So excited yesterday when it arrived. Immediately opened it. All seals intact, but...shock oil everywhere!! A lot pooled up in the end of box where it has soaked up into the box. Spent this evening wiping all the bags, chassis and body with Dawn to remove the oil. I'm not very happy. The body is lik...

Thanks for the info. Although, I can't say I'm disappointed that a Cole can won't fit in my 1/10 pan car.

Im way confused on 540 vs 550 size motors and the power output of each and hope you can help! My questions are based on me and a friend wanting to build a 1/10 straight line top speed car. Here are some specs we found on a couple 540 and 550 size novak ballistic motors: Novak 540 4.5 turn kv=9000 wa...

I see its relatively easy to find an ESC capable of handling 8s for trucks/buggies etc. But I'm not finding any 550 motors capable of handling 8s without going to a heli or plane motor. Any suggestions? I'm trying to build a horizontal missle!

Go through the program on the card and it has no reverse even when it is selected and the controller calibrated. Was the brake working right? Often, the throttle channel must be reversed. However, with no fan operation, it definitely sounds like something is amiss. I've always had great luck with H...

This is definately one of my favorites. I need to buy a new gear cover too as the one I had was second hand

Beautiful truck dude. I recently bought a vintage one myself.

'Aluminum' chassis...? Fastnag also forgot to mention I work at a metal fab./metal finishing company, so between the two of us we have access to get metal cut and anodized to our liking. Some of the white parts came from an early Cadillac RC10 I bought over a year ago. We had several ideas on what ...

Spectacular collection. I'm impressed and jealous.
Maybe someday, I'll some awesome cars or trucks to show off, but in the meantime, I'll just admire yours.

I would like to show you all my custom aluminum chassis spare parts build. My great friend/mentor, Fastang, assisted in this build, with parts he shared with me. He works at a water jet company that made it possible to cut this chassis. Together, we worked tirelessly to create this perfect TQ10 spar...

I don't know a lot about the RC10GT. Is this essentially a GT with buggy arms and bulkhead?

When I read the title I was thinking to myself "not if you smoked it like I did mine!!!" I had mine hooked up properly tho. I was in the garage function testing it, doing slow circles, burnouts, brake checks, etc when all of a sudden it started to sizzle and then the smoke poured out. It g...

I bought a re-re thru Tower. I convinced myself I wouldn't get one as it was on "backorder", therefore bought one from a hobby shop, and a few days later the Tower re-re showed up! I built one, but what to do with the 'extra" one. An active member on this forum corrupted me into this ...

I'm pumped at how this will turn out. I'm drawn to it like a moth to a bug light.

I have my eBay acct and PayPal set... Now I just need to win the lottery.

Thanks for the warm welcome and advice!
