The last phase of this build has been the most difficult.. After getting the rear suspension travel and ride height established, I had to match the front end and incorporate the body & front shock mounts all at the same time. To make things more difficult, I wanted to use a stock hard body and m...

Welcome! This is the place to be..

Welcome! This is the place for RC10 knowledge. Be sure to vote for the Build Of The Month and we like pictures! Sounds like that esc might need to be adjusted..

Here is something interesting I’ve come across.. A half full rib/half staggered rib, 2.15” front tire..? I have never seen or heard of this tire before and a quick research turned up nothing. This came on a parts lot car and unfortunately there was only one. https://i.postimg.cc/TwcfP8y9/0-EF0-A63-D...
