I was using 6 cell NiMh to test. I fried in the middle of testing (last year) and this one immediately when battery plugged was plugged in.

Nice collection! And KITT x 2!

A lot more work to do still, but at least the fun part is out of the way now and I can start the tedious frustrating detailed part.

I settled on a front shock tower design that worked with the CRP mount plate, didn't require any more chassis trimming, and didn't require any body trimming. I also made some upper control links with some adjustment capability. Then added some Traxxas link ends to the threaded tops of the shocks. Th...

That corner track marshall looks kinds scary!

That does look a bit sus.

The finish looks like Goldfinger painted it.

What is the ground clearance supposed to be? Maybe the tires are worn down? The ground clearance back in the day was the minimum you could get away with without scraping/dragging (getting slowed down. On road oan cars are meant for smooth surface needing minimal clearance. The downside of truing th...

Uh oh, more red racers!

After reading your previous post, I went back and had a closer look. My truck has two left arms. :( I could try to find a right arm but I can't be bothered. I'll just make a shallow notch so both sides have the same droop. I probably have an extra right arm, if that's the same as the GT or the T2. ...

Nice collection of part for the build. The gold motor guard is a nice addition. The factory graphite is my favorite version on RC10.

So that Futaba ESC that went up in smoke was 100% my fault. Reverse polarity is a bad thing. Oops. That's ok though, I really don't like the single speed reverse and wanted Lipo protection. The DS chassis setup is working pretty well... . 1000011036.jpg . ... until I see that it gives me too long of...

You should be able to move the rear arm mounts forward to shorten the wheelbase. Looks like you're in long wheelbase setup right now. I hadn't even noticed that was where I had the rear arm mounts. Thanks for spotting it. 👍 I'm also noticing the front is a bit narrow. A set of GT long front axles i...

I forgot the cutouts in the chassis sidewalls to let me use the short wheelbase position, but some minor trimming took care of that. Now the wheelbase is a good match for the body. With the wide 7222 front axles installed, so is the front track width. . 1000011043.jpg . It's moving along nicely now....

1 blade, ok. 2 blades? Don't even think about it.
