XLR8 , the weather was perfect to get some sunlight pics today... Those should answer your interrogation about sunlight... https://i.imgur.com/ibY1qo7.jpg https://i.imgur.com/IbD8xUp.jpg https://i.imgur.com/1myqYs5.jpg https://i.imgur.com/EVYgUq0.jpg https://i.imgur.com/vmBLbAw.jpg https://i.imgur....

Awesome, thank you!!! Yeah, metallic paint can look a bit different depending upon light source. Again, the car is spectacular. 8) By the way, will you post a build series here for your Wild One Blockhead? Reason I'm asking is that I've found a possible error in the manual regarding the placement o...

They should be the same.

Let's not do that.

You're probably right about the plating. One benefit however is that the plating makes bearings fit nice and snug. Unfortunately, the axles are undersize so the wheels wobble. :( Tamiya crap! Anyway, I agree with you about the light cases - with their exposed interior screw bosses, they're absolute...

Here is a picture of my sons rb10 he got for Christmas going off a jump We built in the snow.

It's a pretty nice car actually. Nice that it comes with cvas as well. Not sure on any compatible parts for our old rc10's. Going to take it to the track in a couple weeks.

So what do you think of the RB10? Does it use any parts that could be adapted to fit our vintage RC10's? Its basically a B5 rear motor, with a wide chassis like a B4. Its on my want list, as Dr Joey Frankenstein has plans. Its all metric, but things can always be adapted over, shocks, CVAs (with wo...

That's an interesting decal sheet - i wasn't aware Traxxas was offering it. Back in my hot rod days (70's and 80's), I've bought parts from most of the manufacturers represented on that sheet. Really brings back memories. Anyway, here's what I'm doing for rear springs - FYI. I think they are RC10T ...

It is actually 2022.

The steering tie rods are very short and to achieve zero toe angle, they will thread into the ball cups with only a few turns. The manual instructs you to trim-off the wrench flats from the end of the ball cups making the thread engagement even less if not done properly (step 30, page 15). Apparent...

As promised, I'm documenting the step now... As usual, I started by mounting the tires on the wheels. I did not glue them, I definitely suspect they will need to be glued with the 13.5T brushless motor, but I'm not sure yet if I'll run with those wheels... I'll glue them once decided... https://i.im...

As mentioned yesterday, I had to think about a way to secure my 2 mm screws. Either by changing then by bigger screws, but the light bucket may not like this, or by setting something better with 3D parts... I designed 2 parts for this. They will enclose the regular 3mm hole in the chassis to make it...

Today was the time to get into the metal part bag B, which was opened after the dinner. Step 17 - Setting the right part of the gearbox I started to put all parts for step 17 and step 18 together on the plate and test the fitting. It moves freely on both side, and there is no issue with the washer i...

Well poo. Was playing in the snow- she is a wheelie monster. Lot of fun, lot of tumbles too. Unfortunately it’s front wheel drive now as it spat out the rear driveshaft and it’s nowhere to be found. So now we start to modify. I’m fairly certain the HPI Flux 5900kv is a bit spicy for it, but hey it’s...
