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

Not sure if this is what RJ is talking about. But in a new car they are quiet, smooth, comfortable, reliable. In a car like my chevette it is going to be loud, uncomfortable, probably not that smooth. And the light weight is going to let me feel a lot more of the hp than the 3400lb car the engine c...

New cars give you a disconnected feeling and while fast don't "feel" fast, the sensations are dummed down. I don't know, I'm having a blast with my 2014 Camaro SS. I got it way sideways over the weekend. :lol: Turn off the nannies on the console and you'll get that old muscle car feeling....

Just placed an order with Lunsford for more pricey titanium screws, they're totally worth it though. This weekend I'm going to finish up the body and the firewall and then make the two remaining fairings next to the driver. I'll put up a tutorial on bending up metal, might help someone that's intere...

That would be awesome if I could find some tires like that that fit. I've been looking and found nothing so far. I'm probably just going to stick with the setup I have now. If I find something later on I'll switch up.

I'd buy these and mod them if I knew they would fit. http://www.ebay.com/itm/Yokomo-834B-RPS-SE-Aluminum-wheels-Custom-Works-Advanced-Eng-Mini-Mags-Btype-/231885183411?hash=item35fd6f19b3:g:cQgAAOSwAuNW7~dQ Thanx...Just had a LOL moment here. You are building a car from mostly scratch and wondering...

This thing is shaping up awesome. I like that spun aluminum look. Looks real. Just a curious question, are you going to narrow the rear tires? I think it would look killer with some period correct looking skinnies on there. I don't want to narrow the wheels on there since they're vintage. If I coul...

Wow! Fantastic collection, love the RC100.

Love that shot!

Please tell me it will be Mopar powered ? :mrgreen: Looking fantastic so far. Mopar?.... Sacrilege! :lol: It will be chevy powered like all of my cars. Actually if I could find 1/10 scale hemi valve covers it would be a mopar. I tried some 1/8 scale covers from ShapeWays and they were cartoonishly ...

Wow!!!! This has turned out to be an awesome creation. I'm almost ashamed to show off any of my crap. VERY WELL DONE!!!! Thanks, it's not that good. :P I wish I had some milling equipment and a lathe so I could make parts the way I really wanted. I've been looking at some cheaper small scale machin...

Awesome! Just to close the loop even though you have the parts you need, I also looked at a rc18 I have and it's got pretty large ball ends and cups, so no good there. Yep, I think all of those ball studs are about the same size except for the Dubros. I'm glad I found what I needed, normal buggy or...

Check it out! I picked up some film that simulates engine turned aluminum. I just wrapped the seat, really thin and easy to use film. It's overcast outside, in the sun this stuff really shines. Should look sick against the painted frame. http://i182.photobucket.com/albums/x277/Jagdgeschwader2/201609...

Wow! This would make life so easy for scratch builders. I was thinking about this very thing while i was hand filing parts this weekend. I don't imagine that thing will be cheap though.

cool, what parts are you looking at? I found some small dubro ball links, the clearish ones that use the 2-56 size link, which i think is the same as the solder fittings. They seem to fit on a ball that was closely sized to an associated ball, and only loosely on the tamiya ball end. the tamiya bal...

Some photos I took last year in Lajitas,Texas. I plan on driving back out there again this spring. I would take some pictures today if it wasn't raining. http://i182.photobucket.com/albums/x277/Jagdgeschwader2/IMG_7517_zpsdnvmyjvb.jpg http://i182.photobucket.com/albums/x277/Jagdgeschwader2/20150415_...
