Excellent build, its a beauty. Would also look killer with blue wheels, but the black is just as good or better. Indeed it's much better with electronics in my opinion, especially with what's chosen, fantastic. Anything for a servo?

Finally retrieved the Speed Gems Onyx 14x2 motor that has eluded me for years. Just need a quick cleaning but it runs fantastic and armature looks excellent. Much thanks to our fellow Texan Ed for helping me complete a full set of Speed Gem motors in the collection.

Well done Dirtburner, and good job to all contestants.

Looking great! This is making me want to put some electronics in mine. Do it! Just don't enter yours in the same build of the month as I do. I don't want you taking all the votes for anyone who would vote for a Pro XRT just because one shows up to the party :lol: Which old school Le Mans motor that...

New XRT wheels & caps on, camber and tow set, and shocks mounted. Resized_20220630_193843_1420.jpeg Resized_20220630_194209_111.jpeg Anyone know anywhere that sells spring collars for 10mm shocks. I'd like to get the really thin ones so they're not so noticeable up against the white shock clamps...

Trinity Speed Gem Chromium 16T double. And a Hobbywing 1060 brushed ESC for the boy's ECX Amp truck, since the factory esc/receiver unit died.

Much thanks to Ed for the white spring retainers/locators that look great resting up against his shock clamps. Much better than the large black spring retainers pictured in the previous post.

Good points made everyday in RC10talk. Yeah, this place really ain't nothing like facebook.

Couple new resto projects. RC10L and RC10 Team buggy. These two specific cars have a lot of sentimental value even though they're not mine, and are the soul reason why we got into RC in the first place back in the early '90s. These belong to a life long friend (literally since diapers) and his fathe...

Freshened up 240S. All new Kyosho springs, Trinity brushes, bearings, 19T single armature and MCI decal. I bought this motor on ebay and it unfortunately came with a double wind armature, the 240S is a 19T single motor. I came across a brand new Trinity/Epic 19x1 armature so I picked it up for this ...

Motor spring tension tool arrived.

Electronics done and working smoothly. Just need to find the ideal place to mount the ESC on/off switch.

Rebuilt this Kyosho Le Mans 240S with new bearings, Kyosho LM7 240 springs, Trinity Speed SPEC Brush ID Shunt Dual Face brushes, and a brand new Trinity/Epic 19T single wind armature. Motor spun 32,700 rpm, 3.25A @ 7.2 volts at 0* deg timing; and 35,400 rpm, 3.5A @ 7.2 volts at 6* deg timing. Edit- ...

Rebuilt Kyosho Le Mans 240S with new bearings, Kyosho LM7 240 springs, Trinity Speed SPEC Brush ID Shunt Dual Face brushes, and a brand new Trinity/Epic 19T single wind armature. Decal is a MCI racing repro. "Broke in" the brushes at about 2 volts for 20 minutes, then let it cool down. Tes...
