RC10Talk - The Net's Largest Vintage R/C Community

I'm not allowed to go to California. My wife says my big mouth will start an incident.

I hear that! Coming from Idaho I gotta make sure and peel off my political bumper stickers and pull the AK out of the back window 🤣

I just grow my beard...

From the pic, it looks like it is on the outside. Like, if I were looking down on it. I think most of them are painted underneath so they look shiny. I do anyway. I may be missing something myself, since I'm usually the idiot in the crowd. Don't try...

The top 4 in the votes are pretty close! Any one of them could walk away with it this month and get the coveted star badge!

Nice build!

That is the first race grade RC vehicle we owned. It was by younger brother's, he still has it.

Now, doesn't it technically need the retrofit XX Transmission to be a Pro SE ?

The ProSE initially came with the LRM transmission...

The Jcar chassis used 1/12 AE front arms if I remember correctly.

still going strong-- had to make a new front tower-- been loaning it out to friends who want to try off-road outdoor.

picked up a used Hobbywing Pro and put that 8T delta Muchmore in it-- plenty of power, now! :D :D

New pictures PLEASE!

Awesome. Would like to see some pictures of that JRX2. I remember that rivalry when we were kids but I can barely remember what it looks like. The RC10 image has been imprinted in my mind I guess lol.

Tried my hardest on this one, this is the first driver I've done. Left the eyes flesh colored, can't see them without magnification anyways.

This was also the first time that I used warm water and a small bit of soap on the surfaces, to...

added 5 new associated cars to the family all with 3d printed chassis

B4 with B6 front end and Yokomo shocks. Ran it at the track with different tires. Really not bad. Full range of motion. Ran the middle holes on the arms and it was pretty much back to normal for this car.

Hell is an accurate description. :evil: Great progress in the last 4 days. I suspect the body will be dust if it ever arrives.

Is that 4 Clods, or are there multiples of each color? Very cool collection either way.

3 clods and the Kyosho USA 1 electric version. I

I've heard there are issues with the way the D block is mounted on the B7, because the D block in the B7 is mounted to the transmission vs. the chassis in the B6. So I guess that causes potential issues with the rear arms having more than normal...

The bionic eyes and Wolverine claw are an awesome combination. Only gripe is that the magnification starts to give me a headache. But repeatedly cutting in the same score line is something I thought was impossible to do. The magic is real.

How do you ship to Australia or New Zealand from the US? Do you just staple the package to a wombat or something? Apparently a couple of guys, presumably both named Bruce , want my Storm 2000.

Don't make me come over there....

As well as caster, those changed everything at once for me, camber and toe included, depending how they were set, whether more forward or rearward.

Here's a picture of the 2 kits. As mentioned already, the difference is the length of the arms. The second picture tries to show that difference as best as I could.

Well obviously I am a Brimod guy, so an easy one for me. Nothing beats their look I don’t think, and the bleed screw and threaded spring adjustment is fantastic. They do leak though (although that problem has now been resolved with a subtle mod)....

Interesting behavior on the Futaba 3PV, but it is FHSS/S-FHSS/T-FHSS, and a much newer Tx.

I'm still in the nostalgia phase of this hobby, and am using a 24 year old Tx that originally came with 27 MHz FM, because that's what I used with the old...

Short answer:

1/8th scale

Long answer:

The Nitro Thunder King was advertised as 1/8th scale and shared the same 14 inch wheelbase as the electric Thunder King and Baja King World Scale trucks... which, like 1911Colt mentioned, never had a...

New lid got painted for it from local painter, Dominators Airbrushing.

The Rear wing looks great but sadly it's not good for racing, spent most of it's time at the last club race bent the wrong...

Got the Lunch Box chassis done today. It made me aware of things I had not done correctly on the Midnight Pumpkin, the shocks have a shorter-body pair that goes in the back.

Need to lengthen the ESC wires on the Lunch Box, and both of these...

There was still a few things to do on this car to call it done.

Led connexion was done in the afternoon, after having a small issue with teh ESC and motor : once calibrated the motor would not run. I finally found the cause of the issue being the...

It turns out it's a short wheelbase after all , I've just never seen a gold one before :oops:

Lock the diff. On a Lunchbox or hopper, the pros outweigh the cons.

I think that you can download the plans online and print it yourself.

?

sounds like you need to shorten up to the 1mm gap mentioned above by RJ with the idle screw. You have a picture of inside the carb at idle?

For one, I had the brakes adjusted wrong, so that definitely factored into it. I'll try...

The original one was my first kit in the 80's. I think the only way to fix the rear suspension is to swap out completely to the Super G shocks which was not really that much of an upgrade to be honest. That's why I never did it.

Been a few weeks since I've updated, but that's because I've been racing this car!

I raced it on carpet two more times since the last post and even had a chance to take it out for a practice day on dirt! I made it out to Pit Stop Hobbies for the...

Welcome aboard , nice pair to restore there , it may be RC10Talk but just about anything that's old and RC is very welcome here :D

I have been poking around enough to realize this is a great forum lol. Unfortunately I realized it while searching...

Lengthening the motor wires, and the 1060 ESC wires took some time, the leads were too short.

Ready for the body and paint.
