If it doesn't include a paper manual, FORGET IT! I'm OUT.

How about a qr code?

I bought 2. I’m going to hand them to my kids. They get to have the new in box experience. My oldest has no interest in driving it. Just what came with the box. My youngest wants to build it with me and run it. Hopefully there is at least one combination of esc and motor that works. I am not sure on...

I was looking over the pictures of the original trick recently and saw something I missed on my first build. https://www.reedyrace.com/ae/spotlight/pages/RC10T_Van/images/thumb.200_12.jpg The pictures are being taken on a reflective surface. The chassis is bare and as well it's drilled. Screenshot 2...

I am waiting on the airtronics 12 gold edition i ordered to keep adding to my rc10t build. This was the one used by Chris for this race.

Had a post up.
Everything is under control. Situation normal
There was a slight browser malfunction. But everything is perfectly all right now.
We're fine. We're all fine here now. How are you?

This has been a challenge to put together. My photoshop skills are not at all what I needed to make this. CarterCash100.jpg I assemembeled about 12 different pictures at different angles, sizes and resolutions to reassemble this guy. From here lets see if I can make a high rez version that I can put...

Just came in This kit overall seem to address some of the glaring issues of the 40th and the cc. It's not exactly what I would have wanted, but it at least seems like a solid and complete kit. This is a more thoughtful release. If the shocks were just anodized black instead of yellow; I wouldn't ha...

Mounting up the tool to an acrylic blank And waxing Release 2 coats of clear Eastwood 2k clear 6 paste wax 3 coats of man’s 2300 IMG_4860.jpeg Build Up Clay was used to fill the nose and tail as well as to form a bead around the chassis The width of the nose and tail were widened to that the tooling...

Have not been documenting, Technique This technique seems ok for my skill level. I cast what I am calling a fiberglass slipper. It conforms to the surface well, but is still thin and flexible so it can demold without cracking like a stiffer mold would. I then make sure I can demold it, then reinforc...

It's the 10L, DS, TC3, etc body posts that are now rare and expensive because they are rare. Being unable to mount a body because the posts were butchered is frustrating. No I'm not currently in need of posts, but I've passed up some otherwise nice cars because of mangled and missing body posts. TC...

For mold making tomorrow 3 payers of paste wax applied 1 layer of mans 200 wax Need to apply 1 more layer of mans 200 2 layers of mans 2300 do NOT forget to put release on BOTTOM of mold Spray release on bag. Coat mold with 1 layer of epoxy and let set till tacky use alcohol to clean brushes follow ...

Release Added mans 200 2300 and parafilm Layup Did 2 coats of epoxy on chassis then added reinforcement The thin layer of fiberglass satin weave was not comfortable enough for what I was doing, First coat 15 ml First coat 15 minutes IMG_4960.jpeg Second 20 2nd 20 IMG_4961.jpeg The resin was pooling...

Great test results. Learned a few things as well it is going to be a useful result. IMG_5007.jpeg The chassis was resin light. The vacuum held, but the resin from the top did not diffuse to the outside layers. The cosmetic effect of the 3 piece wasn’t great. There were lots of orphan strands of carb...

IMG_5046.jpeg This is rigid and impossibly light. Cosmetically it’s going to need a few hours of clean up but it should be just fine for my oldest who wants to make his rc10t as a model and not a running car. I’m not sure if it’s the switch in resin, design or better technique. I think I may trim i...
