Found the correct specs on the OS Max .12 CV head bolts, M2.6x12 is what it came with. https://www.manualslib.com/manual/645611/O-S-Engine-Max-12cv-Series.html?page=21#manual I found M2.6x16mm at the longest. Really wanted 20mm, so I could cut it to be as long as possible. https://www.mcmaster.com/p...

I never watched this tape, all of these years, I winged mine out of the box, AKA the 'hard way'. I missed so much vital info, so glad to be able to watch this now.

Found a place that appears to sell reproductions of all of the box art RC10gt decals. Anyone have any experience with this shop? https://mciracing.ca/products/1-10th-associated-rc10-gt-box-art-decals https://mciracing.ca/cdn/shop/products/0bd1c7b0d94d7ff88e560743870e0e99_1024x1024@2x.jpg That sure l...

@ the green baron themed GT

I'll just order a bolt kit with M2 and M3, and hope to get it right.

#2's engine problems: Carb rotary slide is frozen in one spot, soaking it in 99% alcohol, will give it the heat gun treatment, after a few hours in the sauce. https://i.imgur.com/xnpdaol.jpg I need to get a longer head bolt, to reach down further in to the OS .12 case, past the stripped thread secti...

Box Art?? Nooo..... Green Baron.jpg Go full Baron on it! :mrgreen: :lol: That would be epic! Can you imagine the disgust and retribution that would bring me, defacing Andy's work like that. The box art decal votes have it. This won't be an easy feat though to get all of those decals, specifically t...

#2's body arrived today, by way of J Concepts, then a brief stop over at Andy's.





Stock box art decals, or no decals? Rear wing, or no rear wing? What would you do? (Strictly for display purposes)

Got the flywheel puller today. https://i.imgur.com/uiIAa66.jpg With a 'crack' it pulled off in less time than it took to setup this pic. https://i.imgur.com/8QOdYBX.jpg GT #1 engine ready to go, this one has what I think is the MIP clutch in it. https://i.imgur.com/seVqmP4.jpg Need to find another a...

Once you see the ones from Amazon, you'll understand the price difference. I bought some cheap ones on Amazon and the leads are tiny and short. I've used some of them but they don't compare to higher quality ones. I'll have (117) extras in case anything were to go wrong :D . Can't imagine paying ov...

Getting ready to connect the ESC to the stock DS Spec motor. Rooster motor wires are yellow and blue. https://i.imgur.com/TWF0jXx.jpg Stock MSC had the red/black wires. https://i.imgur.com/oBXQfEr.jpg Preparing for connecting the blue and yellow to match. https://i.imgur.com/XDce9Ib.jpg When I saw t...

Took a look to make sure the one way bearing was still good in the #2 CV engine recoil, turns out the bearing is glued in, strongly. https://i.imgur.com/6794fAJ.jpg The CZ version on the right, is one model older, has had many more hours and pulls on it, and works like new still; the bearing is not ...

Probably a stupid question, but here goes..... Do they "license" or attempt to replicate actual RC cars? Can you drive an RC10, or a Top Cat, or a Top Cat, or maybe a Top Cat? :D My RC flight sim uses the controller, too, and I find it actually helps as a trainer. It uses RC planes that a...

IF you are wanting to open pandora's box you could redo your recoil. Picture the gag of the spring 'worm' out of the can of pringles type thing if you wanna have some fun with the voices in your head that told you not to mess with it. :lol: More than likely its just a weak spring or the spring pick...

This sim was just updated on 11/17/23 to include crawlers and bashers. Just raced with someone out there, the AE SC10 4X4 class, was a lot of fun when the racing got close to the other guy. I'm using an X Box controller, and set it up throttle/brake on the Y axis, and steering on X axis - normal two...

Was just watching this RC documentary: nYrEScetFkU At 6:07 he says he played the Silver Dollar track on VRC-Pro many times. I went looking to see what VRC-Pro is. It's a free RC sim with IFMAR tracks. I have Realflight simulator for Heli's, figured I'd try this, it's free. While it's downloading I f...
