I just finished my runner. 1991 RC10 Champ Edition. I threw in a pic of the beginning of my next project... it will also be an RC10 Champ Edition, but I have a freshly powder coated chassis for this one. http://members.cox.net/brianspratt/DSC_0917.JPG http://members.cox.net/brianspratt/DSC_0918.JPG ...

I've had my eye on these for a while now. Think I'll pick some up eventually. They're actually sold by a member here on the forum. If I remember right, his name is Atlas on this site. Just pick up some bearings and you'd be all set: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=250568002432...

So, does the B3 cvd kit have the same basic dimensions and fit as the B2 kit? Meaning it would work on an old RC10 just as well as the B2 cvd kit?

Yes, that seems to work well... thanks for the tip!!

I switched over to the AE 3/16" rear axle to run the 2.2 duratrax wheels. However, the axle does not have the deep recess to put the stock spring into. This causes a little slop in the dogbone setup. Just wondering if anyone else has noticed this or if there is some fix for it. Here's the part....

Is there a place to buy those online? I'm not finding it.....

Is there some trick to get the diff gear off the diff tube. I have a bushing in there I'd like to replace with a bearing, but I can't seem to get the thing apart. Anyone have suggestions?

eastwood sells a putty for fixing imperfections prior to powder coating. it's supposed to withstand the high temps, and the powder is supposed to stick to it. Another thread recommends this: http://www.amazon.com/Permatex-26346-Temperature-Repair-Compound/dp/B000ALBZMG I'm going to see how well I c...

Thanks for the quick response.... What is the significance of "DA" sandpaper? Is that a particular type of paper, or a special tool? I basically have a little handheld block the size of a piece of soap that I can fix my sandpaper to. Would that be sufficient in your opinion? Also, when you...

cool, thanks.

I have a chassis that I'll be soon taking to get powder coated, and I tried using a dremel with a wire brush attachment to sort of smooth out certain areas where the chassis was gouged or scratched fairly deeply. Of course I'm not completely smoothing it out, but just making it a bit less obvious by...

Anybody know how well these fit on the gold shock bodies?

Anybody have an actual link where one could buy these wheel spacers?

So would something like this be ideal for polishing and protecting?

I have some shock bodies that I'm probably going to stip the anodizing off because they are already loosing the color due to shock springs rubbing and general use. I would get them powdercoated but I'm afraid that the coating would interfere with the ability to thread on the shock cap and with the f...
