RC10Talk - The Net's Largest Vintage R/C Community

Thanks for the info, I like the idea of a short course truck and not having all the hanging body parts. I am deciding to do a few things......and like most things I do it is probably over kill. - I bought a Pro-Line Pro 2 and it is on the way, I like the idea that it is a short course truck and I ca...

Finally watched this a couple weeks ago.
The Star Wars one was cool......actually all of them were.
I thought the Barbie one would lose my interest and just had it on as I was in the kitchen, after listening to it for a bit I came back to the Den and watched it.

I should have posted this under general/chit chat, If someone wants to move it to the general section, please do so. I understand that Traxxas is a go to one for bashers all over the place.....so I should really go that way. I have thought of an RC10 conversion, and I already have a pan that has bee...

I am not sure where else to put this and I hope everyone is ok with me posting this here. I am not and have never really been a basher, when I was a kid I did the "lets see how big of a jump I can take this off", until I broke something that was difficult to get replacements for.....and th...

For shock o-rings I'm partial to Avid SLOP. I have seen a bunch of comments to grease the o ring, It seems like we just used to rub them with some oil and dump the shock oil in....bleed, and done. This is a quoted from another page and was not sure if I could link to it. "I have heard of guys ...

I know this is a loaded question, but.... Obviously RC10 (6 gear and Stealth) as well as Kyosho Optima, but also have a Hot Bodies D413 and will probably be adding more to the list. Figured this would be an easy decision.....When I was a kid, I just went to the hobby shop, someone asked what I neede...

To convert the Original Optima into 2016 gear/diff spec. will set you back 100-120 USD + 30-40 for the counter sunk plates. Regarding the Pro Xrt, I´d go for either a Lethal Weapon, a Triumph or a RB transmission - None of those are plug and play, but the Triumph has the same bolt pattern as the SS...

Can you give a tutorial for the Lexan Layman on how you get such beautiful cuts?

This is a great build, now I want to put one like this on my list.

That second post about just purchase the gear cases and gears is what is beating out all other choices right now. I already have a Turbo Optima and a Turbo Optima Mid that are both OG, this extra one was a parts car and instead of buying a rere I thought I would make this one a bit of a mutt. I was ...

I have a parts Optima that I have been thinking of building into a runner.....I have searched and found random comments and know that not everything is interchangable, but what 2016 parts can be swapped out on the original. I like the flush screws in the rear plates and would like to swap them out. ...

Thanks for all the answers. I have been using dawn, just picked up some simple green, but still need to get WD-40.....that stuff was always a sin to have around when I grew up.

Also have a bunch of bottles of Hydrogen Peroxide for the RC10's white part.

This was a really cool thing to do for someone. I only wish I found this post earlier so I could have helped out. Good job for everyone that helped on this. I also think it is really cool that he was trying to build something with what he had, it also looks like he posted some project stuff on faceb...

Which type of Simple Green? They now have the original recipe, along with industrial cleaner & degreaser, clean building, heavy duty, crystal, and I think one or two more. I am guessing the original, All Purpose, Stuff. Thanks for the info. Simple question, but I'm glad I asked before taking oth...

Wondering what is the best (and safest) way to clean vintage R/C gearbox and Diffs. I have done a lot of searching and see that a lot of people use Naptha, I am just wondering if it is safe to use on a vintage gearbox, diffs, and "gears"? If it helps......Of course I am talking about an RC...

mk-Zero... I got to talk to Billy about guitar stuff when I think he was first starting to play. Do you know if he kept with it? I know of TheBucket and Notchback65, they are both names I have seen a lot of post from, I believe they were both over on the Samba.......As for meeting them, I am honestl...
