Absolutely not, they won't sell one unit..why would someone buy that?

To convert it to c h a i n drive?

If you have that much free time, how about you come paint my fence?

I am surprised to see "tires/wheels open" for all of the vintage classes. This track was "slicks only" every time I went. The lady in charge was not too happy when I asked either, as if I should have known even though it was my first time at any track in 30 years. A 5 minute har...

Make sure you set your car down with the knobbiest tires you have while asking said question to. And then we she finishes give her the 20 minute talk about how we used to run on "real" off-road dirt tracks.

ok, ok, hear me out....

If we changed No. 4 to a silhouette of a middle-aged dude holding a transmitter sandwiched between the blue and red, I'd be for that.

Blinky mode provides no boost. It is advantageous to run an adjustable timing stock motor to get maximum performance. You can run a fixed timing motor but the static timing may not be optimized.

Even though tempting I never got around to order any of the new releases. This one still hanging around as my recreational runner. Gives me that mid eighties drive feel and serves me well. This year I gave it a 40th anniversary treat with a new body from Andy's. The diamond buttons are release. Stac...

I went to the track tonight just to check it out. The track is super smooth and sticky. I could feel my shoes sticking as I walked. The locals are running silver compound JConcepts Smoothie 2 slicks with foam (front p/n 4018-06; rear p/n 4017-06) and using SXT. I am sure other brands will work, too...

Here is the 10T I mentioned above:
-Hobbywing 13.5
-ProTek servo
- 12mm shocks
- Moto-Obscura brass weight sandwiched behind the front bumper
- built in short wheelbase, with A&L steering rack:

Unusual Solar flare down here,
Decent long duration plasma exposure last night.
Southern lights or Aurora Australis as opposed to Northen hemisphere Aurora Borealis
These were from Opunaki Beach, New Plymouth New Zealand.
Have a great weekend all.

I sort of think of the shocks that come with the JJ or world spec Ultima as big bore though I get they are technically not. Certainly a modern, smooth threaded shocks at least. But regardless. Your idea is a good one, but unintended consequences right. In an attempt to separate RC10's you create ano...

Alright chassis is together! PXL_20241008_124310872_C46nFyGI9L.jpeg PXL_20241008_124331431_2X3eGqbF2O.jpeg First white part is a silly one, but I dig it! Rear hub spacer. It was black in my later B2 kit back in the day. PXL_20241008_124351830_14L3qcwv01.jpeg Time to build the best shocks in the indu...

I finally got around to reading the rules. Is the heritage class requiring RC10 to run 6 gear just date driven by the built before 1990? I know it's all bench racing but seems a 6 gear RC10 is a step or two behind a new JJ Ultima kit or Triumph. Big bore threaded shocks, slipper, updated metal gear...

Back in the beginning for me, racing was an infrequent opportunity. The LHS had a 1/12th indoor carpet road course, butI didn't have enough electronics for my off roaders and my 12i so it sat most of the time. But sometimes there were 1/10th on road racing events, so some on road rubber tires got pu...

1984- All the kids in the neighborhood got Tamiya Frogs and Hornets for Christmas and were bashing away. Awww man....I was desperate for a Hornet! 1984-1985 - Dad was an engineer and as they do, he found a hobby shop out in the country near us (B&H Hobbies, Mechanicsville, VA.) and bought that n...
