I like how the "other side" seems to be a little more casual with their track surfaces....short grass, maybe some turf, and a dash of dirt. Seems like they are more determined to have some sort of a track that meets the minimums for "offroad". Instead of balls out all turf indoo...

I decided to put together a setup sheet for Brian's winning setup. Keep in mind this is going off of info he shared with the press back in the day, some info may not be 100% but is as close as I could dig up, so far. Note that the sheet shows the Worlds Car shock towers, while he didn't use these to...

Was his servo not mounted with posts? Doesn't appear so. That's one thing I don't have to buy lol. Yeah he had it glued down and the ears trimmed a bit. Its also more forward than it would be if it used posts, nearly touching the nose plate. Screenshot 2025-06-19 151043.jpg I want to know what that...

So I know there's going to be a lot of Kinwald replicas out there with the release of the Kinwald edition from AE but I've decided I want to make mine as accurate as possible to the '93 Worlds winning car, especially after realizing I had many of the parts needed to make it. That said I don't have a...

After work today I finally started to actually get to work on the car, starting with the "machine" work. I use that word lightly as I do not have a machine shop, but I do have a crappy, old drill press, an endmill, and a ramshackle cross slide vise. First up - The rear arms PXL_20250620_21...

Added the missing countersinks to the chassis along with reshaping the front of the tub. I also went over the and cleaned up the factory machined edges with fine sandpaper to get the edges more consistent.

I dug out my Sassy Chassis RC10 and swapped some stuff around. I swapped out the wide front arms from some short ones and used wide CRP axles. For some reason, it just felt right. (the Tamiya shocks are also a better fit with short arms) I also swapped the rear arms and carriers for some that match...

Hmmmmm.

Nevermind, I think someone there messed up and posted the wrong ratio on the website, all the gears have the same tooth count. it is 2.25:1 not 1.83:1 as shown on the website.

Been slow going on this build. Tons of small things get noticed as I continue on. Top shaft is too short of a hydradrive so had to source a new part for that. Strangly theres a seller on amazon selling them, we'll see if they're any good though. Also ordering a bunch of new seals for the hydradrive ...

It'll work but just be aware that he new trans case has some webbing that might get in the way a little bit. Felt should be able to be pushed over it though.

Hey Thanks!

There's a lot of tiny things in this. Definitely more involved than I first thought!

Finished the twins. Those look incredible! Would've liked to see a build thread on both of these. Are they RC? Hey, thanks so much!! I'll put something together and post it somewhere. Yes. 1:10 scale RC, 2WD, full interior, detailed chassis, suspension, 390 engine, C6 transmission, single exhaust s...

The topshaft came in. While not great it's serviceable and for $15 I can't complain too much. Gear mesh is good it's slightly too big on the flats section so the hydra drive is tough to get onto it. Nothing a little filing and sanding didn't fix. A little comparo to the different top shafts, single ...

Is that deal only for the club members? I'm still seeing it listed for $118. Yes, it is $59.99 for club members. rc10t chassis 5999.jpg Hmm and no laser etching. Do i decide to buy one of these and do my own kinwalds cuts to be more accurate and have a spare nose for my 10T? I've so far resisted pu...
