Changed some things up, wasn't happy with the steering setup, went with Tamiya DF-02 C-Hubs and steering arms which gave much more area for the dogbones to ride and allowed full steering both ways. Kyosho Scorpion rear axles ride up front with with the 12mm hex adapter....got a super trick set if wh...

Ultimitely .... the truck was too fast/powerful for it's own good. With traction on "not-snow-covered-ground" it quickly started breaking parts. It started stripping the pegs off the wheels and I had to make my own pegs by putting 3mm nuts and bolts with spacers in of all the wheels. Suspe...

I first saw an ad for the SG Coyote in January 1986 and thought it looked interesting. I then promptly forgot about it until 1988 when I read about John Schweitzer's modified two speed Coyote in Dirt and Track number four. I was thoroughly impressed and vowed that one day I would own one. Fast forwa...

I don't like to think that either but they ARE here. They usually out themselves like ASA did with the rc10 book so many years ago. I'm still banned from his ebay auctions from my comments here .

Thanks Gav, the post is rock solid now. All Coyotes are afflicted with the dreaded giant single wheel bearing disease, which allows massive amounts of wheel wobble and more as the bearing wears. Here's my solution. Machine double bearing holders from Acetal with a total width of 6.95mm. Instead of o...

Hello. As said in my presentation I put some photos of my RC10 CE which spent 20 years in its box in the garage. It is a model with the 6-gear gearbox, bearings everywhere, a ROBBE ECO 2-WAY 27Mhz AM radio, standard 27-turn YOKOMO motor, and a homemade electronic speed variator based on a plan from ...

Started my afternoon with the radiator on my desk... I simplified it a bit. https://i.imgur.com/0vI9WkX.jpg For the small story, there was a radiator bag in the box of the Nichimo Spirit FF and Vantage FF... It included 3 parts. The radiator, the plate going between the chassis and the skid plate wh...

So whilst my CAD effort wasn't bad and I guess I was getting there very slowly but surely, however thankfully my buddy Wade Skelton was taking an interest and was soon onboard on track. He got the bug with the PB Mid Ace and we had a fair few discussions on the concept. Wade over in Texas built a fe...

By 2018, I finally got around to putting a new body for the Super-Stocker.... about time since it had never had anything but a used one on it. Unknown body (I got in a parts-lot), I think it's a pro-line Tundra body for the t-maxx 2.5 if the writing on the bag it came in is to be believed. It came w...

So, I havent been super active here, but lately decided to teach myself 3D modeling and learning how to print (again, being a bit stubborn and trying to muscle through it). But once a 'part' I designed and printed fits a car, I've outsourced some quality prints to be made. Some XX, some RC10, some P...

I've been away from the forum for a while - but not vintage RC. Evil social media has replaced our forum traffic, and I myself have fallen victim. BUT - I like documenting my crazy ideas here - so here is one. A white parts XX buggy. Not super rare prototype parts, but freshly designed and 3d printe...

"and I myself have fallen victim"

Come back home

Accurate scales are getting really out of hand lately.

I made the HB faster tonight because now it has a "Sport Tuned" motor. Don't know what this means, but it must mean sportier somehow. The can is ground at the edges, and it is up against the body, but it fits! The body actually centers, although as seen, literally resting on the motor. The...
