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

Couldn't help myself, just kept coming back for another look at the Sledgehammer, so digging the monstrous heat sinks on the ESC :D Yea, the truck started off mostly stock from the original owner, but the ESC had been replaced at some point over the years. I knew that I needed to bring it back to o...

I am new to pan cars, just got an old RC10L3O. So I have to ask why you would peroxide the wheels? https://www.rc10talk.com/viewtopic.php?f=38&t=14978 I can't help with the original question. I have whitened many things, including wheels, but never had a situation where the foams were good enou...

Finally got a good Sunday out on the boat to head down the James River to the area of Jamestown. I have been trying this trip for two years, but weather, wave height, etc etc has kept it from happening. Today was a perfect day on the river!! :D This is Jamestown from the water. The first permanent E...

From cheap set of wheels to full build................... So, I wasn't going to do any more long build projects here, because well, they are long and drawn out, and nobody really cares; they want to see the final product. But, TBH, the forum has been super slow the last couple / few weeks, so whatev...

I started with a solid list of 20, and License To Ill was on that, but didn't make the cut. These are in no particular order. And I am sure soon one that I completely forgot about will pop in my head. :? Violent Femmes : Violent Femmes Weezer : Weezer REM : Document The Lemonheads : It's A Shame Abo...

So far, so good on the re-wiring of the ESC. I haven't test it yet, but I did power it up, and the smoke stayed in and it lit up as it should. I would not recommend that project to anyone unless you are completely comfortable with screwing it up and tossing it. HW does a good job of making those boa...

I very much like how you’ve worked around not making additional holes in the chassis 8) I am so far good on not drilling any holes in this chassis, and I am also hoping to not countersink any holes that aren't countersunk from the factory. I am also going to try for making all the printed parts mat...

I'll RoShamBo for it, but only if I get to go first!

I am not having any luck with dyeing this PLA. I am trying every trick I can come up with, but nothing is working so far. I have faith something will work out though. The lightbulb will click at some point. :wink: The task for today was big a$$ rear wing design / print, and I have to say that I am h...

I would take that back and ask for it to be made on the machine that made the breasts! Honestly, I make bad prints, and your part is really bad, even by my standards. If it is a strictly functional part and it isn't going to be seen, that is one thing, but if it is out there in any form, please have...

I have multiple Bolinks in better condition (Sport, Eliminator, Road Pro), but none of them excite me as much as this POS. For the longest time, and this is still true for the most part, I cared about "my prime" RC time, about 1984-1991, but more and more, the older stuff is interesting me.

Congrats radioactivity! I kinda knew I was done when I first saw your rig!

You also might try lightly sanding the surface with some fine sandpaper to give the dye a way to penetrate the plastic. Thanks Doug! This tip is completely accurate in this case! Of course, with my laziness I replaced sanding with tumbling, but same concept and it was required. I have not done the ...

Got some new RC10 universals from JC Racing. It is kinda weird, as I have never actually seen universals that weren't completely worn out.

Had a lot of setbacks today on the build, with the first being printing the trans adapter plate for another vehicle. :lol: Then after that seemed like one step forward, two steps back, but overall forward progress was made. Had a couple of issues with the steering knuckles so borrowed some from a pa...
