It's not bad, just a little off angle. Once the body is painted, foam washers applied, and the collars put on the posts, nobody will give it a second glance.

Not to get political, but "Made in Taiwan" and "Made in China" don't have the same stigma.

Since the TQ10 came before the RC10 Graphite, wouldn't that make the Graphite the "Bizzaro" car.

Regular arms or trailing arms?

Regular arms, nothing special. Just know that the front arms were designed to work with 0.56 shocks, but different towers can be used for other options.

I'm not very familiar with Andy's trailing arms.

Got some speed controllers, a G plug receiver, and some various wiring. The Tekin Rebel and the wiring were all extras that the seller just included. Even though the receiver is clearly a 4 channel airplane model, it has a tag saying that it's 75mhz. Odd. Screenshot_20220818-145802_Gallery.jpg Scree...

I powered up the receiver and found some old G plug servos, it works with my 75mhz surface transmitters.

Rewired a couple esc's this evening. They turned out okay, but I'd forgotten how much I hate working on Novak's.

That's a Monster Mash. Adjustable timing, Speedworks endbell, and a yellow label. I have three of them.

This will be a buggy, built mostly with Blitzer Beetle parts. More or less, a Bear Hawk. For this car, I'm using as many new parts as possible. So far, the only used parts are the red carriers and servo mounts (already had them). The electronics will be mostly vintage but in good condition. As with ...

You wouldn't need that to inspect any weld I've made. You can see that they are garbage from across the room.

With brushless, I'd switch to 32 pitch gears.

Are you setting mesh correctly? I use the paper method.

1. Guns n' Rose's, Apatite for Destruction. 2. ZZ Top, Greatest Hits. 3. AC/DC, Back in Black. 4. Metallica, Black album. 5. Nirvana, "Nirvana" (black album). 6&7. Pink Floyd, The Wall (2 disc). 8. Journey, Greatest Hits. 9. Otis Redding, The Very Best of. 10. Lynyrd Skynyrd, The Essen...

I wasn't sure the 32 pitch would be required, since the truck it pretty light. Would that send me into a situation where I now start stripping gears inside the transmission? I think that the internal gears are stronger because they are supported on both sides, while the pinion and spur are hanging ...
