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

Don't be too sad as it's been hardly used for at least a decade, and doesn't hold much in the way of archival significance. The majority of the pics and links no longer work either. It's a bit of a wasteland. It has to die so that RC10Talk can continue to live on as it will free up some necessary se...

Build it.

My graphite car started as just the chassis. Nobody says that it has to be done at one time.

Can anyone identify this motor , I got it in a lot a while ago , TOM is the only mark on it , it has 45° angled round brushes in a triangular holder , adjustable timing and runs very smoothly wait wait wait it DOES say TOM on the head... now, this is a serious mystery to me I will admit... :shock: ...

Nostalgic RC

Hi, A lot of work since 2017. I forgot to share them with you. Last work was from today (stand space) https://media.joomeo.com/large/5eb41d14a85a6.jpg https://media.joomeo.com/large/5eb41e82f07ca.jpg https://media.joomeo.com/large/5eb41e9285212.jpg https://media.joomeo.com/large/5eb41ea2d862b.jpg ht...

I picked up this Sledgehammer a while back, and it has finally ended up in the work queue. Bought it form the original owner who lived a couple of hours away. I could tell he loved the truck, and it came with a tackle box full of spares, and I could tell he really cared for this thing. Was not surpr...

For the existing electronics, the 2013 servo had a lot of play in it, so it needed help. I did some looking around, and the current Traxxas standard 2018 servo looks almost identical to the 2013, so I just cheated and swapped stickers between the two. I didn't notice until I started putting it toget...

Then, after getting all parts cleaned up and whitened if needed, the build begins. The original SC did not exist in the truck, so I tracked down an XL-1 and found a NIP super awesome heat sink. The original tub was acceptable, but I found a new one for a price I couldn't pass on. New skid plates are...

I am going to chalk up the losing of the shocks as a blessing in disguise! Because, although I think the cheap plastic white shocks are most true to an original build, they ultimately look cheap. The black shocks also make it look a little like a second version whereas mine is a first version and I ...

Have been so busy this year this is the first time I have got the Arrma Felony out and ran it since last year. And actually only the 2nd time I have ever ran it since getting it last fall. Already destroyed the rear tires. It's just too hard to resist pinning the throttle on this car.

Ha ha. My thought watching the vid was, "Gonna need more tires..." then I read the post, "....already destroyed the rear tires."

Glad you're having some fun. PIN IT!

Yep. I think tires for a Felony is probably the equivalent of ink cartridges for printers

I do. It's probably not professional. I have another wall with academic books of course. Perhaps one or two RC would be tasteful, but the shelf space screams RC display.

I can't display anything of value in my office. They outsourced the janitorial staff a few years ago. That first year, our dept Angel Tree donation Christmas gifts were stolen while everyone was out over Thanksgiving break.

Possibly try this.
