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

In trying to figure out my no-brakes, and no-Reverse-delay problem, I looked at the (3) ceramic capacitors that I had to install on the motor, according to the Rooster ESC instructions. I then noticed I had placed (2) caps between + and -, and only (1) from + to the can, or ground. The correct order...

I'm so impressed with this PP filament , I've been doing some destructive testing on a couple of parts , firstly the first warped print I've been repeatedly bending it double then the other way , I've managed to mangle it but I can't break it :shock: then i though what about the suspension pin holes...

Back at the work bench after a hiatus while building a house and then messing around with HO slot cars over the past few years. I started to restore this TQ10 several years ago but never got past tear down. I did collect a few NIB parts back then, so I'll try to get this one in nice shape without us...

NIB Composite Craft Predator...and a nice lot of spare chassis/t-plate/crossbars + a Team Pit Stop independent camber kit....and another Revtech motor for the collection(18D).

This showed up Friday. RC10T with fluorescent yellow tub and nose plate, MIP steering, the original tub, box, instructions, and a bunch of extras.

Finally got my JJ kit in!

A lot of you must already know this, but I recently found a site that has the original Vette from the movie, and it says the Vette was most likely an RC10 DS, and was driven by Jammin' Jay Halsey! http://www.robobugs.net/articles/dead-pool-dirty-harry-movie-radio-controlled-car http://www.robobugs.n...

This build started with a standard RC10CC, a banana'd nose plate, and a worn B stamp chassis. . PXL_20231209_200023047.jpg . Screenshot_20240107-164607.png . PXL_20240105_210854028.jpg . Some nicer additions were included, such as custom Factory Works chassis, shock towers, Thorp 48 pitch gears, Ari...

Chassis buildup started pretty uneventfully. The clear parts don't inspire the same sense of strength that the OG nylon did, so I decided I'd tap that, and that, and that, etc during the build (actual tapping 🤣) to avoid overstressing parts. Probably mostly unnecessary, but it was interesting to be ...

Eventually I got to the gearbox. The RC10CC top shaft already had the gear on it and it wasn't clear if it was on a taper and could be separated, so I grabbed a vintage top shaft for the Thorp 48 pitch gearbox build. I also did the outdrive bearing mod because that just seems like how outdrives shou...

The shock builds and top plate installation went fine. I'm not great at bleeding shocks, but I make a great mess trying. For the battery cup, my green fiberglass strap ended up being a better fit with the top plate. . PXL_20240107_044916669.jpg . PXL_20240107_054229011~2.jpg . After that, it was tim...

This also seemed like the right place for a body I had a friend paint a couple of months ago. The colors weren't a good match with the intended buggy, but I think this is the right buggy. I also added a homemade wing because I like wings. . PXL_20240107_223856551.jpg . PXL_20240107_223122890.jpg . P...

...someone at Associated was an Evil Knievel fan.

Was my Dad's from the 80's.

Success! The adapters worked out pretty well. I do need to source properly sized rear springs though. The included "stiff" springs aren't enough to keep the back of the car level. I put some placeholders on the rear but the diameter is wrong. Definitely got rid of the pogostick effect. IMG...
