Can someone explain the "outlawed" front wheels story? It was the only stadium truck that had narrow front tires/wheels when it debuted at the (I think) Florida winter nationals back in 199?. It did well, placing 1st and 2nd. There was some controversy due to the "skinny fronts"...

I've installed the electronics this afternoon so it's a runner now. Reedy 1523MG, Dynamite branded HW 1060, and a Corona Futaba compatible Rx. P1010016.JPG I have the body cut and fitted so I just need to mask and apply paint. Still waiting for decal sheet from MCI. The front tires are original 10T ...

... We are running chinese $1 a pop bearings these days vs the $80 high end NMB bearings sets back in the day. That's true and the difference is night and day. I have some of those early metal shielded bearings and they're still smooth and spin forever. By contrast, I've had to replace many of the ...

Same here but I've been rebuilding an old 10T clunker and suddenly I can't seem to get enough.
As a kid, I didn't like lemon meringue pie and now I can't stop thinking about it.

"Sold out" on their website so apparently they are only selling them in the store. I'm curious; did you happen to notice the price? That may have been a smart thing to look into! :) I did not. TBH, I doubt they would have been able to tell me, as I don't think they could even see them in ...

They will be apparently selling them through HobbyTown at the local retail level only. I will be on that side of town tomorrow, and will see what the local store says. HT chat confirmed that they are not planning on selling them online at this point, but to check back in, because these situations t...

Even though it was taken down, that's enough confirmation for me that it's eventually happening. :mrgreen: That was it. AE was waiting for the ReRe 10T subform to be created before they would put them on sale. Clear cause and effect. :lol: I'm order #246xxx. Dang, they're making a bunch of these! S...

Funny part is they didn't add that part of the instructions to the 40th manual and only show 2 small spacers on the shaft, no surprise if you run the car that way the axles hit the arms which led me to look up the old instructions. https://i.imgur.com/w1eK5fD.jpg There are a couple big differences ...

Holy smokes, Mike!

A few parts from FanRC for a couple future builds arrived yesterday.
Everything looks nice; those shocks are impressive!. We'll see how they build but the parts certainly look high quality.

I've been a Honda fan since my first motorcycle when I was about 10 years old - an XL70 - and I've been riding Honda's ever since. Today, the collection includes a couple early CB750's a CBX (6 cylinder, 24 valves) and a VFR (V-four, fuel injection) and each bike is a marvel of engineering. My daily...

The chassis is finished so thought I'd post an update. P1010001.JPG P1010005.JPG The tub has spent some time as a buggy so a quick coat of matte black hides the scratches. P1010010.JPG I've had a couple new sets of these threaded shock bodies for a while and this seems like a good project to use a s...

The kit is up on Tower's site although it may be largely symbolic. Similar to the experience of others, Tower has not filled some of my preorders, RC10 40th included. https://www.towerhobbies.com/product/rc10t-classic-kit/ASC7002.html I'm very surprised that you still haven't received your 40th. &q...

For those who don't feel they've suffered enough anguish, torment and frustration in their lives, Tower Hobbies has posted the 10T for pre-order. :roll: I've been monitoring Horizon, Amain and Liquid as well to see which one posts the truck first. Also, I wanted confirmation that the 10T wasn't bein...

Those parts look fantastic!
The slight shading from the sun just gives it character and let's everyone know this one's a legit, OG, Made in America RC10.

Old style case with spacers and bearing in the case. Felt transmission gasket idler is a part number I don't recognize. Manual with part numbers some references to cc parts, some part numbers not updated around fasteners 15 degree casters 1/4" axle rear Also: Later style steering blocks with a...
