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

My electronics are getting a stealthier makeover.

I predict a lot of oldie RC10 and RC10T will be getting retrofits.

Very nice! Who makes that servo? Any mode number?

If MCI in Canada makes reproduction Big Wig decals, they could also be scaled down to 1/12 scale to better fit your buggy. I think MCI has that option.

CAM was a good motor maker.

The 2520 pro diff seems to be just what was needed, although it's a little sloppy from side to side. In metric-ness, it's about 0.81mm total looseness. I might add a little shim to each put shaft. .

I'm not sure, but apparently it's more than just a one off.

For the rust, you could soak them in CLR for a day, rinse off, and re-blue them with Beechwood. If you soak them in CLR with a bunch of other blued parts (like the screws, dogbones, rear stub axles), you might get the re-bluing and rust removal in the same step with just the CLR.

I use the Birchwood gun bluing on steel. The brass black might not work on steel. But using CLR with other blued steel does tend to share the bluing.

Used translates to the Japanese as junk.

I look at their motor listings and sometimes they want $1000 for a brushed motor. Other times it might be 4 for $50.

Would the dog have a DeLorean?

Congrats on the win, jcwrks! That's a pretty ok-ish buggy. If you ever need a place to 'store' it...

Came across a nice little THORR
