Just noticed that one of my rear stub axles is NOT threaded while attempting to install the rear tire lock nut. 3 of the axles are threaded, this one is smooth. I opened an AE service request for a new axle and roll pin... will keep everyone updated on what they say. VERY annoyed as this was the fi...

Do you know anyone with a tap and die set? Adding a 1/4-20 UNC thread wouldn't be too difficult. Very annoying though, yes. Someone else here had that happen with a Tamiya or Kyosho kit not long ago. I'm surprised this happens, but apparently it does. If AE doesn't get back to you quickly, I'm sure...

Thank you....I got it done. Ordered a pair of snap ring pliers last night on Amazon and they showed up today. Took 2 seconds with the right tool. I had forgotten what a royal PITA the fastners are on the RC10....C-clips, E-clips, and roll pins! Would it have killed AE to throw in a few extras the w...

I'm a few steps into my build when I came to the transmission. One of the few tools I don't have are snap-ring pliers. I'm probably going to grab a set later, but just curious if there's a trick to installing snap-rings (c-clips) without them? Thanks in advance. Send me a PM if you bungle one/both ...

Newbie question: How do you cleanly cut sections of the outer overspray film? Just use a hobby knife and carefully peel? Or am I missing something? I'd like spray the entire interior with Tamiya Camel Yellow (PS-19), then hit the exterior with Tamiya Black (PS-5) for the cockpit area from the outsid...

I just got these micro snap ring pliers for thr RC10 Classic 40th drive gear bushing retaining ring and it made installing the ring SUPER easy. It’ll also be great for future tear downs as I went with ball bearings instead of using the bushings. Highly recommend this tool: https://www.mcmaster.com/...

“Made” some tribute motors for future builds https://tcphotos.net/images/2024/05/11/IMG_8121.jpeg anyone selling motor decals like these? I’d love to make a tribute AE 540 with a fresh motor. I just use MCI, usually order on 20% off weekends. They serve the purpose as I’m not trying to pass them of...

the highest number we have collected so far is 4930 and the lowest is 0046 Someone posted 5264 on ebay today. So maybe we are going to be 5,500 to 6,000 units. Would be nice if AE could actually provide some clarity around the number of chassis they made and, probably more importantly, what the par...

I tried 4 washers but felt i didn’t get a good purchase on the body post so went back to just 2.

AE - Are you listening? I’ll trade you 2 washers for a paper manual. Hit me up via private message if interested.

Agree that LiquidRC has Super Fast shipping - usually same day. I’m in Mass and usually have my parts in 2-3 days from the order. Now searching their website… that’s another matter :lol: I halfway signed up to comment on this post. I thought I was missing a search bar on their website or something....

Liquid RC is also showing stock: https://www.liquidrc.com/item/ASC6007 $379.99 plus $0.99 shipping and they don't collect sales tax. Very tempting. :D I previously bought a 2nd RC10CC direct from Liquid RC because of their reasonable prices, low shipping charge and no sales tax collection. It's nic...

Has anyone with AE direct order #s in the 3,000s had theirs ship? We have an order in the 3,300 range Not seeing any movement and don’t want to trouble their customer service line. Thanks!
