same here but the 9911 wasn't on the list. ...so we'll just keep waiting.

A scrupulous patent attorney, while preparing a patent application, will research their client’s invention to determine if it currently is or has previously been commercially available to consumers; is it truly unique. Once the USPTO receives the application and begins their review process, I don’t ...

Done and done.

Oh come on! Now you're just showing off.
Just kidding, I'm totally jealous. Nice work - AGAIN. haha

I donno Brad, they may be about 1/4" too long. 9677 are B4 and I just check my B4's bones against the RC10's and they are 2.5 vs 2.25 pin to pin. Perhaps one can swap hub carriers to something that will set the axles wider and compensate for the added length.

The gentlemen’s experiences relayed in the video are disturbing. I have both design and utility patents. In general, utility patents can be very specific with regard to level of detail documented within the abstract. They receive a higher level of scrutiny by the USPTO during the review process and ...

Well, it looks pretty good to me too. That RPM gear cover certainly does look good in black. Do you think you’ll try to replace that chipped left drive cup or will you just live with it?

“…Will kids today view current cars as collectors one day, I tend to think not as we live in more and more of a throw away society with no apprecation for the past. Or at a minimum they will be collecting old I phones, vehicles of all types seem to matter less and less.” - RCveteran Very well stated...

“...Something that manufacturers that own their own machines and molds wouldn’t have to worry about. That’s why I’m very confused with Kyosho and their crowdfunding for the Turbo wheels." - GoMachV This is interesting. Do manufacturers like TT (AE), Kyosho, Tamiya, etc. actually own their moldi...

Really nice work, Nomad. You have some skill with a lathe.
And thanks for the info, jwscab. I think I will focus on making non-threaded parts like hinge pins. I'd rather not invest in special tools or risk ruining the thread dies I have. Thanks again for the advice.

Oh, sorry Mike, I didn’t realize you used the black shocks because you didn’t have a good set of golds. Sorry for my comment (I’m feeling like an ass now). So, yea, black caps on those shock and you're good-to-go, call’er done. Fantastic build!!

I don’t remember the M5, maybe it was around during my RC dark ages (post ’94 to about 2014)? I have a few Tekin esc from bitd; very reliable and performance was good. I’ve been using cheap Zippy 4000 and 5200 2S lipos from HobbyKing and my charger is a Hitec X4-80. No real problems so far with eith...

Hey, great that it's working now and that it's actually faster with the new esc. I received an old T4 in a derelict RC10 ebay find a while back, cleaned it up to be a runner but found that it’s performance was rather underwhelming and it doesn’t respond smoothly to throttle inputs. I swapped motors ...

Okay, that helps to explain why ti parts are so expensive. Fortunately, for the parts I'm planning to make, I won't be doing a lot of drilling or lathe turning -- assuming of course that the rod material's surface is smooth enough to be polished and used for a shock shaft. Guess we'll see.

Yea, I recently rebuilt my ProSC 4x4 around an aluminum pan chassis (to replace that awful factory “rubber” one) and I purchased the materials from onlinemetals. “Ti can wear one out.” Oh yea, I was gonna ask you about that. I’ve never worked with that material before; so, it’s pretty rough on tools...
