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!

Stealthboy2600 did a nice job with his in gunmetal gray

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.

How do you suppose to open the box?

I would ALWAYS use that for opening boxes, just because I could!

Now that AE is catching on, MIP needs to get with it too and rerelease what everyone wants... not just a new screwdriver

I'm sure they could have a ReRe section too.

In addition to having springs that are too soft, the tiny front shocks are horrible leakers. A front shock upgrade is needed. I have a spare set that are the right length and seem like a natural fit. . 1000011051.jpg . However stiffer shocks = more shock tower deflection. The tweaked shock tower I p...

Do you need a brand new top shaft, or just a usable top shaft?
