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

Stopped by a table at the flea market this morning, pretty excited to see a Tami Mk5 Porsche, and the seller yells from his truck, "$60 for all of the RC stuff." Yessir! :D The Mk5 looks complete, and I should have a new body and decals sitting around for it. With a new bottom chassis plat...

After the fun of the flea market this morning, it was time to commence with Operation Workshop Reclaim. This room had been leaking from about the time we moved in 14 years ago, and I bandaided it for awhile, and then about 10 years ago, I had the house and everything re-roofed. For the workshop, the...

My workshop now has a skylight! Glad to see a good amount of the nasty go away. :D The worst rafters are yet to come, and I haven't looked at any of them beyond where the back wall is. Fingers crossed on that section. Now that I have gotten deep into it, I am 100% confident that without the header i...

I love it, and I think some creative uses of the CC plastics are going to be a thing for awhile. I have a chassis idea that I think will be awesome with CC stuff, but it will need to wait for a bit.

Thanks for thinking outside of the box with the clear!!

You have to appreciate the irony of you following up this statement by showing what looks to me any standard digital micrometer, and its battery being held in place with masking tape. Is that thing NIST traceable?

Just a thought. Could you use 2x6 joist hangers all the way across the wall and delete the beam altogether? Assuming the ends of the sistered 2x6s are butted up against framing...? I just wouldn't care for the 4x4 post there if it wasn't necessary. I maybe / probably could, but at this point, I am ...

Nope, you're out of cal!!!!

Touche' on there actually being a cal sticker on it though!! You got me!

I think we can officially call this the

I have to think there are more "plays" in this one than the last. Would be interesting to know the specs.

Doesn't matter really, if you want in, you gotta get in!!!

Now I know where my RC10T money is actually going! From Mr. Fan: "Many customers have asked, since we have almost all aftermarket parts made, when we would be able to provide complete kit with all FanRc parts. Here is the answer! FanRC graphite worlds kit is now available! Key features, - Quali...

For the first half of the day today, I got the shingles on, and I am good with how all that turned out. Then I made a materials trip for flashing and siding for the afternoon, and I just didn't like how the whole flashing thing went, and frustration kicked in, and I am just tired of looking at the w...

The Quad/Dirt Bike groups on FB got intolerable for a bit because there were so many "waffles" where people were trying to get $8000 for a clapped $2000 dirt bike. jsA0YeOPXI8 Total props for this post!! I miss Joel, Tom, Crow, and Gypsy so much!! This series was so much fun to watch!!! :D

I officially attended my first RC pulling event today! But it was short lived as the group was a bit behind on actually getting started, and I had chores to do so couldn't hang out for very long. The group was experimenting with a new laser measuring system, and no one knew how to actually use it, a...

Fixed the front end, and installed repop shocks, aluminum bumpers, and aluminum wheels on my SRB. The electronics box is mostly done, so just need to finish that up, and on to the body.

I worked out a deal on a B&R wired sprint car chassis last week, and it got me back in the mood to pay tribute to Kenny Rogers again with a Gambler Sprint Car build. I then stumbled across a good deal on some Sees wheels and body that should fit the bill perfectly. About then I realized that the...

I have (2) old Bolink RC10 foam sets that measure 1.7" in diameter. Just the widths and the tire OD's are different. [ The donuts are cut and trued to match desired width and diameter. 1:10 pan car wheels are generally 1.7" or 2.0", with widths varying. 1:12 are usually 1.4". Th...
