Wow!! Beautiful! I'm interested by the hubs you used to mount 3 holes wheels. Is it that part: https://www.rc4less.com/product_info.php?cPath=24&products_id=164&osCsid=1e2954e316d5f2a35ba96edf609d337a ? If yes, does it fit the diff without changing anything else? It could be a good solution...

Agreed. The four bearings in rear carriers should be the only difference. If you have a pre-made bearing kit for the re-re Worlds and want to use it on the original Worlds, you'll have four extra 3/16"x3/8" unflanged bearings and be short four 1/4"x3/8" flanged bearings. Eight if...

Thanks! If it were a full-size car it would definitely be a '20 footer'. It's been straightened and cleaned up but still has quite a bit of wear and patina. But it's come a long way from where it started which is what I'm happy about.

After some cleaning, fixing, dyeing, and replacing, I finally came up with something that looks pretty decent. I bought someone's wreck off eBay a few years ago. The right side rear apparently took a good hit. The T-bar was cracked and most of the diff parts were missing including the wheel. Half th...

Really beautiful work. I'm impressed by how dedicated and talented some of you guys are to preserving these things. I like to build, tinker and hack these things while some of you (many of you actually) are modelers and real artists. Kudos!

That rust detail looks fantastic. I wish I had that kind of artistic skill. As it is I can barely keep a taped line from bleeding or apply a decal straight. Damn old eyes and hands now. lol

I dig the netting for the side windows but I vote for keeping the foggy windshield at least.

Was this a pop quiz or something? What did I win?

I'm starting to do the same, making adapters to go to/from Deans T plugs to whatever else I have since I haven't settled on One Connector to Rule Them All yet. And I need the soldering practice anyway.

Sorry, that was built and eventually sold off 25+ years ago. I wish I had it back!

Composite Craft parts always had such a certain quality to them, very much expensive but worth it for looks and finish alone. The CC RC10 Worlds I built years ago was arguably the nicest car I ever built. So nice I couldn't bring myself to actually drive it. lol I never knew of a truck version exist...

Sounds like you have your hands full! Don't worry about this place. We'll behave ourselves. Go do your thing and take care of business.

Yes, I'm sure we're all familiar. What model RC10 exactly?

Thanks to everyone for their input!

I prefer good alkalines, for the higher voltage. However, I do avoid Duracell batteries (well known for leaking, also known as Duraleaks). Funny, I've had the exact opposite experience and have gone strictly to Duracells in anything I want to keep that I may use infrequently. They probably all leak...

Yes, with the distinct lack of room on the 144001, I figured trying out a Dynamite Tazer Twin would be a good choice from a packaging standpoint. And it's red, too. lol
