One question about flipping the gearbox around to do a mid motor. Isn't a reverse rotator motor needed, or a 0 degree timing motor that can be run reverse polarity for driving forward? I've always flipped the top shaft direction when I do a mid motor to keep motor rotation in the normal direction. ...

Pinned diff, nice!

In the early days, they were just drilling and tapping the RC10 hubs, but used the notched diff rings from Bud's. Page 6/12 explains this.

Things have been awful quiet about the graphite but AE just posted this today ..... They say it's an original and just wanted to represent them all, but all the others are rere so.... Yeah

Hardened stuff generally should be ground or filed instead of drilled. Just gotta be careful not to overheat it as you risk warping them. The jammin jay kit is perfect though!

For the last Ten4.1 I decided to go a little different route by adding CC to the end of it 😉. The clear parts are just my regular ten4.1 parts but printed with a clear resin. The clear parts are not strong, but they will look great on the shelf. I may offer very limited numbers of the clear parts bu...

Finally made the time to throw this kit together. Still need to make body mounts, needs 0°rear arm mounts, paint, electronics. 4C0C6624-152D-4E90-A210-12E6F34DB8E7.jpeg 8B2BF742-4136-44C2-A866-E7237387B09B.jpeg 6F7E367F-9C6D-466D-B9E8-79BAC89192C8.jpeg F5C422D2-80C3-4372-BB82-53F44763D1FF.jpeg 57342...

Thanks.

My buddies call me Candy Corn.

Picked these up off eBay thinking they were interesting but discovered something else really cool about them. I worked at a major hobby shop about a block from their shop. I am going to reach out to my old employer and see if there was a relationship, as I believe there may have been based on the fa...

One was obviously blown so I yanked it apart. Yikes. Breadboard

This looks like it’s going to be one cool piece, the cut down motor plate and guard look exceptional

Engine stripped bare ready for cleaning, it actually came apart pretty easy with the exception of the crank which required a little persuasion and persistence. 20250126_230839.jpg I love these parts shakers, the only thing better would probably be an ultrasonic cleaner. Maybe I should invest in one ...

To save all the boring bits here is the engine all cleaned ready for reassembly 20250126_231819.jpg Bearings, crank, piston and liner all assembled, it doesn't look like this engine has had much use. 20250126_232026.jpg This was new to me, looks like OS changed one way bearings at some stage. This o...

Without going into too much detail here's the restored 10C slide carb. This came out fantastic! 20250126_233650.jpg Just like new 20250126_233600.jpg And the engine basically finished..... The CV isn't a terribly good engine as the liner is ABN instead of ABC, but it still looks nice and they were v...

A hundred years ago I picked up an LXT after winning the outdoor track championship with a composite craft RC10T. Couple sponsored guys had come to our track and just beat me everywhere with their trucks when they came so I figured there must be something to that truck. Being a teen. I sold my 10T a...
