The D-Hawk bearing adapter is not really necessary IMHO. "Should I put bearings in this kit, or are there any other improvements I could make in the gear box while it's open ?" Bearings is yes. The best investment in a 6 gear transmission is taking the burrs off the teeth of all the metal ...

If you have the brake fet installed, I would try removing that guy first.

Put two orders of peg board hooks to good use, before&after....

Hopefully this one doesn’t walk away on its own

Well, it's not a 10mm, so maybe there's a chance it doesn't. But those are very "comfortable" in the hand.

Are you using the Sharpie trick?
Hit the Comm with a marker before you cut.

And don't stop mid pass, maintain a continuous and constant speed for each pass

While I was waiting for the TBG TQ10 body to make its way through the USPS black hole, I decided to slap together a Graphite basket case that has been warming the shelf for a number of years. I decided to be a little less strict on my OEM only rule, so there will be a few parts substitutions along t...

Nice collection of part for the build. The gold motor guard is a nice addition. The factory graphite is my favorite version on RC10. Thanks. I got lucky with the motor guard on Ebay probably 10 years ago. I agree, the "plate" cars are really neat. A bit of scrubbing and a peroxide soak li...

Got the bearing kit, and was going to get started on the rebuild.

Gold shocks and bushings... So it's a 7011 sport truck
Rc10t logo on chassis like the 40th kit

Kyosho Optima Mid series OT-85 Acetal/Derlin Center Gear.
It took a couple years to find but I got it!

Thanks again to terry.sc for the help.

Oh darn, a thought just occurred to me. :( In addition to the wrong shocks, the kit will likely include bushings not bearings, the nylon could be very white and it probably won't come with a printed manual. But you know what? I DON'T FREAKING CARE! :lol: If the quality is like the 40th (and why woul...

You can see an original style slipper in the pics.

Or a CE car
