Re: brushless setup for rc10???

It has a lot to do with what type of track/terrain you will be running on. I run my rc10 graphite with a stealth on a local indoor short course track. It has lots of jumps and turns and my 3900kv Reedy is more than enough for that track. Most times im at 1/2 throttle at best. Lower kv will give more...

Re: Are White JConcepts Rulux White??

What do you need to do to run Rulux wheels on the front of an RC10? I assume you need the usual 2.2 upgrades to run the rear rims.

Re: Resurrecting/Modernizing Your Vintage R/C's Electronics

Finally after many hours and many more dollars it's alive. It's sooo much faster than before and I'm still trying to get everything dialed in and figured out. The tires started to wear within 10 min. on the pavement so I put on some old foam onroad tires for testing. I geared it 73/32 and it's reall...

paint job v1.0

First time painting one of these(the right way). What a pain masking the inside of the shell, also the fact that your first coat is the on eyou see is tough as there's no touch up. Came out pretty good all things considered.

Re: overspray

I ended up using mcquires scratchX auto scratch remover and it worked real well with a bit of elbow grease. I think it would do a good job of generally polishing up a shell after it gets a bit worn as well.

Re: overspray

Thanks. I'll try a few different things on some scrap pcs. The overspray is very light so I think I should be able to make something work. Lesson learned...leave the film on till the end

overspray

I just finished a paint job on my car and got a little overspray on the top of the body. Is there a way to remove the overspray without dulling the finish? I used Tamiya spray paint.
