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

Went racing last Saturday. Had lots of trouble. Diff bolt broke during practice. Bought a new bolt kit and rebuild the diff. Bolt backed out during the first qualifier. Apparantly I did something wrong on setting the diff., I also didn't break it in at all. I did manage to finish the 2 qualifier sev...

I don't remember doing it but we are talking 20 years ago.

Hahahaha!! I get to bust your balls and use rolleyes :roll: and tell you to use the search feature :lol: http://www.rc10talk.com/viewtopic.php?f=38&t=27135 Technically yours is a Team Car, but thats just a different chassis color and shock coating. That thread should help :wink: That weird the ...

Any thoughts on shock setups?
Weight oil? Springs?
I haven't race in over 20+ years so I have no idea what the track even looks like.
It's in the upper 90's though so I'm thinking the shock oil needs to be a little heavy.

They came from Lett, who's they are I don't know, I thought they were his.

Spent all day and got it back together. Going to go race it this weekend.

I believe you may be right.
The car is right out of the box with Lett's turnbuckles.

Picked up a few things from Victory in Pasadena, Texas.
Russell is a good guy.
Also have stuff coming from Avid, Tower, etc...

scr8p wrote:yup, but you'll need new bearings to run those. 3/16" x 3/8" flanged (as long as you have the stock hub carriers).

Sweet, this site is awesome.....

I'm going to Avid's site next, Thanks a lot.....

Is this the right ones?

Rear Wheels?

It's not that MIP doesn't make stub axles to fit 1/4" bearings it's that you can only buy modern 2.2" wheels that fit the 1/4" axle from JC Racing in the UK. The Thunder Tiger Phoenix BX-II rear wheels require 3/16" stub axles. I understand now, Thanks. looks great , if it were ...

Now that's what I call helpful. Thank You Smaller I.D. bearings to fit the cvd's/stub axles right? MIP doesn't have direct fit for the 1/4" bearings? It already has 2.2 wheels but I could definitely use more. I will be running Lipo's but moving the box is no big deal. Any thoughts on a modern s...

Measured them, they are .250.

This look right?

I would like to make it a runner.
I am working on learning the new technology.
I figured this site would be the place for the car itself.
1 of the drive axles is worn is there replacements/upgrades available?

My old RC10ce I believe.
It's time for it to run again but I could use some help getting the "right" parts.
