Got this Blackfoot wired up. Futaba receiver and servo, Novak Rooster, and Reedy 19T Quad Mag.

I'm currently at 42, you're probably safe.

Speaking of, I need more shelves.

Got this in the mail last night. I'ts a bunch of different JRX parts put together but lots of cool RPM goodies on it. Not sure on my plans for it yet, but might run it as is with different tires for the heck of it. IMG_20230415_153029844.jpg One of my 10T's has those same Losi tires on it, front an...

its really not worth the effort dealing with some of the kit parters. "RC Nitro Hobbies" on ebay has been good for me. Out of probably a dozen orders, I've only had one small mistake and they quickly corrected it. I actually have them in my saved sellers list. I'll check them before doing...

From what I read, this seems to have been centered around people using the Traxxas name and product names in their URL's. Since using those names in the URL will promote more web hits, it's the same as using someone else's name to promote your business. So, while I think its a bit of a low blow, I c...

Thought of the day: don't rebuild shocks after a steroid shot (sinus infection).

Some of those c clips will never be found. They were last heard ricocheting off three walls.

Dug out some spare clips and got the shocks built. Rebuilt a set of Traxxas "Big Bore" shocks (not really, but that's what they call them). Used some 3D printed collars from Frankentruck to allow the use of larger (and much more common) Traxxas Ultra springs. Then I installed them on my St...

Here is a set on a RC10.
The wing wire won't fit through with much more than a 45° bend in it. So you have to mount the wing and then finish bending the wire.

Got a set of Futaba FXT shocks and a BPS add from Jerry.

Thanks man.

Since you are using a solid rear axle, can you use some type of disk brake. Maybe attach the disk in place of a spur gear or something.

Jerry sent me some shocks for the FXT. Rebuilt them with new shafts (Arrma 45mm) and new seals.

On the truck.

You can bet that it'll end up with one giant "F"

May not be the exact same listing but a set like that was the first thing under "rc10 shocks", and this was also included.

What length are the shocks, eye to eye? Even original RC10 rear shocks were too long. You typically needed 5/8-3/4" of internal spacers for the correct length. I suspect that the fronts are typical truck length, in which case you have another option. Factory Works makes a front tower for using ...
