RC10Talk - The Net's Largest Vintage R/C Community

I went ahead and added the Classic (P# 1987) Turnbuckles based on the Lunsford Web Site..

I don't think I've ever assembled an rc10 front end that didn't have tension on the tubes. The holes in the nose plate are higher than those in the tub and the logo area of the nose plate isn't bent back far enough to compensate.

I really like this thread 8) . Really nice builds. Regarding the T2 chassis i have found that there is two types. One is clean (no holes) out the sides except for the antenna mount and the other has two extra holes on the left side i think (seen from the rear looking forward, bottom down) Is this fi...

I tried taking a few pictures of updates made to both trucks but wasn't happy with them, so I'll post this instead. Both trucks are new builds. I found some correct tires for #1 so now it's 100% as it would have come out of the box. #2 received some new parts like a new chassis, Associated universal...

strip the chassis and have it powdercoated gloss black

I helped clean it up for a friend a few years back.

It looks to me as if you have .56 shocks up front and you are using the top hole in the tower which is really meant for .71 shocks. The arms are travelling up more than they should and could be helping to cause the issue.

Yikes, a combination of dust and oil on virgin RPM parts... I hope you manage to suck out the oil from the plastic fantastic pores I'll be back here to comment in 2022.

I don't own a T5M so I can't comment there. I did not use a kit for my conversion. I used 3M molding adhesive lol! I cant think of what a "kit" would include. A motor plate? Electronics? The motor adapter you can make from just about anything. Here is a raw aluminum tub GT-e with a T-4 mot...
