nevermind....discoverd the 'search' function....

anyone here removed the gold anodizing from a gold tub? i've use easy/off to take anodizing off other rc stuff but the rc10 tubs look a little more durable. i dont' think it'll come off as easily and cleanly. maybe some sort of paint stripper is in order?
i'm going for a brushed alu look.

My 4 year old flipped out when he saw the McQueen body when I was looking at this thread. how 'bout getting him to paint up a Chick Hicks or The King

Pop the cover off check your slipper and tighten it down, it may be slipping too much due to the torque of the brushless- you're probably hitting the throttle and watching it creep along as you hear the motor/gears screaming.

I think they are the same size as the newer ones. The proline dirt hawgs are a good all around tire. yeah, I like the looks of those. do you know how durable they are or should I buy 2 sets at a time? Sweet build! Lipo/brushless will kill any tires that you run on gravel and concrete won't last ver...

After two years of busy schedule, i'm finally on long vacation again before starting on my new job. I've leave my rc stuffs in the store room long enough and cob webs had formed... I hope to machine some parts for the RC10 during my rest period. Just let me know what you need and i'll see what i ca...

There are a couple schools of thought on how to run/store lipos. On any of my 2s-3s stuff, I just run it, charge it, run it, charge it- then store it fully charged. I've gone 5-6 months w/o use on some of the lipos and haven't had any problems. On the 4s-5s lipos, I'd top them off at least every tw...

Thanks for the heads up.

Hey Rich,
Have you taken this bad boy out to to the OC R/C raceway?

thanks, looks like there's some reading to do in that other thread.

Anyone here have them and run them? if so how well do they roll relative to the weight?
Thx

Looks like you have a nice track setup there. Maybe have whomever, mow that grass all the way down to get more run time. Also, you got a nice 30c Lipo there, try a lesser batt(20 0r 25c), that'll slow the current down a little to keep you from wheeling and maybe give you some extra minutes- I've bee...

Word of advice... keep the toddlers away from anything you value. My son's almost 5 now, but from about 18m-4yr, he was throwing Mini-T's about 15 feet into the air. He finally got some respect for rc's after a 12 pound Emaxx knocked him on his butt. Very nice kitty you got there.

can he cut some shock towers?
