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

I am trying to make space for things that are more interesting. What is more interesting? Some of my projects seems become less interesting when they just keep breaking , or keep needing parts. As far as what is more interesting is the build and learning new things. It enjoyed learning about how to...

Have already made good progress on an alloy chassis for this one. Will post when completed.

Just received the Team Orion 2S Shorty Pack (6200 Graphene LiPo, big thanks to hobbyfactory.fi for quick service!), so did a quick weight balance check with laydown and battery position maxed to front + Robitronic Razer Ten 4000kV motor. Test was done without ESC and Receiver and without rear bumper...

JRX2 Wow, that looks like it was attacked by Spiderman! 🤣 That plastic rear wheel nut does seem like a JRX2 indicator. It came with a stick radio? All I can say is that it came well wrapped. :wink: You are both correct in that it is a Losi. It´s a Jrx Pro. Not many of those around over here in Swed...

OK, so I got lucky again. Around a week ago a member of one of the Fb groups I frequent pointed me towards an eBay auction which he suspected might be of interest to me..... it was! The sale detailed an MMS-machined RC10 which, if you have read my thread on 'The Concept Car 4wd' you will recognise t...

Along with my recent MMS car score, this shell was included hidden within the pile of bits. It was obviously painted but never used as it still needs trimming. When i first saw it i thought it wasn't finished and stuffed it into my bag, but upon closer inspection realised it was the finished article...

Did a little work on this one. New steering blocks, axles, and springs from RJ Speed. Swapped the servo to the Tower System 2000 that I intend to use, along with the correct Kimbrough servo saver and some Yeah Racing servo washers. The ball studs are Tamiya 5mm balls with 2mm shanks with low frictio...

You've always got such cool vehicles, stories and information. Thanks for sharing! Yes, this tasty pair are quite special indeed. After a little digging... the mystery 'VF8' ESC turned out to be what was marketed as a 'Penn Models ESC'... on sale from 1984 - 1986. The infancy of the FET era. Penn M...

11.jpg 12.jpg 13.jpg 14.jpg 15.jpg Back in the day, which was slap bang in the middle of the British 'heatshrink ESC' era.... this would have almost certainly have boasted a Demon King or Proking ESC, stuck down on top of the transmission tunnel, and had a Demon red label motor powering it. These w...

Always liked the look of these myself too. It almost felt like the pre-cursor to the Optima Mid being released, and once it did the MRC was hugely overshadowed and faded from memory. That was a shame I think as this car initially showed masses of potential. I remember it actually being confused for...

I remember back in the day, after I built a Hunter for my cousin and the Galaxy for my bro...and wanted a car to best them all, I hoped for a Frog. I got The Frog for my birthday. I remember us bashing around those cars, and it seemed that Galaxy always ran and handled better than the supposedly su...

Thought I’d share a picture to the group of a Mini Mustang I had as a kid back in roughly 1989 I reckon, body was a bit different. I bought the car as a kid secondhand from a local bloke who had bought but not gotten on to well. I stripped and rebuilt the car and enjoyed using and racing at our loca...

In my initial post I really should have remembered to thank TRX-1-3 for helping me muddle through the parts and informing me what was what.... i am a total Traxxas newbie afterall. So a massive thanks for that.
