I can't answer your question. I was taking a break from RC when the T2 came around. But I see there's no gearbox. What are your plans there? Get a 1st gen Stealth? Get the new gearbox case that lets you use modern 2.6 ratio gears? Me too. I slept through B2/T2, '3 and '4. Then I woke up and started...

Just a late model sport truck. If my memory is correct they were still selling the original truck when the T2 was first released and sold. yep, as stated above a late 7011 kit. Bushings and gold shocks, as well as dogbones standard. Three piece wheels. Would have came with a mechanical speed contro...

I received this truck many years ago in a parts lot that included a very dirty but very complete RC10 Graphite. Anyway, I'd like to rebuild this T? close to original and make a nice runner but I'm a bit confused. It appears to have T2 arms but a chassis tub and rear shock tower from the original T. ...

This is interesting in that most guys convert Scorchers to Rangers since they are so rare. You may want to hold on to those Ranger specific parts in case you change your mind some day. :D Anyway, having recently restored a Ranger, I can add that the front body post is also different from Scorcher. T...

You know it's a good day when a NIB RC10 arrives at your doorstep.

I was about to order the Tamiya gear diff assembly (54471) and it suddenly occurred to me that the diff gear and side plate assembly is almost certainly too wide to fit the Austar/Injora case. That case is very narrow and closely hugs the gears. :( Maybe the Tamiya ball diff (54306), with outdrive b...

WOw, that's a nice FX10.

AGREE!

I'm guessing that comment wasn't posted by Kevin Talbot. :lol: Actually, doing wheelies really isn't harmful. It's the sudden shock to the drive train from the tires losing then suddenly gaining grip under throttle as the car lands from a jump or drives over rough terrain that really tests the inte...

WOw, that's a nice collection of NIB kits.

Found someone 3D printing the asc6614 gears for $10, many people have bought them, and no complaints, quite the opposite it would seem. https://www.ebay.com/itm/153727498232 Hmmm, that's interesting and thank you for posting a link but I'd have to pass on them. There's a lot of gear reduction ahead...

☝️ well put. Swapping six gear transmissions to 48 pitch pinion/spurs for off-road racing was also a thing back in the day. Previous owner looked like he came from the on-road/carpet world... foam tires, 64 pitch gearing, locked diff, etc... maybe his local carpet track built some ramps to bring in...

It's probably just me but I can't imagine buying a limited edition anniversary kit like this and not cracking it open to inspect the contents.

For those who can resist the temptation, you have a lot more self-control than me.

... I was not familiar with term or concept of diametral pitch, always had referred to them by tooth count in the past. I apologize for not making it clear in my earlier comment. :oops: There's an inverse relationship between diametral pitch (dp) and the actual size of the tooth. Thus, 32dp is a la...

I think 64dp gears are fine for relatively low power 1/12 pan car but I'd never run them in anything more powerful or heavy. Those tiny teeth don't offer a lot of shear strength. To keep your RC10 original and reliable, you'll want to use the white 32dp spur gear. For the differential to function, y...
