You just haven't asked the right people...

Yes, Frankentruck has one of the newer versions. Over the years running changes were rod ends, spring cups, caps, color variations. Frankentruck has the round cap. Good shocks but were very limited on springs early on. Tbh, the might not have come with gold shafts in the early days but not sure on t...

Slotcar Rod. Do you have any info on the person that powder coated your chassis? I'm looking to do a RC10T Cliff Lett build shortly and will need the chassis powder coated. not sure if Rod will be around for a bit but it was done by one of the members that is no longer here. He decided to sell a bu...

The front tires are original 10T #7870's and they have a heavy spot. I've spun them on the wheel 180 degrees and results are the same so it's the tire. Was it common bitd to balance them? Not sure how common it was but a friend of mine balanced a set of tires of mine and it was night and day differ...

I have to think there are more "plays" in this one than the last. Would be interesting to know the specs.

Doesn't matter really, if you want in, you gotta get in!!!

got about 2 hours (Scr8p's time) left to get donations in!

Do clutch springs get weak/sprung? My only frame of reference is distributor advance springs/weights and chainsaw clutches. Not sure how any of that relates to anything.....was just thinking if the clutch springs were "underrated". Do these things even have clutch springs??? -electric guy...

Now I need some help. It moves kinda fast at idle. I feel like it might be idling too fast causing the clutch to grab and move the truck? How do I slow down the idle? sounds like you need to shorten up to the 1mm gap mentioned above by RJ with the idle screw. You have a picture of inside the carb a...

Yeah, wasn't paying attention to part numbers. When you stated steel my mind went to the hardened aluminum idler like you posted last. Thats the only way I've ever built them that they lasted anyway. Wasn't thinkin steel.

Good luck holding the line on them.

My glove size seems to vary based on who makes the gloves. I ordered a set of the finger tip covers. They will be interesting to try. Insert the cat walking in shoes video here :lol: . Work just upped the cut resistance on our gloves so a bunch of gloves will be following people home. Gonna wait ti...

depends on what you are going for I guess. Keeping it old school with that dynamite in it is nice but if you are wanting something newer it seems nitro has been pretty much dried up for motors. There's plenty of runner rc10s out there with the 2.5 traxxas motor but pretty much they are just parts br...

as far as knowing where to get the parts I can't help but to say ebay. Last place I found them...but its been awhile since I've looked for nitro parts. The one ways are really finicky but easily clean out to work again unless you are in complete wore out state. On old ones I used to let the sit in s...

with that hardened idler gear you'll want to do yourself a favor and get the delrin top shaft gear if you're gonna run it. The 2 together will outlast that truck. Not so much metal on metal.
