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

Apologies for being 100% away for some time now, I had not even been back to browse the website in many years. Life just moved on. Today I have returned to post up the latest addition to my collection: the new RC10-4WD that was released by Associated Electrics in 2025. I realize it isn't quite "...

In 1998 Kyosho released a new version of their 1/12 tracked vehicle, the Nitro Blizzard. Originally introduced in 1982 and preceded by four iterations of advancing refinement the Nitro Blizzard would be the first to receive a gas powerplant. Sharing only its tracks with the first Kyosho Blizzard the...

Finished up these 2 Re-releases. It was a busy weekend.

I know its not off topic...but i figured what the Hell...didn't end well

Built the transmission for an upcoming Traxxas based project. Hot Racing case with a rebuilt diff, Drag Race Concepts aluminum drive gear, and Hot Racing aluminum idle gear. All shimmed to reduce endplay. 20250407_185546.jpg I used an old style hex input shaft so that the old style slipper could be ...

My Hot Trick Hot Shot finally got to stretch it's legs at a vintage meet after a couple of dormant years in a box.

Recycled a plastic bottle cap as carpet protectors over the shock struts. Long-awaited excuse to buy a Fanta..

Two happy days in day light at a brisk pace

Thanks to Nick Barber of Remote Control Hobbies Orlando I have finally acquired an original set of our original Ten4 pulleys and idlers made for us by Robinson Racing back in 2015 or so. Interestingly enough they are pretty similar to the new AE 4wd parts. If anyone wants to build our 2015 version o...

I did away with the springs, pain in the neck. If you use a standard domestic paper hole punch it snips out perfect size circles of thin rubber, i used thin neoprene sheet, and an old mouse pad, These fitted perfectly into the drive cups and provided the bounce needed. Cut foam the same way for rc10...

Over the last few days I've been resurrecting a few old and worn parts. Filing, sanding and polishing, polishing, polishing... More hours than I care to admit. My Litesink is the same one I used when I raced my Houge RC10 in the 80's-90's. Never really been happy with the way the Litesink turned out...

I just took a risk on this and I'm hoping I don't get bit by the "If it's too good to be true" bug...
It's free shipping from China and due to deliver between 5/19 & 5/30.

I guess I will grab some popcorn and wait

I started a remodel on my Granddaughter's RC track. I picked up some scrap plastic gasline to replace the steel posts. They will be over soon to grab shovel's and start building jumps. I'm doing my part to inspire the next generation of RC enthusiasts

Did some anodizing... Turned out pretty nice. The rounded part on the top of the "radiator" of the Litesink was to clear a body I once had on the car. Polished rc10 parts.3.JPG Polished rc10 parts.6.JPG Old motor mount - new ( refurbed Litesink) motor mount Polished rc10 parts.5 (2).JPG Po...
