Thanks as always guys this is one of the best forums I have ever participated in. Very helpful and thanks for putting up with my dumb questions I promise I will only ask each dumb question once
Well visited my LHS yesterday to get some parts for the restore and it was a total bust. The guy says they dont sell much Team Associated stuff and had nothing I needed. Also he didnt offer to order it so online I go.
What sites do you guys like to use? Tower has everything but seems to have a minimum 19 dollar shipping charge. What is your experience for shipping to Canada?
I also tore the car down a bit more last night. Will try and get some pics up of the process
Thanks VAE I wish I didnt have to go the online route but as far as I can tell there arent many LHS around unless I drive to Toronto and I dont enjoy that torture
I might do some test ordering from the US or try and find some good Canadian online sites. greathobbies.com looks promising actually
VAE I was looking at your RC10T build (very sweet by the way!!!)
I wondered where you go the red screws from? Do you get them locally? or order them from somewhere. I am thinking of doing a colour theme for my build and wanted to get some different coloured items than stock
I got them off of ebay. A quick search of "RC10 red" should bring them up. I would do the same with each colour you are after and maybe there will be something that pops out for you.
Wicked thanks VAE. I did find them. However I actually decided to replace all the screws and got a pack online for 12 bucks so thats the way I am going
So I am steadily getting making progress. I have the truck essentially pulled apart and cleaned. Only thing left is the shocks. Now I am waiting on some parts. By the way my truck was a bushing kit version so I have boca bearings kit coming (not sure how long that will take but it has shipped)
What do you guys think as far as sticking with the vintage stealth or picking up an RPM? Will a slower geared brushless setup be ok on the stock stealth?
the stealth tranny will do fine with brushless motors. Myself and Rod have 8.5T brushless in out 10Ts many others run 10.5T motors. I run 10.5T brushless in my RC10s. The sandrail in my signature section has a mamba max esc with a 5700kv brushless motor, which is a little too much. I went through every melted gear in that stealth tranny and replaced them with alloy ones with the exception of the spur.
So now I took on my last part of the teardown and I am stuck. I am taking the shocks apart (still waiting for my rebuild kid)
I cant get the o-rings and spacers out of the shock. I read in the manual to use the shock tool to push then out and it does take some force to push them but I still cant get them out? Any tips? Am I doing something wrong?
Try placing the shock tool on the counter or bench and push down on the shock to give you more grip and make sure that the longest point of the tool is facing the inside wall of the shock body. Don't use a flat headed screwdriver or anything metal or you risk causing a striation on the shock body and it could create a leaky spot.
I did a couple searches and coudnt really find what I was looking for. I would like to put some bigger tires on my 10T as it will be more of a basher. I have read a lot of guys like Masher 2k's but wanted to post
What wheels and tires do you recommend for a basher setup. (FYI converting rear axles to 3/16" if that matters)
Ive had this for MONTHS, and have been chompin at the BITS to get started. Finally got the Wife to let me buy the Tires I needed, so here we go.
This is what I got.
Assembled, with tires. Will (eventually) get 31mm, Offset Wheels all around....

It definately moves better now, but is still very noisy (whining). Is that just the Nature of them, or can they quitened :roll: :lol: ? Only ran it for about half a Pack, so I'll check it out a bit more tomorrow.

So I remembered I took a load of pictures before xmas and here is my Delta Yokomo project all laid out. It comprises new parts and a selection of handmade custom vintage hop-ups. I can't wait to get stuck in.
Where to start... so back in the late 90s I had no driver license or car, but I did have a few boxes of hand me down RC stuff from the 80s and a box of RCCA from that period as well. First car was a Kyosho Raider, but I always wanted a RC10, Ended...
