Re: The Lives and Deaths of RC Companies

Its crazy but I also do remember rc10 kit prices being on the higher end but actually came down a little around the mid 90's when the B2 came out. I miss my old local hobby shack/hobby people store. I always bought all my stuff there from the 80's until they folded up. Always had deals or sales also...

Re: Blasphemous T2 retro racer

Why wouldn't one make a lower CG tower and remove the lower shocks, thus mounting the shocks directly to the arm? You already tweaked the front. Great question! That was one of my ideas, the only real downside is designing the tower and having it cut etc. Ultimately I'm going to wait until I have t...

Re: ** Build of the Month Contest - October 2024 ** - Winner - TheDiamondOne

RC10B1.5 resto mod. The buggy that was meant to be but never happened and would have complimented the T2 nicely. This one started as a used, stripped down, left for dead T2 sport chassis from ebay that I picked up with the intention of making a modern "woin" racer. Highlights are a shorten...

Re: RC10T Vintage Class Racer

Nice build and great idea using the offset ball cup to keep the steering and camber links away from each other during suspension travel.

Any plans to run on a local track in socal?

Re: 6037 worlds car manual vs kit

From my experience, the 6903 5/8" bearing always had the ptfe seal since the original stealth trans came out. The 6906 were all metal shielded up to and including the t2/b2. Then the running changed happened for first run b3/t3 were they were all ptfe sealed. When associated released the FT b3/...

Re: It appears that I have accidentally purchased another

It's only the beginning. Most of my cars were bargin beaters that got turned into nice runners/become too nice to even run anymore. After getting the two you have running, you will want to have one with a stealth trans. After that it's game over and you will lose track of how many you have....... :m...

Re: Next up- The Halsey edition RC10

Man, associated did a really nice job with the box art on the halsey kit. I've thrown away many kit boxes after finishing builds, but this one is a keeper for sure!

Re: Rere Team car spotted at SEMA

I really like how it looks with gold chassis and the tq21 rear tires look good as well. rc10 rere team car.jpg Good lord, are those bearings in the front wheels? They wouldn't dare put bushings in a team car kit, right? Hard coated shocks and finally a rere buggy with a stealth trans all in the box...

Re: Blasphemous B2.4 Racer

NIce roller. Lots of different suspension combinations you can go with between front and rear b2/b3 arms, all the different width front axles, and b4 front caster block and b4 rear hubs.

Re: Blasphemous B2.4 Racer

With modern hex wheels in the rear, if you use shorter B2 rear arms, you will need B4/B44 rear hubs, B44 length driveshafts (~63mm), and wider T4 hexes. If you use longer B3 rear arms, then you'll use B4/B44 hubs, B4 length driveshafts (~65mm), and narrower B4 hexes.

Re: 6035 ish Re Re!

Very nice. So, that means there is just a graphite and worlds rere left on the table now. Crazy to think we might see them by the end of the year!

Btw, I see this kit as a pre 6035 car, more like a hopped up 6016.
