Thanks for all the information, Lobo. I'm still not sure if I'll ever do anything with this truck, but this is most helpful should I decide to.

I was looking into hardness a little more since my previous post. I don't think the B70 is going to cut it, even though those washers are pretty much identical dimension wise. Here's another option with C44 hardness. They are a little thinner, but these might actually do the trick. I'm no expert on ...

you can try mcmaster 97022A240. https://www.mcmaster.com/washers/material~stainless-steel/id~1-2/id~0-501/id~0-502/id~0-503/id~0-505/id~0-51/thickness~0-025/ The washers I measured were ID.505" -- OD .749" -- Thickness .026" These washers are ID .500-.511" -- OD .748"-.752&q...

I don't have much experience with nitro, but one thing i'm realizing after receiving this particular truck is that the engines are very hard to come by. Looks like the crankshaft needs to be really short. There's even modification details in the manual to modify engines that were available at that t...

Ok, I see you all are talking about different types of 3d printing than I was thinking, which would explain the costs you're talking about. It's all becoming clear, lol. Just for the record, most of the bearings/screws are from McMaster Carr. I also model bearings as solids and generally if I get a ...

I agree. I'm very impressed by the tires as well. There's so many details in this model!! A couple years ago, Dadio built an entirely 3d printed Yoke Dogfighter - which was mega-cool. Someday, I want to build an RC10 from printed parts -- well, at least the nylon parts anyway. I haven't total the c...

Thanks for noticing the details guys; really makes it worth putting them in there :) Got the 6 gear done and it's up on grabcad now too. Gonna hold off on the graphite chassis as that car is pretty fully assembled already. Here's a snip of the 6 gear tranny. It always surprises me how many little pa...

That looks awesome! I noticed that you've even captured the felt gasket between the motor plate and the trans. Very nice work! I had a copy of SolidWorks many years ago and I really enjoyed using it. That was several laptops ago and I'm sure it has gotten lost at some point. Anyway, I really enjoy ...

Thanks Dadio I was debating on modifying things to fit as I felt they should, but figured it'd be best to leave it is as measured. It kills me leaving hole centers at .6235" when I know it should be .625". I did modify a few for mating purposes, but it is generally left as measured.

Full model of an RC10 is now available on grabcad in SolidWorks 2019 and .step formats. Here's a link. https://grabcad.com/library/team-associated-rc10-ce-buggy-gold-pan-with-stealth-transmission-1 I had to make some models of the shocks and front wheels for some projects I'm working on, and was als...

Well deserved, Mr. Mazda. It was tough choosing who to vote for, but you did get mine

Made a little progress on this. Found out the transmission is basically garbage. Was looking into replacing it with a stealth, but since the chassis isn't cut for one, i decided to leave it original and rebuild the 6 gear. Haven't really done anything on the rebuild yet aside from ordering a new cas...

No need to worry, there are no plans to convert it to electric.

That's a nice truck. I think it would be a fun runner. If doing that, then I'd run it a while to get a feel for it before working on the underside of the chassis. That's also a nice granite inspection slab. Definitely a good way to check chassis flatness. Thanks. I might get it up and running again...

Came across this thing a few weeks back. It's amazing how well these things can clean up. This took me about a night and a half, with not much more than an ultrasonic cleaner and a handful of beers. The chassis had a decent bend in it, but I was able to get it about 75% straighter. Didn't touch the ...
