being pulled. Am I just switching the motor and battery wires or is something else happening?

Thanks! The manual was helpful. Took a couple tries but I got it working.
Sometimes you just don't want to update a vintage car to modern wheels but you still want to drive them. Is anyone here still running or even racing their old cars with older non 2.2 tires? What works and where can you still find them aside from the...

Well I figure it like this, if I have to pay an outrageous price either way, I'd rather have newly manufactured rubber. Although that is of course if you're not after 100% originality.
I've been lurking on this forum for a while, and wanted to finally post up. Info on this site got my stealth trans running like a Gazelle about to be ate. It was assembled backwards!

Welp. We went Frankenstein.
was always a lover of the stadium trucks. I wanted to convert my Rc10 into a RC10T since they share so many similar parts. I had just spent some money on the Jconcepts wheels, so I wasn't ready to go truck tire....
since i won a sweet team durango dex410rv3 at the vonats i'm gonna start racing it.
i always stayed away from 1/10 4wd because the cars were expensive and fragile, well a free, tough, buggy has changed my mind.

Seeing as others have added opinions I'll chip in. I respect 4WD race cars a lot. They will always be the fastest machines out there.
But having been there and done that in 1/10 and 1/8, I do not wish to own a 4WD car right now. They have a few...
I was talking with a local member about tracks in the Tampa area and mentioned SS Hobbies. I had not been over to the track in years and recalled my first meeting with Ronnie (owner) and family back in 2007. This site prompted me to check out local...
The other topic on how many cars you have in your collection made me wonder something else: What percentage of your car collection actually has fully functioning electronics & motors running? In other words, you could take them off your shelf, put...

0% right now. I did have one that ran a while back, I took the very worst of all my rc10 collection and built a runner buggy. It had a pink race prep motor- it was very fast. i had to run ridiculous camber to keep it from traction rolling end over...
