Hi you have 2 nices cars, with Ranch Pit Stop graphite option, chassis, upper plate and rear shock tower... :wink: awesome! Thanks for the heads up on the carbon. one top plate is not drilled for the servos, and looks as new as that lower, so that may be used for a shelf queen. I'm still learning a...

Last few days I found some time for this project. I'm a big fan of the aluminum chassis look of 1/8 scale so I decided to replace the like new carbon lower(main?) chassis with the alloy. Took a short amount of time to swap, but I got a better idea of how this beast ticks. Im very familiar with moder...

I remember seeing that lot for sale. I thought about it, but I don't know the first thing about 1/8 scale onroad, so I passed. Can't wait to see what you do with them. Everything I know about 1/8 scale onroad is coming from hacking a 10T into a GT 15 years ago. ...I too am looking forward to the ou...

I don't recall his name, but he lived in SE Portland and seemed to still be active in 5th scale. He sold me everything for 1/8 onroad that he had around. Very nice guy. I'm sure the trunk he included had his name from traveling to races. I'll see if I can't find a first name for ya. Needless to say,...

Urban,
Thanks. That was really what I wanted to hear. I may go modern with the engine to keep parts available and tuning to a minimum.
I'll look around for a suitable body...
Thanks again,

I bought a Serpent Quattro off a local ex-racer here in Portland. Hoping to use it at our local 1/8th nitro road course here in the North West. I'm really excited to try to get this running for a few weekends this summer just for a side project. I'd like to get a feel for the class to justify purcha...

Brushless and lipo is wheelie happy in a 10t. I have both a 10t and a t4. I run both but the t4 is a much more planted truck with the brushless. The stealth in the original 10t will hold up but the stock slipper will not. I bought the t4 just to have something more modern and easier to find parts f...

I gotta fess up... That was my Gold Pan collection. Very sorry to the CL responses I did not respond to. It sold on the RCTech site before I got b/s/t access here. As soon as I sold the lot and thought I was RC10T only, I started grabbing local GT's and TWO came with cadilacs! So my RC10 collection ...

There is some scratching on the arms of another kit I just received and the white is showing through, but if they were dyed, they did a great job. I am aware that they had black plastic kits just before the T2, but were they dyed, painted or truly black injected? Pics to come, but I was wondering if...

My third car in rc was a 10T that I cobbled into a gt. Seeing this restoration brings back some great memories!
Thanks for sharing.
And what happened to 2wd nitro? I was rooting for the SC10gt to spark some life! Damn those lipos!!!!

thanks guys for all your replys. i am kinda new when talking about vintage rc's but i find them very cool. i was looking to build a 1984 rc10 goldpan with a brushless motor and a lipo battery. for this type of rc are the parts still available? like rpm tables, and the stealth transmission and every...

Jeepzz, Does seem like a wire depth issue. Thanks for the reply btw. I was able to run the t w/o any issues this weekend at another venue with the transponder on my rear shock tower. http://i1190.photobucket.com/albums/z455/tommy911t/EB792D7B-E7B9-407D-BB67-91CEF41E88B7-223-00000047CB77E70B.jpg Gonn...

Not sure on the loop depth. But they do have house transponders and it is a first class track, so I would assume not too deep. Thanks for the replies. I am going to keep the two smaller transponders in my b4 and 44 and get a third with three tabs velcroed for any tubs I may be racing that day. Im pu...
