Firebrand Tires for buggies on street

Has anyone used firebrand tires on their off road buggies to run on hard surfaces? They look to have a number of tread styles and a low offset that might work on older chassis. Here is one example. Guessing they're the width of 4wd front wheels. They have a wider set that might match rears, if anyon...

Officially an RC10 owner

Apparently none of y'all wanted this bad enough so I ended up with it. At least this one's complete and I just need to clean it up.

It'll arrive when I get home from my trip.

Re: Officially an RC10 owner

congrats on your first one! At this point you might as well make room for more :mrgreen: ! K I've got my nearly complete 93 worlds gold pan build taking up all the space on my dining room table... 8w9rg6.jpg Are those RPM front arms? Reasonably sure it's a RPM 91 worlds conversion. It was listed as...

Re: Finally found a Triumph

These had dogbones from the factory with the W-5061 universals being optional. I don’t know if there were any aftermarket cvds.. The spur gear should be regular 48 pitch, the Lazer ZXR and Triumph were some of the first Kyoshos to switch to 48 pitch. RCCA October 1991 review. https://www.rccaractio...

Olympics RC

Did anyone watch the olympics and catch the RC equipment retrievers during the track and field events?

Maybe we all can get olympic jobs in LA in '28

Re: Just a Rocky Project (Formerly "My Kyosho Developed Yokomo Envy")

I've had a lot of other things taking my time, lately, but RC projects occasionally pop in my mind. With this project I was stuck on what to do for a wing. I would have liked to to a YZ10 style mount on the shock tower to nod to the original intent but there wasn't really an option of doing that wit...

Re: What Type Of Nylon Is Used On AE Vehicles?

Im sure modern materials have advanced, but back in the day Daryl said they would mold a few different materials and take the wheels out back to the dumpster and chuck them as hard as they could to see if they could get them to break. The material they ended up with was the one that survived the du...

Re: Oops, bought a clanger ZX

I do have what I think is a ZX-R, but im not an expert could be a distant but it does have the solid nylon Layshaft, and Ball diffs front and rear. And the Narrower chassis. The suspension arms look to be ZX though, and the ,Fibrelyte towers and steering linkage (not bent at the ends alloy?) Shock ...

Re: Picture of the day. (Taken by you)

Not by me, but by my Mom this morning down at the Georgia coast, looking out over the marsh towards St Catherin's Sound. It's a buggy, humid, stink hole down there most of the time, but that marsh makes for great views.

Re: So, what did you do RC today?

I finally got an early concept for a car wall holder working. It's huge and i"m going to have to iterate a few times to keep cars from dropping on my head.

Re: The RC10 4wd (or how AE stole the Ten4 project)

This looks like what I did for my Pro Se rebuild, to adapt TLR 22 knuckles.

Anyone want to make an LXT-4/JRX Pro SE-4 kit? I've got too much sitting idle to try. lol!

Wonder if I can get those upright/knuckle parts for my gold pan build. Guessing not.

Re: Looking for some vintage Kyosho parts; Alternatives?

For the Rocky/Raider, I started a small substitute parts thread here. It won't solve all your problems, but I found some Tamiya outdrives, PN OP-218, that'll substitute and I think are a bit more durable than the original kyosho parts. Unfortunately my CVD solution is probably no longer possible to ...

Re: The RC10 4wd (or how AE stole the Ten4 project)

Y'all are making me feeling better about building my Worlds Car Geometry gold pan from Fan RC/Custom Works/Vintage RC10/etc parts rather than an AE kit.
