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

Yes you definitely need to bring your own vintage hobby shop whenever you are running especially harder to find models. If I'm racing my B2 or b3 for instance, whichever one I'm not racing becomes my backup. Plus I have spares. For my rc10, like Reg said, spares come along and the vonats crew is pre...

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.

Never formally raced in the golden years. I had a tiny oval-ish track in my backyard but I wouldn't consider it an oval nor am I an oval racer. Basically two drag strips connected with turns. Fast forward after first car, college, work, wife, kids I dusted off my stuff for my boys to play with and f...

Yes that is what they are then. You need the shock tower spacer I believe.

Yes BUT. Ayk/RacePrep Pro Radiant would be the full correct model.

Work benches are pricey unfortunately. Sometimes you can go the home stores in the area and find drop or reject countertops Formica or other wood based. They make great bench tops, or you can buy a sheet of 3/4" plywood and rip it into two sheets that you stack for a solid table top. A few 2x4s...

Wow that is really nice. Looks like almost nothing original!!!

I used to rewind motors. I had a few spools of some various magnet wires. Just looked at specs of different motors for how many winds and the wire gauge so I figured about how many turns a specific wire gauge would fit. But the biggest issue is I never knew what kind of solder/braze to use on the co...

Yeah lightening holes in a few things.

Cutting the kickup off a really nice jrx2 chassis.

Probably others I'm not thinking of. Umm getting back into the hobby and quadrupling (or more) my collection?

If you want to save the label, I would honestly just shave it off with a fresh xacto blade, kind of like whittling a stick. Then follow up with a Dremel with a wire wheel or buffer/sanding drum. If you use the drum do it very carefully so you don't dig into the can.

Economics and attitude are everything. I agree that there is limited middle ground between 'bashing' and 'hardcore racers'. Organized events while fun can be intimidating and there should be a better socialization of novice or sportsman classes. That's where people without much experience or limited...

I'm thinking may be a cheap replacement set of gears for an electric drill might get you something useful? There are a bunch of these things of various construction on aliexpress, of course the risk therein is the fact that it is aliexpress. https://www.aliexpress.us/item/3256801951684991.html?src=g...

That was just one option. I'm sure there a ton of websites along with eBay too.

Good luck!!!!

heck yeah! you could technically build a real deal automatic transmission with this stuff.

if you need any special shafts or adapters to these parts, just let me know.

that's awesome!!!! perfect!!
