.....working on the rear.... (I'm Greek....that's the best part, workin on her rear....ah yeah babe) Wish I had some gold and silver countersunk washers.....could always throw those on later though. I think I'm gonna get an aluminum tranny case for this one down the road.....probably sooner than later

Yeah, that's what it looks like.... My first kit, the top shaft was machined wrong, and the b4 replacement worked fine.....Now it was the exact opposite. Makes me wonder if I order a couple of spares , what I'm gonna get. If they're gonna be good or not. ............... Being that the last two steal...

Someone with experience explain this to me..... The worlds car has been having problems with the top shaft .....we know this. So, I ordered a kit directly from AE for $200....and when I ordered I asked them to send me a replacement b4 top shaft .....which they did...(they're customer support is grea...

Now to the refresh .....

Like I said, the plan is to make a shelfer out of that car and use it's old chassis for a beater.....

............

......now that the pizza's out of the way.....back to business....

When I got back into rc last fall , I pulled out my rc10 fom the 80's which I never really got to enjoy as a kid and for whatever reason, I got drawn to rc10s. .... When I first found this site, it was like a wealth of info ......but the one thing I didn't get, was the "shelf queen" . My p...

Just tallied all of my expenses for this rebuild. Absurd. $1035.49 ....... I have it all in an Excel spreadsheet ....... LOL... I just saw this......Earlier today I was thinking to myself about my recent rc spending and was thinking how it would've been nice to actually see all my individual purcha...

LOL
.....yeah......hopefully she runs anything BUT the same.

................

Don't hold your breathe mah brotha.

Edit: I don't want that to get misinterpreted as if I'm implying that the part won't get there.....cause it will...and fast.

As far as it "sorting out the issues" ........Sure....but only one of the issues.

Got her back together.....
Hopefully she runs the same...

Got my parts in yesterday.....Maybe I'll get to it tonight...

Still haven't heard back about the bellcrank.....I'm starting to think those are some callous brothers, saw the sob story, smiled n pressed delete.

I came across those yesterday and they were titled "new" on AE's page ......,not that I really know what I'm talking about....

The kit shocks say .89 ....
Wierd that it's the same part #

Looks like the Worlds car detonator is about to get released.....
....n I noticed AE just came out with front .71 v2 threaded shock bodies.

yeah, the wires are lookin a lil ridiculous....Gonna have to tightn em up. i ordered new jc bellcranks but would like to get that nut so i have an extra full set that i can use. thats my 3rd set in a couple months...Thats almost a hundred bucks alone....add the carbon fiber, nose/wing tubes, fin tur...

Kyosho Syncro kt 201 is the remote to be exact.... Yeah, I'm kind of surprised that there wasn't more breakage. The shock tower, arms, shocks etc seem to all be alright. I got lucky that the screws in the bellcranks sheered off , along with the nose tubes having enough give in them where the chassis...
