BC5EE341-1543-44E7-9E7B-20F43533D08F.jpeg In my search for rc10 wrecks I found this. It looks to be unfinished but in mint condition. I got it for around what I have been picking up rc10t’s for. It’s listed as an rpm rc10b ultra molded. Where can I find more information about this? I see a few buil...

It looks like it may have been built at one point but it was never ran from the looks of it. There are no threads cut in the shock mounts. Though there are threads where the ball joints were installed.

FE6B90FB-EB32-4B9F-8B80-6E2DEF8CED52.jpeg So far so good. I put release on the mold and was and added the bottom 2 layer of carbon fiber. I ran out of the cosmetic carbon fiber so the tracers are visible. The 2 layers together are between .5 and .6 mm depending on where I measure. It looks like I h...

So, I've always had this youtube idea to give a pro driver an outdated or "crappy" engineered car and see just how they would fare around a race track. Part of the test is to see their driving skills and their mechanical ability to improve an outdated design on a race track. Kind of like ...

I really like the paper original manual. Have to have one to read.

Thanks to a tip from juicedcoupe. The Traxxas front spindle and axle fit the b4 caster blocks I was using with very minimal modification. E98CE0F8-397A-4D73-B8B9-DAA928865DF2.jpeg This is going to help with keeping the wheels on the truck. I was using b4.2 front axles and they don’t have enough thre...

Did you get to meet Richard? Yes and he was extremely generous with his time. He took about 1 1/2 hours out of his day to show me the factory and the process of parts creation from mold creation though packaging. That process is intense. I also got to hear a lot of stories about the early days in r...

So in some random notes: All of the RPM parts to this day are made of Nylon6. (not 66 nor glass reinforced) Same as associated parts. Apparently there are a number of additives that can be mixed in with the plastic as it is injected. RPM is using an additive that allows for better abrasion and impac...

So I have been buying off ebay for almost 20 years now and recently have noticed people listing rc parts intentionally leaving damage out of the ad and when you question it the blame is always placed on the buyer. Just not cool all together I've been running into that as well. Photos that kina show...

It’s strong and light but not as pretty as I had hoped for.

I have to remember to make a better template for the rear bulkhead screws.
The holes I drilled were 1.7mm to tall.

A blue pan rc10gt This was just under 50 shipped and seemed part complete.

I think I’m going to clean it up, use my junk drawer and make this an egt

So I found the lengths that will work. And I know the threads are 4-40 type. I can't seem to find the diameter anywhere. And pardon my ignorance if the diameter is implied with the 4-40 thread type designator. Will they fit the Gen I Traxxas rod ends? I'll sign off with the ol' "thanks in adva...

I'm pretty sure this was dyed blue.

You would need to change the steering and camber links to longer ones.
