I took some time off from my hobbies for the last 4 months or so. I still trolled the board though :roll: But now that things have calmed down I decided to find out what that diff noise was in my RC10 Runner. I ended up needing a new diff. Now I'm 99% sure the reason my last two diffs have failed is...

looking good. What body are you going to use? It would look killer with a buggy body... does anyone even make one that would fit?

Hmmm... I have plenty of otherwise un usable chassis laying around... does he have a build list for this creation?

The van gods are pleased. Good looking van.

Are you going to start to have someone make some bodies? really interested..:) Sorry, i've had a lot of family related stuff come up over the past few months. I still have the mold but any plans to make bodies from it have been placed on the back burner for now. Mr. Lexan makes some nice re-pros th...

wow, I didn't think I was ever going to get a response on this :lol: The Body is by itself. I got it at a Hobby Shop that is now closed so I can't ask the owner about it. It's Painted red and done very well with no signs of overs pray, runs, etc... I know some of the original RC10 Bodies were availa...

I would definetely get all of the old gas out of the tank. No doubt. Hopefully the last time it burned fuel, it was the non-ethanol gas. If it wasn't, I can almost gaurantee you will need to go through and clean the carb due to varnishing. The ethanol-mix fuel seems to be really bad about that. doe...

thanks for all the tips, It's going to be a week or two before I get it to my house. After that I'll start going over it. Shouldn't be too hard, I've worked on GM big blocks before: a olds 455 and currently a Cadillac 429. Looks to be much more simpler in a Boat application, Lots more room for sure ...

I was suggesting putting some fuel in and letting it sit overnight in hopes it will soak into the seals and "help" out a bit

Thanks for the quick responses,

It was garage kept and covered for the last five years. It does have a holly on it should I fill the bowl with fuel and let it sit a bit before cranking? or is it a "cross my fingers" and fire it up situation

I though I'd ask around here first, I figured many of us have big toys as well as little ones... I recently acquired my father's Jet Boat (after 10 years of nagging) The Engine (454) was rebuilt in 2003 and not ran much between 2003 - 2005. It has sat in my Father's garage since. Any tips on prep an...

I know it is just me, right?

I saw that about two weeks ago and sent Associated a e-mail... discontinued

Thanks for all the tips guys, I will be trying a few out for sure later on. For my slash screws I just sprayed them with brake cleaner and it worked as expected. It's definitely the easiest and quickest way. But like Reg said, Be carefull :wink: The grease and grime came right off, not perfect but t...

Good lookin truck. I say get some more white parts and maybe some carbon towers to go with that worlds chassis... truck style

If your not looking for graphite, the standard #6231 tower will work and is still available: http://www3.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bin/wti0001p?&I=LX2529&P=M
