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

I saw a flyer somewhere on Facebook (can't find it now), that said we are going to run on outdoor track this year?!?
- What does that mean for tires?
- Knobbies??

Moved an old Losi project out of the way so I can start getting VONats cars ready:

I have had a few DF-03 chassis for years and never run any of them - until this weekend. Two of the chassis are basically stock rollers - the third one has a few upgrades including: - Tamiya aluminum Hop Up shocks - incredibly smooth, very nice shocks. - Front one-way diff. - Various blue aluminum p...

What are you using to keep the shorty LiPo in place?

This is very sweet - just like all your race cars!
- (let me know if you ever want to sell any of your vintage race builds )


We will plan for North Carolina again also - I am kinda thinking I might focus on B2/B3 cars for VONats, and aluminum tub RC10s for NC ?
- We'll see.

Some new 4-40 hardware:

Very Nice! There is a guy on eBay that sells T3 battery straps with a slot down the middle and a small brace that screws into the slot - this way you can move the battery around, even put a shorty all the way to the front, without modifying anything else. I have one at home - can send a picture late...

I think that is exactly what is going on - Thanks for the tip!

So I need to move the steering up to the front holes, right?

I got this Big Bore shock setup from JK Racing a while back:

23mm bodies up front X 21mm shaft
31mm bodies out back X 27.5mm shaft

1.7 hole pistons front, brown springs, 27.5 oil
1.6 hole pistons rear, green springs, 25 oil

Super sweet T, alota RPM goodies. Steering enhancement kit is the icing 8) Funny you mention the steering - something is funky with the geometry, it has a ton of bump-steer. - The only odd thing I see is the steering links are in the more rearward Ackerman position on the bell cranks. - I will move...

I pulled out an old RC10T to scavenge some parts, decided to go ahead and work on the old 10T a bit. It is a painted white chassis with a few RPM parts installed - I convinced my wife to paint all the RPM logos we could find. - Even the tiny logos inside the caster blocks! :lol: Then applied a few d...

Wow that is cool! Thanks for the info!

The body I posted above is on the way to another member already

Interesting thread here - neat to read some of the stories. The first car I ever actually entered a race with was a Tamiya Falcon, when it was brand-new - so Summer 1986. - This was at a red-sand track built in an open area between an apartment complex and a drainage ditch here in San Antonio. Of co...
