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

Absolutely loving this thread already - having looked over that very race review many many times as a kid. Seeing that pciture of Jamie's RC10 brings back plenty of early racing memories for me. I just dug out and re-read the Model Cars Monthly race review from the '86 Euros having seen this. From w...

Nick said he couldn't recall about the stickers as he hadn't seen them for a looooong time either, but he was willing to have a dig and get back to me if he finds one. I have since had somebody else contact me and say they will send me this though.... :wink: 82612022_10222588909526106_86722615000873...

Adding the bumper has made a huge difference!

Looks front-end heavy without the wing now....

Really coming along quickly.

These might help with the shell replication....

This pair just arrived through the post. Pretty rare even over in the UK, dating from 86-87. If they're good enough for Jamie Booth, then they're good enough for me

Really starting to look the part now!!!! Love it.

This is something else! Awesome work. What gearing are you going for on it??? I know what i run my Silver Dot at in my 2wd so interested to see what you select. Do you know what Jamie ran with? Here's another piece of the puzzle for you - going into the post to you tomorrow 8) 83656172_3186140518080...

Another unicorn has landed in my lap... this one being a genuine loft find which was discovered whilst I was actually researching the Brimod prototype car. This 4WD car was developed by MMS over in the UK (around 12months before they developed the white MMS diffs), and was raced by Jason Varley on t...

Well a massive thanks to bluewormx for working over these Demon ProKings for me

The first one is now fully tested, re-wired and working like a dream!!

The second needs a bit more work so I will post that up when completed.

Couple of quick updates.... mock up build to check all of the parts are there, and a painstaking sticker application night.

I was half expecting a 'Readers Wives' thread when i opened this one up!

From what i gather the spur gear is attached to the outer casing of the Hydradrive, the unit itself being filled with thick viscous fluid. Various fluid thicknesses can be used to tweak the set up. Within the Hydradrive unit is some sort of impeller which is attached to the shaft. The spur turns und...

Well having hunted down three slightly different spec Demon ProKing ESC's recently I have started combing the interweb for more Demon gear to add to my small collection. Next up, I have managed to stumble upon a 1982 Demon 2C. The basic design looks to be older than God's dog, but still a pretty coo...

Whilst Iain is starting the rebuild, this absolutely epic period shot of my XL popped out of the loft yesterday. This was the day i received it - can't beat an 80's Christmas morning scene, complete with gas fire, retro TV and dressing gown! You can just about make out the early rounded grey bumper ...
