Hello Friends of the RC10 Looking at my Losi Mini-T "1.0" (old rear motor version) I found that if I would stretch this thin a little bit, it would be quit exactly a "3/4-Scale-1/10-Buggy". With 180 mm instead of 240 mm, according to that the wheelbase should be a bit less than 2...

I just randomly happened upon Parma's site which now contains some promising news.


We Have Been Closed For Some Time Now
And Hope To Open Up Again In 2023.

Small steps. Waiting on parts...
Just noticed that I need to source aluminum M3 phillips screws for the front turnbuckles.

I did not post yesterday, but that was intense work... I started to deal with the bevel gears for the central joints. I started to check the position of the cone inside the gearbox. https://i.imgur.com/jPGaTrP.jpg The way those bevel gears 18T mod 1 are built is basically variant of the same bevel g...

I didn't realize they did these with stamped brush hoods. I have an original one with the machined endbell, interesting motors for sure. In addition to those, I also have a SV2 with bushings and fixed timing. It isn't marked like a stock motor, so I'd assume that it was a 19 or 21 turn spec motor. ...

After the print of the bevel gear 27T confirmed I could be slightly more optimistic about prints, I launched the full Big Bear gear set I checked after a few layers to see it was ok to continue... https://i.imgur.com/uDX8lBE.jpg And it was... 2 hours later, I had the full gear set on the bed. https:...

Piddling around before work. Another trip through the boxes netted some Novak electronics, an NER-2X and 410-M5. Also made some motor leads and tidied up the servo wire. Kinda-sorta reminds me of the old Novak add, which is the image of what I think a RC10 should look like. I guess it made an impres...

Got in a little more time on the Pro-2. My chassis is lacking two factory parts, 1) bellcrank tubes, and 2) a rear ESC mount, which actually acts as half of the rear shock tower mount. Building one of these from parts really is a PITA. Made up some bellcrank tubes out of some aluminum standoffs. rc ...

Gearbox parts are printed... https://i.imgur.com/gYiXrdn.jpg Good : - it matches the profile of the original gearbox, and holes positions are correct, axles as well, and on all faces... Bad or mixed... - it is really tight with the arms axes. I'll recheck the measurements, but I may have to review t...

Got a soft spot for the Pro-2, had gotten the chassis for my scratch built slash when it was first released. Instantly became one of my favorites and still is. This is when it existed shortly as a speed run vehicle.

There sure is. Do you want me to super size your drink for $1 more sir?

Not yet the perfect beauty but it will do it for a while and for testing. The first runs are very promising, handling is much more stable and consistent than the original truck version. It was not a big deal, three parts (chassis, upper deck, upper-deck-to-servo-saver-stiffener-plate) fell out of my...

Another Holiday Buggy / Sand Rover part , this time the lower gearbox and suspension mount , fits perfectly .

That said, i still find this to be pretty cool.

I got this sad little Grasshopper.

I only paid $40 (shipped !) for it, so I couldn't really go wrong. And other than a pinion gear, I have enough junk to piece it together with.
