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

I have had multiple bicycle frames Cerakoted over the past few years. The results are durable and the matte finish is aesthetically pleasing. I have never used it on RC, having always done powder coat in the past, but the thinner and more scratch resistant finish appeals to me as well. My local powd...

Hey guys,

I have a nose plate that is in pretty good shape. Typical arc scratches from the steering bellcrank and the front has a bit of a wave to it. How are you guys bending it back into the correct position without leaving marks or making things worse?

I used to do stuff like that. Now, I just build more shelves. It's less stressful to not have to choose.

With help from TRX1-3, I believe the aluminum rear pivot blocks are made by Fast Lane. The wing mounts are Revolution. The outdrives are Traxxas. I don't know who did the front carbon brace. I built up some nice FT shocks. I thought the Kashima bodies would fit well with the color of the motor plate.

Working on the wiring. Trying to keep things clean as usual. Also cleaned up the esc as best I could.

Jcon should really be a lot more clear about this. They say it fits RC10 however while the offset is correct there was only one RC10 (not b2 etc) that ever came with 3/16 axles- the rerelease worlds car. Every other RC10 was 1/4”. I bet they get some phone calls for this.

Just a heads up, I'm sure we all have older RPM and Lunsford ball cups rattling around somewhere. For 4.3mm ball studs there are the 3racing brand ones, some HPI ones, but with Lunsford shuttering ops....anyway I stumbled across some 4.3mm with M3 threads in Ti by "reveD". I think they are...

Custom Works, Schumacher, ECX, and CRC.

Those are all 4.3mm balls but Schumacher is the only M3 thread. The others are 4-40.

Good to know thanks!! The reveD were the only ones I found definitive dimensions clearly presented in a schematic type diagram...I got so excited...anyway

It's been a loooooong time since I've brought up needing donations, but we've only reached the goal one time in the past six months, and we're exceptionally light this month. Since it's Christmas, or whatever else you celebrate, why not give the gift of helping RC10talk stay around until at least th...

This is my shelf display Hornet using the AMPRO adaptors for using Kyosho rims and Good Year branded tires.
My next project is to transfer the tires to an old school RC10 (I think the fronts and rears are a direct fit).

Do you eat persimmons in your family lol?

Another option if needed.

sorry for the long delay in posting more, i've been busy with some other projects, including building a Kyosho Turbo Scorpion re-re. in addition to having a box of rc cars in my parent's basement for 30 years, i also had my tackle box of rc car parts. the OG 540 motor from the Blackfoot as well as t...
