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

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.

about the only way you can get it to go away is to literally strip off the thin layer that has been dyed. This will require a TON of work, and will result in a physically smaller part. If you were able to find a solvent for nylon, you might be able to get a large portion removed quickly, but it will...

I was bored the other day so I decided to take a few pics of the different front axles that can be fitted to the front of an RC10 to vary the width. Top to bottom are: 7222 wide GT axle - what B4 wheels generally call for 7459 inline T4 axle - a tad wider than stock, needs to be drilled out to 1/8&q...

all put back together. very happy to own/restore this early no stamp.

Ooops, forgot to show you the final result! Sorry guys Now I'm not sure if i'll install some nice period correct electronics...we'll see

Will take some better pix later

Enjoy

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...

3/64"

6223 King Pin 22mm

6227 Front Outer 26.5mm

7209 Front Inner 41mm

7357 Rear Outer 32mm

7356 Rear Inner 52mm

If anyone has some please check my measurements.

If your talking about the screw that retains the pin holding the shock to the arm on a short arm car, it's an .050

well, to conclude..... t5m bones are exactly the same length as the t4/sc10's... they do fit the cva axles... but sadly... too long.. i guess im swapping hubs...ill see how it goes
