Little bit more work today, cutting up a perfectly good glass top plate. Jigging around to fit the "super shorty" Lipos, sourced some mounting blocks from MST Short battery holder set 210451, Cut and shut it to suit the shorter pack, this also clears the chain/belt on the bottom of the cha...

Yokomo motor in box, Twin turbo 360 for my unstarted YZ-10 project

Hi all, new to AE but have found an RC10 graphite on a site here and cant make out the transmission.
Did these have the 6 gear or Stealth transmission?
Cheers

Used Airtronic's caliber 3P on 27Mhz, this was the legal frequency in New Zealand back in the day, the USA 72Mhz was used for CB Radios, came with NIcad pack, AM and FM modules, factory manual, box, a couple of receivers, and a lot of dust.

Alloy threaded shocks, 4 sets, Grabbed these off Hobby King, they did a knock off buggy bz444 a while back and the shocks were smooth and leak free, very nice action. Couldn't resist grabbing a few last sets on closeout for future projects, When i grabbed them they were $11 NZ dollars (about $6.50 U...

Finally had some deliveries today, stuff is taking so long to arrive, the hard to find 32/22 idler came in from Spain, this will allow me to run a 17T pinion, and the Kyosho gas car pulleys. Like the look of them, and same brand is nice too. There is a shaft discrepancy as the Rocky shaft is 5mm, th...

Battery Cradle mk2, tricky to fit the "super shorty" LiPo above the chassis so that it clears the belt underneath it, stuff all clearance, found this touring car cradle which I can cut and shut for the correct width and it elevates the cell tight up under the top plate, about 7.5mm clearan...

Low profile servos, found these on Ali Express, set up for Touring Cars, but i do like the low profile, was finding it hard to justify the money for the latest futabas etc, rather buy more cars. These are brushed, metal gear, low profile, not bad spec's, and under $20 New Zealand, or approximately $...

Finally got the platinum shock rod ends I have been waiting for (shock end" part "M), weird male thread units. and some washers and o rings to rebuild them, as you can see the wear on the rod ends meant they popped off the ball ends too easily. Hopefully i can sort this now, then paint and...

Had a back up HDD drive recovered last week and stumbled across my old buggies from February 2006, I was renting while I was building a house and they both got stolen from my Garage. They never took the transmitters, cells etc, obviously just some opportunist kids walking past. Often wonder where th...

Looks like a kyosho optima rear end, and a mid front gearbox, belt conversion? Not sure about the arms, out drives look like early YZ-10? But steering uprights and steering knuckles are Kyosho optima /mid era.
Anyone else?

Looking Awesome, Well Done

Grabbed this HB Cyclone D4 off a local auction site in New Zealand, grabbed it for the transponders and brushless set up but the very generous seller also "threw in" a tamiya touring car with another transponder. only paid $120USD for both, got a mate whos two sons will soon be racing them...

Yep, every now and again you come across a true gentleman when trading, also scored an original Losi JR'S Choice motor on the same site last night looks good condition for my JRX-Pro rebuild, not as cheap $80NZD but period correct. Turns out you can still buy the rebuild kits for those original losi...
