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

Posting here for posterity, since the little thumb knob is often broken off of Novak switches: The little switch inside the translucent orange or black Novak switch housings is part number SS-12 made by a company called NKK. They are still available for little over a buck from all the typical electr...

Been at this one for a while now and finally about to wrap it up. All parts are scaled 1/2 from the 12e making it a 1/24 car. Fits slot bodies but I'm struggling to find a nice early 80s stock car for it. I made a few concessions along the way but very minimal. For example the kingpins are press fit...

The Parma Hemi Coupe was introduced in 1991 as a simple kit designed to capture the imagination of enthusiasts interested in scale fun over racing prowess. Its 30's era polycarbonate hot rod body and chrome Supercharged Hemi Engine attached to a simple fiberglass plate chassis. Foam tires on chrome ...

If John Milner was into RC cars...

I do a fair amount of designing parts in my free time and decided I should just make this thread for anyone interested in my debauchery. Up for today is this: RRD-LRM-Hydradrive-Cvr.jpg It's a redesign based on the long discontinued Losi JRX LRM HydraDrive Gear cover. Still need to do a test print a...

Since this is sort of the random blurt/off topic thread, I'd like us all to gather 'round the Festivus Pole to wish everyone the very best holiday season, whatever that means to you, I wish the very best to you and yours. 8) Happy Festivus to you too Halgar! :mrgreen: Reminds me... I love this stor...

I had read that Singer sewing machine oil is as good as it gets for assembly/storage oil, saturated the internals in it. https://i.imgur.com/CsrShqq.jpg This still needs the head shim, which I'll order now. But I am getting the pop, as if compression will be restored. https://i.imgur.com/eRjfe6O.jpg...

Behold!! My first attempt at a RC10 Classic Comical! This was pretty fun to build out of spares i had lying around. I went with the classic box art and i think it turned out ok. Body was tricky to figure out how to shorten. As you can see i used rivets to stitch it back together. I'm just missing th...

If you were selling it on eBay that would be a rare edinger gold pan never built new vintage rc10 MIP!

I got Yoga Blocks! :mrgreen: Not because I'm a 4th degree Jivamukti, but because they make excellent R/C car display stands! At 3x6x9 they're the same with as most chassis', nestle between the control arms lengthwise, and keep the tires about an inch off the shelf... firm enough to easily hold the w...

I have this kit under my desk for a while. I was my Xmas gift of 2021, and it is awaiting there I have the envy to build it. And it seem it was time. I have a bug envy to build a kit without thinking today... https://i.imgur.com/bUkIOMy.jpg I took a picture of the box layout before breaking the blis...

If you do decide to mount the body put a small dab of grease on two of the body mounts, line everything up and set the body down. Drill those two holes. Put grease on the other two body posts and repeat processes above... Viola'

I tend to agree. Although I think Phin narrowed down the chassis with the limited side holes to definitely be composite craft as opposed to another vendor(but made by composite craft anyway). My theory is if it's got 6 holes along each side (and it's not a TQ10) it's a Duratrax chassis....if it's g...

IMG_3499.jpeg IMG_3500.jpeg This was not a great build. I wouldn’t recommend this kit to anyone that doesn’t already have an rc10 collection. The instructions are poor, all of the descriptive text from the original is gone. The pictures are ok, but the text would really be necessary for a first tim...
