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

i got the "cheap deans" and have soldered one set (battery and charger) with no problems. They do seam to get super freaking hot, but didnt seem to melt. Figure they are better than the crapy tamiya plugs. I still have 3 more sets to solder, we'll see if i can do it without metlting them.

i ordered the deans "knock-offs" from ebay. From everything i read, the big dif is the body of the knock-offs are made of a lower quality material, but is ribbed and easier to unplug. We'll see how they work. Either way, the old style plugs are history.

Hello all, I recently receieved my new promatch energ 4600 7-cell battery and had my first run on my re-buildt RC10t. I'm running a dynamite tazer 15t esc and a new 17t motor. I was maybe 5 minutes into my bashing session when the truck just stopped. Turns out one of the wire connectors (tamiya plug...

i decided to pull out the old frog, clean it up and make it drivable again. I've already fab'd some rear shock mounts (copied the crp hop up part) and working on the front shock mounts (again, copying the crp parts). This car will never be a shelf queen, rather a back yard basher. I'll be running th...

since i've pretty much completed my rc10 to rc10t project, now its time to bash. I have a few old nicd batteries which i know are junk and have one venom 3000 nimh, which isnt great. i need to pick up a few decent and cheap packs (nimh - not ready for lipo) for some back yard bashing. What do you re...

Just a quick update. One of this boards members saw my post, had pity on me, and hooked me up with the proper RC10T servo saver / steering setup. A BIG THANK YOU.... to my new friend a01butal !!!!!! this board and the people are incredible. I've almost completed my rc10 to rc10t conversion, now onto...

thanks bugle, thats the type of info i need. i asked about the T2 only bc i found a complete set on ebay. I'll work on the rc10t setup.

wow, should have checked my spelling. What i meant to say....... i'm converting my old rc10 gold pan buggy to a truck and want to know if the RC10 T2 steering setup (servo saver) would be an upgrade over the stock BUGGY servo saver. The T2 setup appears more substantial. Or would i be better off buc...

I've been working on converting my old rc10 in into a rc10t. I still have the old bugger steering set up and have been looking to upgrade. I'm a novice and read some about the ball bearing bellcranks (?) would the steering set up out of RC10 T2 be an upgrade? it isnt a ball bearing set up, but appea...

Asso_man - thanks for the greeting. I'll snap some pics this weekend.

for future reference, can i get wider rear arms for this car?

also, are the ball bearing steering kits worth it?

thanks again guys!

RedScampi - NO WAY. He gets to drive the traxxas stampede and dad gets the rc10.

Theytook..... - thank you for the suggestion, i'll try that next.

im running my old futaba magnum jr.

i'll try to stiffent the rear. i've been playing with different oil, springs and shocks and it seemed to not roll with soft springs.

Hello all, just found this forum and i'm very impressed. I've recently pulled my gold tub out of storage and re-built it for my son. my problem is i cant seem to keep it from rolling in the turns (on the street). besides softening the rear suspension, what options do i have? Are there any wide arms ...
