The top one is actually just "Mike" not sure why google translate is saying microphone Do you know if the red shape on the back of the body has any significance? Maybe it means 'good luck, you're gonna need it' ? I'm no professional. But I took a look around and I think it's a "hyota...

I was looking at that tonight. Probably clean up countersink and make a bushing to resize the hole. I've got a lathe and I'm not afraid to use it!

Matched and glued up the six new 2500mah Panasonic SCR saddle packs....soldering iron up next.

Camping chairs for the summer R/C season, single beer holder with a 3 can cooler zip/ice pouch on the other arm.

Added a bunch of motors to the Big Jim list, and some Echo motors as well.

Body trimmed, painted, decals on! Rough trim. I went ahead and put in the holes for the pin posts, but uh...well, the front diff pushes the front end up. And the back post looks like it needs another spacer or two to be high enough. I'll probably patch those holes somehow (I have some lexan with the...

RC10 4wd

Way back in the 80's I raced an Optima very similar to this one. As a teenager, I just couldn't get enough of this car and modifying it just for the sake of changing it. I eventually hacked up some fiberglass plate and took some rear trailing arms from MIP to convert my Optima. I eventually had to g...

So the last official RC race I ever participated in was at the ROAR Nationals in 1990 at the Hobby Haven Livermore Raceway in CA. I was in 6th grade, my brother drove me to the event. I wanted to be contrarian and got an ass kicking racing my Tamiya Egress. I disliked the fact everyone had an RC10 a...

Eustace will be running the prototype for the continuation of the Legend this weekend. I'll update when I can. Notable differences- the front end is updated with a stronger carrier and hub design. Same front transmission but the slipper is now more like a single pad rulon style slipper and mounted t...

https://www.facebook.com/share/p/1L9VQb8eM5/ Dean Fisk has built an amazing chain drive RC10 4wd that I thought I'd share here for those not on FB 487411095_122128911746640380_4354357899110972473_n.jpg 487566792_122128911794640380_5763895041917688226_n.jpg 487680929_122128911806640380_39352900839930...

Mainly JC Transmission (to run modern internals) for an RC10. And some other bits, because "why not...."

I'm just considering it winning by not winning at this point. I guess this JRX wasn't as bad as I thought lol I don't think it's that your buggy isn't a total POS :lol: , it's probably still a better buggy than a brand new Hornet. From personal Hornet experience, Tamiya seems to add in intentionall...

Yeah the track surface is like a dragstrip with the sealed surface. The layout is awesome. The surface is quite a challenge and super tricky to get right. Long days though with so many entries. Really cool to see these guys you've seen in magazines just hanging out in the pits. Chatting them up is p...
