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

Here's my build for this years VONATS, it started life as a nitro GT i picked up from a guy on the GT fb groups and i kinda went ham on it lol, i made the shock towers with slight geometry changes to accommodate the length change in the Yokomo big bore shocks, made a motor mount, battery mount, tran...

Older RC12L body from a purchase a while ago. Not really sure the manufacturer of the body.
Repainted with somewhat vintage theme.
The AE decals were original to the body, might need a few more though.

Not my bike but I've always been a fan of the Eddie Lawson Kawasaki's so I'd probably use these colors.
Combined with green anno chassis and motor plate and gold shocks, it might work.

A friend told me about these crimpers and I was apprehensive, as I have bought other servo lead crimpers from Amain in the past that I was not at all happy with. These crimpers however are awesome. There ratcheting and make shortening leads super easy when wanting to do a super clean wiring job. I ...

The Jun Watanabe Hornet was released in 2012 I believe. Did they re-release it under the Block Head Motors label again in 2020 or something? Since Watanabe owns Blockhead my guess is the car is from the 2012 rerelease but Blockhead was/is still making pink tires. Just one color? If you're gonna tea...

Top secret spy shot from inside an Associated re-release meeting:

I thought the T, T2, B2, and B3 had sport and Team versions that were a change from dogbones to universals and gold shocks to hard anodized (and bushings to not bushings 🤔). Original 10T: Race - Teflon shocks/dogbones/bearings Team - Teflon shocks/universals/bearings Sport - gold shocks with plasti...

Yessir! 03 Sonic wagon

This won't have the cool factor of the custom builds I've seen win in the past, but most of my builds are box art/build manual style, and this is the first one I documented the build on here. Thought it was fitting to have it be the first I submitted for BOTM. The RC10 B2 was my second ever hobby gr...

I translated this article from a german magazine, january 1992: In August 1991 Team Yokomo aimed to defend their world's title. They did so by finishing first and second, but not with their production Works cars, but with cars that were designed especially for this worlds track. It was forbidden to ...

I guess I change my mind! Came together nicely!

A servo connector kit, should allow some tidy wiring

20241109_234709.jpg Same as the last three trucks, I cut the ears off the gearbox. 20241109_234938.jpg Here's a little racers tip for gearboxes, sand the bottom flat so that when you bolt it down it sits flat/square without binding or warping the case. Most molded gearboxes like these are terrible....
