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

Ran it for all of 2 minutes Sunday. Seemed ok, until the pin popped out and the CVD bone fell off! Rookie mistake, they come pre-assembled and I didn't check that the grub screw was done up tight. Unless I can find a rebuild kit, then I'll go back to the original dogbones. Or I could spend another £...

Thanks, I hadn’t considered that, in the meantime I’ve got hold of FTX Edge cvds. As the Edge looks so similar to the B4 I thought it was worth a try. I also needed the rear hubs as its metric. Drilled the hinge pin holes in the arms out to 3mm to match the hub and then discovered the dogbone is a c...

Hope this is the right place to post, I'm trying to find a replacement CVA/CVD set for my B4.2 and can't seem to find any in the UK. Every time I've ordered something outside the UK I seem to get stung on taxes or shipping is crazy expensive. (I think everyone must have used them on their RC10s!) Do...

Normal people have a pet monkey?



I always knew I wasn't normal!

Is the b4 fragile? No
Are the other cars mentioned stronger? Yes
Having said that, I don't think it's by much

I think it's even more noticable in the 'Micro' class within the UK. It started out as 1/18 scale with correspondingly sized wheels and gradually grew and grew until the '1/16' scale cars are the same width as 1/10 touring cars, run 1/10 touring car wheels and the wheelbase is only fractionally shor...

For a runner then yes, the best nuts to hold the rear wheels on are the steel nyloc nuts, the all nylon ones aren't strong enough imo

sigh, even the nostalgia isn't what it used to be, in my day.......!

I can't think of anything else to add to that list tbh, that would make a nice grid line up photo!

Sadly Mardave only have parts for the Meteor that the later Cobra also uses, Meteor parts in general seem to be hard to come by.

Nice looking car you have there, I picked one up a few months back ago on a complete whim and think they're undervalued at the moment.

Nice!
Just run on the grass, that's what our old school tracks were! It'll save renting the sod cutter, get some old firehose out there to lay it out.
In fact some of our clubs still do, so many are still temporary and can't lay permanent tracks using astroturf or similar

Luke and none of you are my father. yes Ive heard it before :roll: Just get a Charger and people won't say that anymore. Instead, they'll call you Luke Duke and ask you where Bo & Daisy are. Mmmmm, Daisy Duke :oops: :mrgreen: My name's pete B hence peetbee (ok there is more to my surname than 1...

Racing a Tamiya Manta Ray :lol: I think that shows how talented the guy must have been! :shock: To be fair his Manta Ray's were the TRF of their day and eventually you could buy something close as the Top Force - RW did a chassis conversion for the Ray and I loved mine, found it more forgiving than...

I really must update this topic properly, but for now here's my attempt at an RC10 timeline!

Cheers Dan, no it is an E36 Beemer shell, original too as that's what it says on the side of the box and the decal sheet is correct too It's a #8084 DS Qualifier
