Re: RC10 - A Stamp Rebuild - Chipped Idler Gear

Thanks!
I believe early 6-gears came with 32dp spurs.

Re: RC10 - A Stamp Rebuild - Chipped Idler Gear

All of the steering parts are cracked in some place. One set is original, the other looks like an early repro, the texture is rough. I've always wondered if the non-threaded portion of the ball ends ( just under the hex ) tends to add additional stress to the holes that tend to crack. At least I do...

Re: RC10 - A Stamp Rebuild - Chipped Idler Gear

This seems like a good application for a roll pin. It could be pressed through the hole then cut with an abrasive wheel slightly proud of the ring mounting face. No threading necessary and the pin's cylindrical shape would provide a good fit to drive the notch in the ring. Anyway, Jim was a master a...

Re: What are your plans with your re-release RC10T?

I have some brush motors coming soon as well, starting with 12x1 and 17x1, they will be chrome can instead of the black though. Hopefully will have them available by the time the next big release happens. They will be $19.95 just like the good old days OH, OH, OH. I want, I want, I want! Could you ...

Re: The RC Corvette in - (1988) The Dead Pool - Clint Eastwood

Just like other paint types, PC paint will adhere to almost anything - plastic, wood, metal, etc. For example, I use PC paint for ABS plastic exterior trim parts when I need a perfect color match to the body shell. PC paint isn't glossy so I will apply clear over these parts so they will better matc...

Re: The RC Corvette in - (1988) The Dead Pool - Clint Eastwood

This “Spaz Stix” chrome I used for a bumper is pretty reflective even on the painted side. The label is lost and gone but looking at the bottom of the cans I’m 99% sure it’s a Spaz Stix product. The movie car wheels are a dull aluminum metal color, and then the AE asc6192 chrome knockoffs are brigh...

Re: RC10 Classic 40th anniversary

Looks great and I agree with your comments.
The 40th is very well made; parts are clean, precise and beautifully finished.
I was reluctant to order one at first but now I'm happy I did.
Mine is #2045. :D

Re: So, what did you do RC today?

Well, not just today but over the past several days.
I've taken a big step toward resolving my runner RC storage dilemma.
Most of them are now hanging from the walls in the garage.

It's nice to finally reclaim some closet and attic space. :D

Re: The dog thread

Our Audrey passed away tonight. We were getting ready for bed, going out to potty. She turned around to come back in and stood in front of my wife and just passed out. Couldn't get he breathing again. Took her to the emergency vet, but she was gone. Having her cremated. I'm so very sorry for your l...

Re: RC10 - A Stamp Rebuild - Chipped Idler Gear

... This does look like the best idea to lock the rings permanently, it would be easier to mark the hubs and file them, than it was to drill and CA them; and with the D-rings the pin or set screw can't fall out or deform over time. Seriously considering doing this, by leaving the set screw on the o...

Re: RC10 - A Stamp Rebuild - Chipped Idler Gear

Not familiar with Jammi'n products so I had to look it up.
This looks like a well-engineered kit:

In a way, it seems a shame that the Stealth tranny has rendered it obsolete.

Re: Masami's CAT

I assumed Masami's CAT would be the holiest of holies within Schumacher. On the contrary, the current crew seems to know very little about it. I guess that is racing: if it isn't winning races now, it is just an old car. The video is still good to watch, as it gives a closeup view of the actual cha...
