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

In the UK the vintage cut off in 1999 so the B4 platform isn't eligible but a new emerging class is the rear motor classic, the B4 and B5 are perfect for this. Search Facebook for RHRClassic

Yeah unfortunately a few bad apples spoiled it for everyone else. Safeguards had to be put into place to prevent a future occurrence from ever happening again. Currently you can edit your posts for 7 days after being made, and also the ability to delete them within 24 hours. It's been this way for a...

Yeah probably a small screwdriver with an oversized #4 washer on it would work for installation. Something that allows you to stack the innards yet allow you to pop them into place as well.

A small jewelers flat blade would probably be the best bet to pop the seals out.

I just use a shock shaft with a downstop limiter under the piston and pull it. I'll normally go back with a nut driver or similar tool to make sure it is seated properly.

Found the video. Good race, nine minute mark takes him on the triple ! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gFR34RNFBJU gFR34RNFBJU http://jbrl.liverc.com/results/?p=view_race_result&id=666592 Anyone know who posted the vid and why it's now private? It was such a cool example of how an old school ch...

First try: wrap around rear arm mount blocks. Need to work on a compatible rear bulkhead next.

Original Works converted all vintage (bar the shocks) Astute racer.

I took a chance and picked up some of these Schumacher Atom ball studs. https://www.amainhobbies.com/schumacher-atom-eclipse-low-ball-stud-4-schu4850/p754692 As with most Schumacher ball studs, they have the correct 4.3mm ball size for a RC10. However, they have a very low profile. They look like a ...

I wanted to introduce myself to everyone. A couple of you already know who I am, and maybe remember my sisters and I running around M&M Raceway as a kids picking up little parts (some broken), packaging them with my dad’s equipment, and trying to sell them back to you. I’m Daryl Lane’s son. Most...

This is my first project in the garage on the RC side. Looking through some random boxes I found 6-8 graphite A&L chassis and after looking around at other spare parts I found a Kyosho front bulkhead that matched the hole pattern on all of them, so I’m guessing Ultima. Someone correct me if I’m ...

From my research, the best chrome out there is Molotow Liquid Chrome, but it is really only sold as pens (or as a pen refill). For something like wheels, it needs to be airbrushed. It seems to do better on some plastics than others, and I think it actually likes heavy coats, so it can flow and self-...

I cannot for the life of me remember the origins of this one. I’d hazard a guess that once it was a graphite or a 6 gear CE, If any of you guys have a better idea let me know. Anyway, I’ve just finished it having had it in a state of almost finished for over ten years. Equipped with a Strates chassi...

I scratched my head looking at the bottom rear arms... Looking at them, they are not flat. And I checked it is the same on the other side. https://i.imgur.com/Qa52wBP.jpg Analysing a bit more, it looks it could be deformation due to the car sitting on wheels for long time. Very likely. In my chat on...

Oh, this is my #1 tip for anyone that wants to rebuild a Sledgehammer. Take lots and lots of pics, and measure your turnbuckles before disassembly! So far, I have found one online manual, and that is care of tamiyabase.com, and props to them for hosting it, but it is not very clear. I whipped throug...

This is mostly Traxxas parts on AE bodies. The front springs are Duratrax but the rear springs, locators, and cups are Traxxas.
