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

So having built up my Pro Radiant kit a while ago now, I have been scouring the internet trying to locate a few spares to enable me to subsequently race it on the track without having to tiptoe around.... pretty impossible as spares are super scarce as it is in the USA, let alone over in the UK wher...

I tried this with my AE parts. Used a UVA light, incandescent. This is after ~16 hours. The gear is for comparison. I'm pretty pleased. They don't seem brittle or have their strength affected in any way. I put them in a heat resistant glass over the light, and put a loosely fitted lid on. The peroxi...

Shocks are done so onto the wheels. Yoko TR32 and TF320; also found an additional set of new TR32 tires buried in my parent's basement;-)

No huge update on this. But I did find some modern tires that mimic the look of the yoke tires that Mark ran. Proline Slide Jobs.

Those are Traxxas buckles- sold in sets and also individually by length

Today I registered ultrarc.net and rc10talk.net to compliment our existing .com variants. They both redirect you to here. It's always a good idea to register the other top-level domain name extensions of your main one when available. A few of you may remember that way back in 2002 I had an R/C monst...

A little more progress last night and today.

If you think you know little about Yokomo, I know far far less. Almost nothing. However, the motor, you might need to talk to coxbros1 as he has a couple of them. Brushes may be difficult to find. The Funco/Bolink body, Dan is the Man. Sabulatech has numerous Bolink molds and https://store.sabulatec...

Nice early hopped up 834B
Pre RPS SE car.
Lot's of Delta influence.
Kyosho CB88 shocks, much bigger than Scorpion.
Many rare parts

I hope you plan to restore it as is, just clean it up and fix broken parts.

Duckhead, check your pm's.

Slot car brushes should fit the Checkpoint motor - most any slot car track should be able to help you.

I do believe the reason for the two holes in the motor plates backside is for tooling, to hold it in the jig while the press comes down to create the two bends. Basically the two holes were for dowels to hold the plate firmly while the press comes down and bends the motor plate at 90 degrees and als...

Just saw posted on Facebook that one of the legends has passed
