Thanks! You have to have one (?) to see how much progress made in ease of assembly was done. The throttle/brake linkage could be simpler and so the brake parts for example. In comparison to this one, the GT2 is light years ahead

Good news, managed to unscrew the stubborn screw and set gear mesh. Maxxed out and still a bit too close for my taste, 16/66 gearing. Ditched the clutch wire spring and went to leading shoes, hope it works good. Finalizing electronics setup and once I align the tires it's ready to burn some fuel. I ...

Thank you that's assuring. Work has been slow here, just topped the shocks to see if they leak and waiting on a hex drive to arrive to start disassembling.
Noticed that too, will fix it before running it

Yes it is in good condition, not perfect because of the rust and the body tucked in the lower region. I really don't know what to do except making it operational again. I'm not attached to it and I know these are a blast to drive.

Thanks you, that helps! The air in the shock is at least an inch, both front and rear so oil level is low, they will be the second set of AE shocks I rebuild so every tip counts.

That's why my google searches were unfruitful for anything rc10gt rtr before the blue pan. Got to acquire SAE tools, the L wrenches I have from the SC10 aren't enough to undo some stubborn screws, then disassembling the tranny, fixing the flywheel and refill shock bodies. Surprised to feel air in sh...

This version. the tub version was only Kit. not till the flat blue chassis did a rtr version come out. Probably got the HPI motor cheap when someone upgraded a HPI, or his shop had it cheap over say a common OS motor. But he said ran 10 minutes. I dodnt recall a version with white parts and Black a...

At last! Always wanted one of those but finding one was like winning the lottery. I have a couple of questions too. This truck ran 10 minutes and went to storage according to seller, batteries still in place caused corrosion, they took a charge and I've got everything working excluding the engine be...

Cheers Alcyon!
Yeah the more the merrier

Hey, I know it's not vintage enough but I'll try to make it worthy. Always wanted one of those since I saw a ad for a BK2 in RCCA back in 2006. They are very hard to find here and this one was not bad in the pics so I decided to grab it. I've already done some work like a proper setup and installing...

Well I don't know how dumb this will sound but being this is my first trailing arm car can anyone share how to setup this caster and bar stuff? The manual sort of falls short regarding this matter.

LOL, I always knew this place was special!

You're welcome. I'm kind of apprehensive, because I don't know what kind of performance to expect from a trailing arm suspension buggy. But it's way too cool to see it work and learning how to set it up. +1 on the Tamiya re-re, no way I would spend that much when the Scorpion is the lowest priced ki...

Cheers Dave! Working on the pics, have to figure out where to create a topic in the right section because all my cars except the Scorpion are new school. I would guess you could create a thread in the Gallery section and put pictures of your cars there, and a separate build thread for the Scorpion ...

Cheers Dave!
