Re: Asked RPM a question

That's interesting. I've been wondering about the possibility of re-releasing parts too. I just haven't gotten around to asking anyone. Just think about how quick it is for Associated to stamp out a chassis. Aluminum sheet goes in, a few dies later and presto!! A brand new chassis. Who here wouldn't...

Battery Bugs? (dischargers)

Random topic I know but... Would anyone know where I might be able to find a Gecko discharger ? These don't seem to be made anymore or at least they're not available in the paces I've checked. I've always known these things as "battery bugs". I have a red one and a yellow one that are litt...

Any RC18 Forums or Fans?

I'm seriously considering adding an RC18 to my collection. (buggy or truck) I just think these are super cool. Tiny and 4wd sounds like a lot of fun. I'd like to hear from other people who have these. I'm wondering if I should get a new one or get one off eBay. Buggy or truck? What hop-ups/upgrades ...

Posting Links

I don't know if anyone else has this problem but when people post links (especially those long eBay links) it makes the window so wide that I'm always scrolling over to read the messages. This isn't a big deal but it's a pain. If you use the second option on the URL button you can post a link like t...

Anyone want those A&L nuts? They're listed on ebay with only 2 hours or so remaining and no bids. I probably should have said something earlier. :lol:

I've found a lot of stuff on Tower's site. Most of it says "In Stock" but I haven't ordered anything yet to test that. If I could fifure out how to share my wishlist I'd post that. Here's something I've been wishing someone would do: How about a webpage with links (and prices, availability...

More Stuff

I've been cleaning out my box of RC10 stuff. I'm not sure what I got the A&L nuts for but they've never been opened. Do you think I should bother putting them on eBay? I think I've seen the front shock tower on here before. I don't recall who made it. I had this on my old RC10 for quite awhile w...

Milled Chassis?

Which RC10 came with a milled chassis?
Were there any differences between the milled and non-milled cars otherwise??

I've been looking for a decent Worlds buggy for a long time but they're getting scarce. I'm not really looking for a milled chassis. Just curious.
But if I find one for cheap... :lol:

Lubing Tranny Gears?

I just rebuilt a transmission (Stealth) that came with one of my trucks.
The manual doesn't say anything about putting oil or grease on the gears. What is the common practice here? Do you just run them dry? I did notice some black dust in the case.

Thanks for your input!!

Where to shop?

Where is a good place to find new RC10 parts? (other than eBay)
I see Tower Hobbies has a lot of RC10 stuff listed including a few things I see occasionally on ebay. :roll: Are there any other retailers that have a good selection?

Tekin made an RC10 chassis?

I didn't know Tekin is(was) in the chassis business. I don't recall ever seeing this before. Anyone have info about this kit? Some big color pics would be nice. :D

It's amazing the things people will build with some aluminum sheet and too much time on their hands. ;) The front end looks like an RC10L upside-down. (mounted to the underside of the chassis instead of on top) Am I right? That poor ol' 6-gear looks kinda confused. "What am I doing here? I shou...

Nice truck. It's refreshing to see a ride with some scratches. These weren't meant to be dust collectors :lol: Who made that conversion kit? I don't think I've seen that before. The front looks pretty cool. I like the 3 mounting holes. The rear is kinda different. I'd love to see a side view without...

Just in case anyone still runs these I thought it might be nice to start a little Q&A Anyone know of a good way to get those pesky little screws out of the black idler gears? That was the worst part about those trannys. (IMO) The best upgrade was probably the sealed bearing that replaced the fel...
