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

The SACS front end is brilliant in its simplicity. :D Reviews are mixed on whether it improved performance on the tracks of the day, but it definitely did function as designed. It was standard on my Cougar 2000 (a 95 Team car, iirc), but I was not qualified to judge its effectiveness. I hit the wall...

I say that a lot

I too am guilty of this. :lol: I wasn't very discerning of mechanical features at that point. I remember thinking the Bullet was like getting an RC10 with all of the latest hop ups already installed. Gold chassis = RC10, and all of the differences were improvements. :lol: I also believed the mislead...

It has happened before....

Edit: I did also get a set of the wide front wheels and a pair of Schumacher Mini Dart 2.2 tires, front & rear. Excellent choice. You said "gentle runner", so it may not matter, but I have found Mini Darts to work very well on my dirt/grass track. I've run them on all of my Schuey bug...

8. No Traxxas Bashing. This is the Traxxas online community for Traxxas enthusiasts. It will naturally have a pro-Traxxas bias. It’s simple. If you don’t like Traxxas and wish to discredit us with your misinformed rants and opinions, then don’t be a member of our community. Your posts will not be t...

Hmmmm. It is only a ~4 hour drive...will have to look into it. The link is blocked at work so I can't see the details. Thanks for posting this! I hadn't heard of it.

I would "loosen" the tracks resulting in lower corner speeds and cars sliding around. This promotes passing. Passing (or at least trying to pass) is racing. I am not a fan of what (to me) is just processional Formula 1 with hills. I tried watching EFRA (I am a Schumacher fan and they compe...

I see these Tekno trucks pushing coal barges on the Ohio all the time.

Very cool! I’ve just finished up my replica Magnificent! Curious, how do you feel about this re-re? You did all of the hard work to recreate the legend, and now any idiot with a credit card (me, for example) can have one. On a serious note, from what you can see in the photos, how accurate is the r...

Dinglem scared everyone away. Right now he is probably just waiting for the Loctite to dry on an AYK prototype raced by Jesus in the Olympics. This is my original Top Cat I bought new and re-acquired recently. I present it not as a "great build", but as a great experience- i.e. finding and...

Juicedcoupe is running away with it, which, coincidentally, is what juiced coupes did on the streets back in my day.

Lmao at least the windows were masked out

My guess is that he just rolled them down

That is great! You transformed it! The bathtub is what makes so many Tamiya buggies seem toy-like compared to the "real" racers.

Honestly though, my lazy @$$ would have just bought a Javelin

I thought this was going to be about airplanes I clicked on it, all prepared to talk about the stability and easy controls of a high wing vs the maneuverability and performance of a low wing.

For buggies, I suppose I prefer low wing, but it is really determined by the body.
