Re: Vintage AE Team / Worlds build thread

I finally set some time aside to do some more work on this build. I passed on the B2 style turnbuckles and stuck with the same style used for the earlier Team/Worlds. AE Ball studs are all the later stainless variant. I wanted to keep my Worlds shock kit intact for another project, so I sourced colo...

Re: Who made the "off road stock" motor?

The first iteration was a Yokomo "dry mag", and in 1988 they switched to the Yokomo "wet mag" when it became available.

Re: (1986-2005) RC Car Action Archives

I've tried all the links in this thread...the issues on internet archive I have on PDF, I have a lot of paper issues, but I'm missing from 1989 to 1994. Has anyone got a working pdf link for these issues? Thanks! It appears the link I posted back in Sept. finally threw the ghost. A lot of us have t...

Michael's has raised their price $75 (or more) over the past week. No longer a good deal.

Re: RC10 Classic 40th anniversary

I remember AE stating they would not be offering CC parts separately. I assumed they meant "clear" parts since chassis, nose, motor plates, tires (maybe something else) were offered up. I wonder if they have changed their stance with the 40th gold pan kit.

Re: RC10 Classic 40th anniversary

Hopefully the chassis aren't warped like the ones AE unloaded on eBay last year without mentioning they were blems. :wink:

Re: QUICK QUESTION

Appreciate the responses guys. Unfortunately its too late. The auction ended just after the first response. At least now I know for next time. Stealth trans are posted up often. The key is finding a complete one in good condition for less than $100. Your 6 gear will handle brushless and 2S if you h...

Re: So what did you get in the post today ???

I found a new 19D a few years ago, then this 19S popped up last week. These early 1990’s motors with ceramic shafts are really cool.

Re: RC10 Composite Craft Worlds build #2

Since you stated you are going "true to one direction...vintage" I figured you would want to know those Conklin aluminum outdrives are not vintage.

Re: B3 spares

6459 & 6460 are plentiful on eBay. The unobtanium versions are on there as well. I'd look for RPM steering blocks and get a few sets of AE ball cups if you're going to run it. I broke a rear suspension mount when I clipped the pipe barrier one time.
