Re: RC10 DS Classic - Build

The only place I can see where the wheelbase could be lengthened, would be the toe-blocks for the rear arms, there is another set of holes The inner suspension mounts are one adjustment and the spacer at the hub carrier also allows adjustment. The rear wheel wells were not marked on a lot of on roa...

Re: RC10 DS Classic - Build

Thought occurred to me. Since the mesh part of the wheel is a separate disk that's non-structural we can easily change up these disks with custom 3d printed ones to get different looks.

Re: RC10 DS Classic - Build

Yes. It's AE's rendition of the Mustang Tommy Kendall drove in the SCCA Trans Am series. Thus, it is a Trans Am Mustang. :wink: The Jon Gooding version is better looking IMO. I think I am going to just go with the stock body and try to pay tribute to it (minus the big wing). 0e18ab57-b16b-4764-9638...

Re: RC10 DS Classic - Build

Personally I think the one piece cncrc aluminum wheels would be bad ass. The gold insert look works, but I prefer the all silver look.

Sadly he sold out in a couple hours so they may be hard to get until he runs another batch.

RC10DS - Kit and Build review.

Picked up the kit on Thursday and built it up yesterday night and today. For the most part the kit went together well albeit the manual was not quite right. So as I was building from both the old and new manual I started to make notes and suggestions on the new manual which I have here: https://driv...

Re: RC10DS - Kit and Build review.

Overall the build was fun. The instructions might not be 100% and the original instructions were far more detailed. Regardless most of the car went together fine. As I stated above my starting setup is hybrid between the old and new kit, the main difference between the setup I started with and what ...

Testing Chassis Flex On RC10 Buggy Variants

So, I got a little something something coming in for my FR01 based car, and the question of chassis flex came up. The ol' question of whether graphite chassis flex much more than aluminum tub chassis. I got to researching a bit, and it just became too bogged down, and too much opinion without facts,...

Re: RC10DS - Kit and Build review.

Drove the car yesterday and added more about the experience above.

Really want to try this with some foam tires in the future.

I also might try moving the rear swaybar endlinks to the middle holes and see what effect that gives me.

Re: The Lives and Deaths of RC Companies

The hobby isn't the same as it was in the late 80's and 90's. It has become way more corporate and lost the magic that it once had. I'm just glad I grew up in the hobby when I did.
