Re: The RC Corvette in - (1988) The Dead Pool - Clint Eastwood

Kydex is easy to shape with a heat gun, here are the body mount side wings with a 90° angle. https://i.img...

Re: RC10L Wheels, Tires & Donuts - Details & Deep Dive (help needed)

These are for the fronts, so they are only about 1.1" wide, but these are definitely closer to 1.9", than 1.7" - I can't use them. https://i.imgur.com/yhVqC2t.jpg https://i.imgur.com/dWVcqzy.jpg I bought these and a set of front 12L donuts - accidentally. You want to try those TRC Gre...

Re: Jay Halsey replica; Antenna tube color?

Building a couple replica 85 Halsey cars and wanted to know.. Is the antenna tube he used yellow or orange? Now that you mention it, that does look orange, could be the image though. There are some yellow tubes on ebay that say they are for boats, that look closer to the tube found on the '85 IFMAR...

Re: What your workstation looks like?

Someone left the walnut table that's under the stereo in this pic, near the garbage here at my condo. I've given away some nice stuff in the past out there, but this is the first time I've won the garbage lotto. https://i.imgur.com/SuVpBX1.jpg Inspired me to clean up my workstation area, and even tr...

Battery pack and all wiring completed. https://i.imgur.com/SYgCs3T.jpg Futaba MC-111B ESC. https://i.imgur.com/VvYa9KS.jpg The yellow battery pack is for display purposes, going to run this with a NiMh pack. VVJgnKGXW0g That pretty much does it for the chassis. Time to get the body going now.

Re: RC10 - A Stamp Rebuild - '85 Jammin' Jay Halsey Tribute

Yokomo 834b wing buttons arrived today, after being lost for a couple of days in the mail. https://i.imgur.com/2khOcIu.jpg Cut off 1" of a Boki wing wire, jammed it to the bottom of the tubes, and then bent it. https://i.imgur.com/oW9CnqH.jpg Do I have the wing back too far? https://i.imgur.com...

Your TDP vette is incredible, and your 85 JJH car is outstanding, everything about the chassis being correct makes it hard for me to get anywhere near that close. I learned a lot from your threads, thanks!

Re: looks like we need a rere associated on road section next!

The RC10DS is out of pre-order. We should start seeing these in shops soon.
https://60years.associatedelectrics.com/rc10ds-classic-kit/

I'm going to have to wait a bit, but definitely want one. Will be looking for one at LiquidRC, or Michael's, Nitro Hobbies is good too. ASC8082 is the part number.

Re: looks like we need a rere associated on road section next!

Really looking forward to hearing exactly what wheelbase settings are available, the DS should be a great custom body platform, with lots of places to drive it. A well lit covered/underground parking lot would be a raceway for these, year round.

Decided to get rid of the silver stainless wheel screws. https://i.imgur.com/CCqob2w.jpg Added black M2 hex cap screws, for the lug bolt look, and built the other five star wheel kit I had.
