This looks like a really nice car especially the shock setup.
I agree that the steering rack is the big question.
The molded carbon is a bit hyped, if it is what I think it is, it is sturdy, but actually cheaper than woven plates.
Now I know where my RC10T money is actually going!
From Mr. Fan:
Many customers have asked, since we have almost all aftermarket parts made, when we would be able to provide complete kit with all FanRc parts. Here is the answer!

It won't be cheap though. only 100 will be made at 246,000 yen (1,684.43 USD at the time of posting)

Hey everyone, hope all is well.
I picked up a TLR Ten SCT a while ago and started modding it, immediately.
It's the best nitro car I've owned...must be 'vintage' by now, right?
The mods...

Can you explain what you did to modify the EZ start to the 3.4? does the ROSS system still power it or do you use an EZ start wand?
I bought this 22 5.0 Elite when it first came out several years ago. I have slowly built it up with just about all the upgrades you can make. I still have a few things to do, but it's close. I recently got this painted body. I put on the Fantom...

I have this one just about done now. Fantom electronics added, as well as some additional upgrades and the 22X4 rear end mod.
I picked up a Cougar KC recently (love it!) and was wondering if the u4209 alloy vented shock caps would fit my shocks?
Not a big fan of the stock plastic ones, my 22X4 improved greatly when I upgraded it's shock caps to the alloy vented ones....

If you have the Holeshot how has the experience been so far with this truck? Holding up well and any modifications you recommend? Will be able to finally take it out of storage to take it for a run.
Just a heads up, anyone who wants something fast and modern and cheap to bash with, or if you've seen what folks online are doing with these things, the WLToys 144001 is already a screaming deal for less than $80. But at $37 they are practically...

If it's overkill, then I know I'm going in the right direction.

Looks like the NRC is making a final run of these 1:24 scale Goldpan and Blackpan. Figured other might be interested as well.

What's everyone using for a pinion and Motor on their NRC24? I got this kit:
And the motor screws DO NOT line up. The pinion I got fit but doesn't have a grub screw - basically just a press fit.
For a long time I was looking for a good small buggy. Good means to me:

- Looks like a race car, not like a plastic toy
- Rear-motor, because mid-motor works good on carpet and...
My son turns 8 tomorrow and really wanted a crawler kit. The 1/10 kit prices are too advanced and very expensive, so I decided to disassemble this and bag it up, then box for him.

Just installed my brushless kit, I had alot of clearance issues with the esc, so made a mount to mount it above the battery. Even had room to refit the fan.
What gearing would people recommend for a 13.5T motor?

I have p/n 7498 which is the factory team centered ESC mount. It's the CF version of what you made there. Ended up not using it with my Justock esc because of the way I routed the wires. I'm running a Justock 10.5 with a 20/78. According to the B6.4...
So I ran into an RC Screwz kit for the B4.2 in metric sizes. I’m under the impression that the RC10B series didn’t make the switch to metric until the B5, and I vaguely remember using imperial drivers on my FT B4.2 (don’t remember for sure).
Going though my old pitbox I found a untouched b4 sticker set including window masks.
Is there already a scan of these in the group? Otherwise, how would I go about getting a good scan to upload?
I'm looking for some assistance with identifying this car I picked up from the thrift store for less than $10.
Are there steps I can take to get it running, and test it?

It appears to be a Tamiya Rising Storm which is based on the DF-02 platform.
Yep, Lowgear is correct, it's a Tamiya Rising Storm DF-02 buggy. Very solid, easy to get parts for, and go well enough.
I know this falls in the grey area of old school. It is a XXX-T Matt Francis 2 truck. It came out in late 2004. I actually bought and built this truck back then, and never ran it. I sold it about a year or so later, and have always regretted it.
Busting out the trusty B4 again and want to move the shorty LiPo as far forward as possible. I have a low profile servo in there and was thinking of removing the front wall of the battery box to move it right up behind the servo. Has anyone done...

I am looking at one of these to play on clay. Anyone have any advice or comments about one? I’m really far behind. I still run GT2 and T4 stuff.
Is the T6 chassis aluminum? Is it slower then the LT10 SW?

T6 is a Stadium Truck racing kit and has a aluminum chassis stock with a carbon chassis as an option. How 'fast it is depends on skill, setup and electronics used. the latest version is the T6.4 which was released a few months back.
I haven’t had to buy anything yet. Let’s see how far I can get. :mrgreen:
No plans for electronics yet. I’m just winging it. I’ll get in another hour tomorrow. Always takes me the longest to find parts in my inventory. I will have to...

After a little cleanup, I can tell this chassis used to have a rpm chassis brace and front bumper.
I bought the chassis with turnbuckles, front tower, front arms and top plate. And the wrong chassis plate! It came with a T4/B4 chassis plate and...
It would seem that way but this is also the company that couldn't shoot the regular nylon into molds and be able to sell parts they had instead discontinued. They could have made good money on parts for the last few years but chose not to. I don't...
Been at this one for a while now and finally about to wrap it up. All parts are scaled 1/2 from the 12e making it a 1/24 car. Fits slot bodies but I'm struggling to find a nice early 80s stock car for it. I made a few concessions along the way but...
So, I got a nice t4 that was run on road from what I could tell. Been sourcing some decent stuff to get it into “truck” form again. So, it came with the stock shocks. Not bad units, but I was hoping to add some newer big bores possibly. I could not...

I've got this little RC28T and feel like it could be fun around the house. It has one major flaw though. It has no radio. Associated doesn't sell a replacement either. So I'm thinking that it just needs a new chassis loaded up with the smallest...

I believe that the wheels are the same size as touring cars, so you should have plenty of options.
