Merry Christmas, RC10Talk.

These work perfectly on rear axle

Factory Works rear hex adapters fit the 1/4" axles. There are a few options for the front. I believe that the Custom Works front conversion fits with few modifications. I also have a 10T that uses Traxxas parts. They also require some grinding. I only tried it because I had the parts laying aro...

Really haven't been able to find any Associated FT Rear Axle Wheel Spacers, at least reasonably. Yep, a 2mm washer will work but it isn't too pretty and doesn't have a taper to prevent rubbing the outer portion of the bearing. So I bought Durango TD714002 wheel cone spacers. $4 plus shipping. Way ch...

Doing a little research revealed that the Turbo Scorpion uses the same steering assembly and 8mm od bearings as well. It also appears that it uses a 12mm hex rear wheel.

So, this may turn out to be another 2.2 wheel option.

This may already be here somewhere but I haven't stumbled across it.

I was looking for information on my MIP bellcranks and came across this:

I thought it was cool. Enjoy.

I love these old MIP pack pads. However they are very difficult to find. I've only managed to find 2. I've really wanted to find a black one with red, blue, and silver lettering. I saw a RC10 with this colorway, and have been searching for it ever since. I decided to try making one. This material is...

Hello All! I picked up and refreshed a T4 this week, and while doing so, my gold pan kept eyeing me from across the room wondering why I have never given it any love. It truly got to me, so now it is time to show it some! It has only been sitting around for twenty years. :roll: I don't have a good b...

I don't know how they'll hold up, but Traxxas 7270 tires are a cheap option ($12/pair) and are in the 2.2" size. I've been on a tire options binge lately (outfitting 3 trucks) and now have mounted up a set of these too.

Old nylon losses its moisture over time and becomes brittle. You can rehydrate it in water but it does take time. You can still buy correct size ball studs and cups. Schumacher and Custom Works make the correct size studs, as well as Lunsford ($$$). Team Associated recently discontinued the replacem...

Simply soaking them in water for several days will work. Mild heat (like a crock pot on low) might speed up the process but I wouldn't boil them. All the Schumacher ones that I've tried fit. It's also worth noting that their ball studs use a M3 thread, which is slightly larger than the original 4-40...

I made a post in your other thread about this.

Those fit like the originals, whereas the spring from a pen is too big around.

The stealth housing on the re-release does not properly fit the gears from the v1 stealth I have. I'll have to check exactly why, but I believe the ideler gear is the difference between the 2. I'll have to disassemble my transmission, but I think one had the bearings in the case with a fixed axle a...

But you are correct about the idle gear. The Worlds car had the bearings in the gear, with a separate axle. Non-Worlds cars and 10T trucks had a one piece gear with bearings in the housing.
