No build thread on this one. Just some before and after pictures.

I really like the simplicity of the 10L. The chassis is cleaned and rebuild, next I have to install electronics.

I will probably keep the Novak T4 if it still works, with a mild brushed motor.

Thanks, it's even more impressive with the bumper mounted.



Those cars are really easy to rebuild.

This will be very cool. I never saw a white 78, I think in Europe they are all black and gold.

Sorry couldnt help it!!

Looks awesome, what made you pick the hood bird from a Trans Am??

It's your avatar that make me pick this legendary Pontiac emblem.

Thanks. All the parts have been whitened in an hydrogen peroxide bath under the sun. http://nsm08.casimages.com/img/2014/07/04/14070409464717236512365294.jpg Then all aluminium parts have been cleaned and slightly polished. http://nsm08.casimages.com/img/2014/07/04/14070409470617236512365295.jpg

Hello, I picked up a dusty Rc10L on ebuy. It came with a novak T4, Sanwa-Airtronics controller, a race pre motor, an horrible Mercedes body, the box and few miscellaneous parts. http://nsm08.casimages.com/img/2014/07/04/14070409462417236512365293.jpg http://nsm08.casimages.com/img/2014/07/04/1407040...

One of the nicest Rc10 video I ever saw. Very good job.

Great job, I like the idea of the RRP idler gear. The original Stealth idler bearings are 9.5mm OD, wasn't it possible to bore out the hole to 10mm and use 10x5x4 bearings ?

Here in France we can't have replacement top shaft, I had to hack a tamiya tool.



And of course drill a bigger hole in the case.

Here is my latest build.

Thanks, last updates 12mm alloy clamp hex from a Tamiya TRF415. :mrgreen: http://nsm08.casimages.com/img/2014/06/01/14060108511117236512283239.jpg Team Associated high down force wing. http://nsm08.casimages.com/img/2014/06/01/14060108505517236512283237.jpg I want to see how "modern tires"...

Thanks.

Next, I instaled a second ball bearing (850) in the rear arms to reduce the slop of the rear wheels.

Hornet tires are way better than the original sand padles, more agressive thread, softer...but still harder than any modern tires. I think it's harder than the Proline M2 compound. Btw there is not so many choices with the original 1.5 rims.

I'm working on a mod to fit 2.2 Holeshot M3.

Tubes and fittings are Dubro exhaust pressure nipplets and classic silicone tubing for Nitro fuel. For precision drilling by hand, I first drill a very small hole, check it perfectly centered and then enlarge it step by step. (1.5mm->2mm>2.5mm>3mm tap).
