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

First time Tecnacraft owner! With the sticker, even.

Three Peak Performance motors from Ed (Frankentruck). Two 13x2s for an ongoing project, and an 11x4 for the AE dragster. Should be perfect matches all around! The 11Q looks right at home. Also got in a bunch of Tami Hauler plastics from everyone's friend nitro-master.

Soldered up temporary deans connectors to some new stick packs. Now I can discharge them before tearing them down and converting them over to saddle packs.

A little old and new

Took my B4 basher out for some street running. The Traxxarse XL5 ESC sometimes wouldn't allow reverse. I remember that's been a problem before with this ESC. I think I need to replace it with one of the $5 Spektrum units I got (thanks for the tip juicedcoupe). 1000014421.jpg Meanwhile I had to turn...

Well.. wow

I'm going to use my $50 Christmas Amain Gift Card to justify the price of this no matter what it is.

Looks like I'll be joining you in the dog house after this one drops as well.

With all this 4WD talk here’s my Ten4.1 I just finished with show electronics wheels and tires.

13.5 Brushless system and appropriate tires will be installed for racing

Placed my first Factory Works order - have an upcoming project to build a “No Fox Given” vintage racer

Liquid Rc on eBay has em. I've seen a couple people order em.

I agree on the wild red wheels. 8) The orange wheels made it too monochrome. Tires were also a tough choice.... 20250217_094943.jpg 20250217_095551.jpg And wing. 20250217_095726.jpg 20250217_100109.jpg End result after consulting a beer. Vari spike rear tires and clear wing for now. 20250217_120433....

What I expected:

Well, for the perfect gold pan paint, I mixed two parts summer yellow, two parts beachwood brown, and just a hint of Tang orange.


What I got:

Got in my OG RC10DS converted car. I love the idea of the conversion kit because you can stick it on whatever chassis you want to and it is proper. And in this strange time that we find ourselves in right now, I can go order a new 3-piece chassis pan kit, proper wheels and tires, shocks, and a body ...
