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

Stick with what you are doing Dadio, and don't let the money-hungry a$$hats get to you! With your creations, you are personally saving vintage RC cars! And ultimately, whether the end user spent $20 or $80 for your creation, it may very well have saved a car from getting tossed in the bin or parted ...

USPS surprising me with an early package ..... on a Sunday! I love when cars are just frozen in time.

I find 1/12 pan cars fascinating to build.... but completely impractical to actually run. :mrgreen: Their simplicity is what attracts me, with a minimal amount of chassis parts (ie less $$$ replacement parts), but so much mass once electronics and such are brought into the picture, and it all needs ...

If you "explode" the front end of this vehicle to its smallest pieces, there are just around 200 individual components in this front end. During the disassembly I realized that in both examples of the vehicles I have, the dogbones were painted to match the cage. The green of the CC motor l...

It took me close to a year of being on this forum before realizing the magic which this shop creates.

What about something like the AE SC8 or nomad wheels n tires. Yea still sc rubber but you can keep the 17mm hexes. The problem is the wheel offset. Most SCs run super positive (almost flush to outside wheel), as compared to the about neutral offset of the stock Hunter wheels. To stick SC8 wheels on...

You should pay what you are comfortable paying for it.

That is about as much of an answer as you are going to get here. This forum doesn't value rigs.

Test runs of the wheels starting to come together.

It is actually 2022.

Hard to get too much newer than that! Nice find.

There is a long story about me constantly begging a friend of mine to use or borrow his CB back when I was 14 or so, and him never doing it for the longest time. He never played with it, and it just sat there. Then a one point, he needed a favor from me, so I negotiated a deal and got his rig for th...

I run the same Savox on any of my cars that will be run regularly. If it is going to sit on the shelf most of its life, it will probably get a Fut S148.

I would have to be a paid racer before I would think about a $200+ steering servo.

I knew I wanted the clod-busting guy on the truck somewhere, but I really didn't want to run the stock stickers on the doors. I also knew I didn't want to run the stock roll bar and lights, so I figured I needed to cover the bed with a tonneau cover. Figured that would be an okay place to put the bu...

While it's just a simple surface modeler, Sketchup can be incredibly versatile - especially if you're willing to invest the time needed to learn the software. Yea, I am a little like a musician that plays but never really got taught how to play my instrument! I would have far less time in learning ...

For some reason, every time I get into the final stretch of a build ..................... stupid work gets all busy like and I gotta do work! :( Oh well, finalized the planetary hub design and got the parts printed out. They function just fine, and pass the 2' visual test. IMO, they look 100 times b...
