Oh man, that's so cool! The Lazer gotta be my favorite of the hornet knockoffs.

Despite being a lot of RC10 versions, there's nice variety this month! I think the rere parts availability has really helped with inspiring new builds. Nothing too special. Fairly nice RC10 runner with a Kinwald inspired body. If there is a mod for the 6-gear that makes it smoother, this has it. Te...

Butchered this 6 gear motorplate to fit a stealth and then chopped some more to fit it into the tamiya astute chassis. Quite pleased with the final result. Will dye the stealth case black to match the tamiya plastics

Thanks guys! I never would have come up with the tie rod trick, but I will be using that.

I adore grepro's grasshopper 2. So much character!

OK so maybe I'm being really dumb right now, but I cannot for the life of me get a nut on this screw to hold the gear cover on. It just runs into the cover and won't screw on. Is there some sort of special nut that these covers use? I've looked online but can't find a good picture.

Figured I should make one thread for all my custom paint stuff. Astute: Screenshot_20250425-213248_Gallery.jpg Astute Undertray: Screenshot_20250427-211213_Gallery.jpg RC10 Boki Mirage #1: "Cashflow" Screenshot_20250425-182201_Gallery.jpg RC10 Boki Mirage #2: "Kinda Kinwald" Scre...

Nothing too special. Fairly nice RC10 runner with a Kinwald inspired body. If there is a mod for the 6-gear that makes it smoother, this has it. Team Car universals. Long arms, JC Racing wheels, Jconcepts rear tires, Schumacher fronts. Reliable runner that rarely let's me down.

Not exactly the post but from offerup. 3 different colors of the AE 6854 3 piece wheels. No clue what I'm going to do with them since they're NOS, but whatever.

No clue if that was the right armature but it did fit. So I'm calling it good enough, or at least better than being disassembled in a wet box.

Darn it! Well it's gonna be one of them unless I find the right one sometime soon and it might as well be a double turn, regardless of which double turn it is.

Thank you for all the help. I found 5 random armatures in the box of many things. I think the one on the far right is our culprit. It's double wound and has "12" written on it. If anyone cares to ID the other armatures, feel free.

If I have an armature that doesn't go into a bearing, I hold one shaft end in a drill, spin it up, and polish the other shaft end with 500 or 1000 grit sandpaper. Usually it's the pinion end that needs the cleanup. That armature looks like a stock motor armature. Lots of wraps of wire on it. This i...

Normally the armature just slips in the bearings.... I don't think that is the correct armature as it looks like a single wind instead of a double wind. Hmmmmm.... interesting. I'll look through the stock of armatures that came with the lot to see what I have that might fit the bill. How should I t...

We used to sell an adapter plate to put a stealth on the astute. If you get stuck let me know and I should be able to reverse it to a 6 gear using the one set of holes that lined up, then add the stealth holes from the adapter plate to get the correct layout. It's like a 5 minute task to lay it out...
