Enjoy!!!

Here you go. These should make things easier. Look at either the dirt oval tires or the truck tires. They are both offered in 3/16" pin drive. The truck tires are taller so they would be better for a speed run. http://tmrcracing.com/ WOW check this out...they do custom sizing as well! THIS is ...

Custom sized foam tires ordered! Can't wait to test them out. Car is gonna fly!

Pretty cool. I'm doing my Mid Motor top speed runner...so much fun...

Thanks Rod. Next up is a mid-motor 4WD RC10 8) I'm down for helping out any way I can...This is what I want to do... Should be pretty easy, the hard part of the 4wd conversion is in the front of the car, and all that will be the same between the rear and mid motor versions :wink: Just saying! :) I ...

very cool mike. it hauls ass! the mini mags look awesome too. Thanks! Definitely fun! It's nice to see the Lethal Weapon is holding up after all these years. Does it ever sound or feel like the belt is slipping with all that HP and no slipper? It's always sounded perfect. ZERO issues! I do remember...

This set up is about as stiff as the standard RC10 without a trans brace.

Right Click - Save As! lol Pretty cool! Thanks for sharing...

Been a while but a few updates... As cool as the McAllister lowering kit was from back in the day I've always loved shock towers - so I had some custom pieces made out of CF...LOVING it and it handles great. Changed around the electronics too - low pro servo allowed me to change it up and move a bit...

Thanks everyone! Better pics of the car completed. Ordered some custom sized foam tires too. Will update with pics and results when they come in. Back to being cold and rainy here so won't be for a while. http://www.mikemartinelli.com/albums/My-Car-Pics/RcCars/2014/OIN-Mid-Motor-RC10/IMG_4274.jpg ht...

Yeah super cool! I've been wanting a 3d printer for some time now but I'm spoiled at how well the shapeways parts look. Yours look decent though! Maybe you can give us some insight on the whole 3d printing process. I read so much on failures and clogs and stuff so I'm curious as to how frustrating i...

That will be bad ass!

What if i said mid-motor as well? Lol.

Pipe dream... the trans isnt configured for that but ill certainly try. Need to find a used stealth first.

Can't wait. Im planning a 4x4 monster RC10T.

I am happy to say I took it out for a blast the other day and everything held up. I was spinning off the line so I didn't get a good hook to fully test the dog bones but so far so good. The slicks are still ballooning too much for my liking so I think I'll go with foam. It's really fast though. Hope...

Thanks guys. Stupid weather here still...ughhh.
