Re: Fresh out of the attic after 15 years

Score! I was digging through an old box of r/c stuff and found a white unused a-arm. Only found one, and it was for the correct side! How lucky is that?!

I was councelled by my 9 year old son to order the RPM arms anyway and swap them out, keeping the originals safe. Wise young man...

Re: Fresh out of the attic after 15 years

I don't know how many times I've read on this forum that RC10(x) + brushless = broken parts...I should have listened. On my first run with my new brushless RC10T I broke a front a-arm. I was chasing down my son's Slash 4x4, he stopped, turned, then I t-boned him at full throttle. Didn't get more tha...

Re: Question: windings vs gears

Interesting post. I'm rebuiding my RC10T with a brushless system and expect to find the right gearing through trial and error (i.e. a handful of pinions and a temp guage). I was planning to take my son with me to the track and let him run his Slash 4x4 (has the stock 3500kv set up). He has only run ...

Re: budget lipos?

Is size an issue with lipos fitting into the battery slot shown in my configuration below? I have a couple really old nicd packs that barely fit.

Re: Fresh out of the attic after 15 years

I like the narrow fronts, I always thought it handled and accelerated better with them. I'm going to take them off for bashing though to preserve the rubber (I only have one set of narrows). Which leads me to an earlier question I didn't get answered. What current tires and or wheels will fit? Will ...

Re: Fresh out of the attic after 15 years

Here are a couple or three photos of the trans and truck. I was clearly halucinating when I saw a black trans case. More questions: - What is a good starting point for gearing with my 4000kv motor? - Where do I buy spurs/pinions? I looked on ebay and tower, but couldn't figure out what would fit my ...

Re: Fresh out of the attic after 15 years

Thanks for the responses. I found the manual online and saw that it had a stealth trans too. A couple of things that make me wonder if it had the RPM upgrade are an RPM dustcover and the trans case is black instead of white. I'll have to post some pictures to see if anyone recognizes it. The other i...

Re: Brushless in a Vintage Gold Pan

I'm new here so I'm not tired of this topic... I just pulled my RC10T out of the attic and ordered a 60A + 4000kv brushless set up. I haven't received it yet, so I can't tell you how it performs. However, I looked at the 35A ESC and decided against it. I think it was the manufactures recommendations...

Fresh out of the attic after 15 years

Hi fellow R/C enthusiasts! New to the site and back into R/C after 15 years. Boy have things changed! I pulled my RC10T out of the attic, charged up the old batteries and ... it glitches like crazy and goes about 2 mph. I've been researching the newest tech and came across this great site! So here I...
