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

My original Novak 410-M5. I converted it to 3 wire I think by following an article in RCCA back in the day. I decided to clean it up and solder on new wires and a new switch. 20250510_091241.jpg 20250510_091701.jpg 20250510_141137.jpg 20250510_142020.jpg 20250510_150305.jpg Cleaned up an NER-2X also...

Where can you get these from new?

I’ve been going through some custom R/C graphics I did in the past…

That reminds me, I made a replica of the Losi LXT graphic used in the manual so it could be used on a decal and added it to MCI's catalog.

Cool stuff

Erich and I will be sitting down for a live stream on our YT channel pretty soon. He'll go over everything then.

Wait, WHAT?!

Do you expect to have the full kits back in stock? BTW - such a cool kit you guys produced. I don’t think we’re going to do the full kits anymore. I may make pre-modified transmission cases available for sale, but I’ve been cutting all of the motor plates by hand with an dremel and I think it would...

I guess I better finish this one up before I see a bunch of them being built and it makes me lose interest.

I thought the same thing about the rear arm mounts. Just gonna end up with a bunch of F'd up chassis. Especially with today's high grip tracks.

I'd also like the outer rear arms to be opened up like the T2 so you can move the hub carrier forward and back.

A few years ago, Aaron sent me the chassis i posted on the previous page. The one mount hole was ripped out. I fixed the hole (later), but since I want to actually race it, I knew it wouldn't be strong enough. So, I made a mount that attached to the chassis in front of the bulkhead and jwscab made m...

More and more I look for the USA Made parts. MIP is truly cool for keeping operations here at home.

With the exception of the AE Kinwald kit, I've had no desire to buy any of the re-release kits from AE.

Custom Works is made in the USA, at least from my understanding. A lot of the dirt oval companies are, such as Five Star and Five Seven. CRC also seems to be USA based still, and RJ Speed as well. Im sure there are many more that are USA based, but I don't know how far you have to go to have the &qu...

This brand new, early JRX no logo beauty.

Did some cutting and paint on the optima mid worlds. Got the paint pretty damn close. IMG_20250520_175302507_HDR.jpg Before you ask, no i don't have a formula i just kept adding white to Mission MMRC-011 RC Aqua till it looked right. Cutting the body to work with the Exodesign chassis was fun. I cut...
