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

Everythings is now in order, and it is time to finish it, really... A quick search on internet to search a jpg of a logo, a 2 minutes activity in Silhouette Studio, the cut, and then we start to transfer something on the bonnet :-). I had a Dune buggy in my mind, from when I was not even a teenager,...

Data. Use at your own risk. I ran the FR01 chassis test twice. :D Weird that as a bare chassis, the FR01 seemed much more rigid than anything else, but as a complete assembly, it kinda fell right inline with the others. The aluminum pans really do benefit by bracing created by accessories; servo and...

All ready for some Vintage Nationals action this weekend!

here is my vintage custom painted ford f350 dually with custom made rear spoiler, bug deflector and sun visor. chassis isn't as nice as the body but o well

Some more of the original.

For this coming weekend. Yellow one is my sons 1991 team car, mostly stock minus 12mm shocks and FW NIX towers. the grey one is an A stamp chassis geometry/flex test car I built after our Jan Vintage event here in NC [/img]. The cars are 90% the same but with a few more tuning options on the grey ca...

Car is getting there. I need to go get some screws for the wheels and get the body and wing painted. Haven't had a lot of rc time lately.

Please do not take what is in the thread as a complete setup manual for this swap! Read the FTW manual thoroughly! This is not a substitute for the manual! Many things are missing in the posts that you need to read about in the manual. I am mainly pointing out the changes needed to do this swap on a...

Next is the bellcrank and the belt tensioner. For the bellcrank screws, use one of the longer ¾” screws for the right side, and preferably cut the other ¾” screw down a couple of threads or so, or use one of the 5/8” screws. If you use the full ¾”, it will hit the tensioner, but the 5/8” doesn’t get...

Front transmission. The front trans is simply a drive gear driven by the belt pully, and that spins the differential. It is just like the rear without an idler. I did have a bit of endplay on the drive gear this time around, and one shim per side cleaned it up nice. I did run small issues with drive...

I think I had my rear shocks set up per the World's manual, and the inner holes on the TEN 4.1 shock tower are the same width as I had them set up on the FR01, so inner tower holes and outer arm holes should be right, but I may be off there. It is good enough to start with either way. FR011041 BUILD...

I'm sure we all remember the giant glass case of R/C cars at Toys R Us, and not to mention the aisle with all the NES flip cards where we would stand for as long as our mom would let us and try to determine which game to buy from reading the maker's outlandish descriptions and a few microscopic scre...

I bring a classic my brother and I completed. It is a 1996 Yokomo YR-4M. It is resurrected to absolutely mint kit form, including the odd tire combo that came with it new. Its got a cool jack shaft setup to operate the 4wd. Also, a super smooth high revving Tamiya 13T Dyna-Run mod brushed powerplant...

Gonna try again.

Tamiya Super Hornet.

Same Gentlemen sold me this laser a week after he kindly adjusted the buy now on a Kyosho Rocky.
Both need serious amounts of TLC but they were local and didn't need to pay as much again on shipping.
Not convinced i needed either, but got plenty of bits around to make up a decent runner.
