What's slowing the battery pack down is the left over solder job from the PO, he must've used a blow torch to solder those on there. where are you located? I could have it done for you. We have countless soldering tools at my business and could likely get it looking excellent. In any event just nee...

sounds good. offer is always there. We have mostly Pace soldering tools but we have a Hakko 805 for heavy duty stuff. The 888 should have enough power for those w/ the correct tip and flux. And definitely flood some new solder on there, and I'm sure you know but not some lead free BS w/ higher melti...

Anyone else having trouble seeing the images? Not coming through. Very interested in seeing the wheel tire combo you developed.

Thanks, limestang

I use a large (like 1/4") chisel tip for batteries.

With that braid on the batteries, you might have to flood some more solder into it for better heat transfer.

Because.....

Do you know what those tires went to? No idea. Never seen anything like it before. I like em tho! coincidently, I was browsing ebay for tires this morning and saw those. They are pro-line 114-R. https://www.ebay.com/itm/305689346362 https://www.ebay.com/itm/326206654846 and looks like this seller h...

I picked this up on Ebay. It should be here today or tomorrow

Fan rc FB-01 hopefully arriving soon. Closest thing to an associated buggy that I’ll finally own

I have spent little snippets of time over the past 20 years or so studying up on wheels and tires for the RC10L. I feel like the more time that passes the more some of this info is lost. Back Story Back in the day in 1989 I bought an RC10L. Living in a small town it was almost impossible to get spar...

Recently I found a 1991 TRC catalog that gave me hope. This is where I realized the TRC BBS wheels are also 1.95” diameter. Furthermore, TRC offered many variations of these BBS wheels and also sold donuts for them. Here is what I found specific to the BBS-style wheel & tire: TRC Donuts for BBS ...

I picked this up on Ebay. It should be here today or tomorrow 👍 https://www.rc10talk.com/download/file.php?id=175782&t=1 I had bookmarked that one, looks like you got a really good deal. The body was the only thing that held that auction back, with a new paint job that will be really nice. Are ...

Yellow is positive and blue is negative. I don't think reverse was proportional I want to say it was like 30% power with no variable, the pot adjusts where the brake stops and the reverse starts. Not like most where you have brake for a few seconds then reverse or brake on the first pump and reverse...

On my Playtron Doberman I mounted a 112b.
My motor wires are orange and blue.
I have the orange as positive and the blue as negative.
It's hard to see but the upper connection on the motor is labeled +

Edit: Hard to beat GoMach to the punch
