I'll most likely put the RC10 body back on, but I do have a few of my favorite VW Bus body now. Looks like you buy like I do... Them: "How many would you like?" Me: "How many do you have??" :lol: I bought every one I could find under $50 shipped :lol:. If they make a 21 window B...

Front end was pretty bad. I was so lucky to find a bag full of shock mount parts that were brand new, bolts, washers, nuts, couldn't believe it. The new hardware really made a difference. Starting off ugly. https://i.imgur.com/H9Ql2mB.jpg Used more simple green and longest time setting, with better ...

Almost there, looking really good. Nice to see you had and have installed the stock spring adjustment collars 8) Thanks! I can't believe those collars were still in my kit this whole time. Wish I had another (4) of those collars for my GT, they look much better than the slip on kind, but for racing...

The reaction is fast usually and if your doing something with thread then dipping may leave bubbles in the thread , it's why the cotton swabs are worth trying so you can work it into details , as I said with steel you can build up layers until you get the finish you want , don't be tempted to just ...

Marantz :D Awesome stuff. I still have my old Carver amp I bought new and a Carver pre-amp I picked up from a local collector. With my hearing, I could probably do just as well with something from Walmart :lol: but I like having old stuff that still works. Carver components, nice! Love the vintage ...

Nope the trucks never came with wing mounts. Thanks for confirmation GoMachV ! Was a huge fan of Speed Racer, who doesn't like Spritle and Chim-Chim? You're exactly correct. I just looked all through my original RC10gt manual, and didn't see those mounts anywhere listed. Not sure why they were in t...

Started around noon today, from here. https://i.imgur.com/UvHaU41.jpg Everything was a mess. The Rx was even full. https://i.imgur.com/zPhrHI7.jpg https://i.imgur.com/h9LeuVG.jpg Stripped screws, from 20 years ago. https://i.imgur.com/jYsm4iF.jpg Remove head and pull start. Engine turns over like ne...

Cleaned and lubed. https://i.imgur.com/NVBmePD.jpg Stealth completed. https://i.imgur.com/7dipZ6G.jpg When the the brake disc stripped, so did the hex nut on the clutch. Replacement brake disc is on the way, ordering new hex adapter now. https://i.imgur.com/p1czlDr.jpg Front end rebuild, shocks, and...

Second blue looks more even. https://i.imgur.com/VLtzkbz.jpg Next to NOS. https://i.imgur.com/KWP8VlZ.jpg Used the Tamiya cutters to get the ball joints cut really close. The old ball cups were chewed on. https://i.imgur.com/uxBKG2d.jpg Finally figured out how to use the tools properly, in order to ...

While waiting for parts on this project, I watched this: u22BKr_aPjY At 7:53 he says the track was torn up and Brian Kinwald put in a good lap with the Losi Hydra Drive/Stealth combo, says he then bought the entire team the same setup. Having the late Stealth CE kit from '92-'96, I went looking for ...

The Oder 1 on the left looks to have the tank back to front to me, you’d never get the lid open to refill in a race Not sure what to say about that, here's some pics of the old tank on the left vs the new design on the right: https://i.imgur.com/E1zNkwj.jpg https://i.imgur.com/qAp88rF.jpg The inlet...

Was curious what the new kit looked like. I set the playback speed to 1.75x and watched this one. Interesting comparison.


Box opening at 12:20 or so.

Add blasted-rc.com to the list.

I think I have everything to get the engine and brake back together on #1.

Delima... They're exceedingly cool and your gut instinct was to buy and install a new one... given the package is damaged it likely wouldn't be a consideration for a NIP parts collection so, if no one asks if they can buy it from you, I say use it. A new kit beats the can of worms of piecing togeth...
