Little update on this. Haven't had much r/c time lately, but here's where this one is at. Part re-ano'd in copper and threw some parts back on it, including my last set of Flashback R/C iridium towers. Still have to rebuild the diff and the shocks. Make up the new turnbuckles..... and some other thi...

For the rear end I used the matching set of Andys arms and more Du-Bro upper arm links. I'm still missing one, but hopefully I have one coming with a trade I'm working on. I was going to use MIP shiny CVD's for this build, but when going through the parts I found out my wheels wouldn't fit. As the w...

Wheels/tires have been chosen, shocks ready to be built and THE BODY :shock: :mrgreen: https://i722.photobucket.com/albums/ww227/derbed70/SC10%20Truck/A691A763-67E1-4539-958C-E6AC3D2C297B.jpeg https://i722.photobucket.com/albums/ww227/derbed70/SC10%20Truck/3E6A52FD-8B56-4966-860A-9A5FBBDCE105.jpeg h...

yeah that is the small pattern nut, only used on the GT with the one piece chassis (in that location) but also used on the rear suspension mounts of the worlds car and 10T, and on the pan cars for the front suspension. Part number was 8182. They were aluminum originally and those are very tough to l...

First time in a long time I had the body done before a complete car, Andys RC Paint thanks again for the awesome custom paint job..... https://i722.photobucket.com/albums/ww227/derbed70/SC10%20Truck/EAACED02-33A6-47FD-AA8F-A272650301EC.jpeg https://i722.photobucket.com/albums/ww227/derbed70/SC10%20T...

I got two items to share.... First, The DownTown Diner has been donated to my brother in law's little girl. The wife and myself built the Lego DownTown Diner set in about a month and a half...She hunted the parts and i built out them together....TeamWork :D . Anyways, after the diner was finished, I...

Grabbed some videos off facecrook of my runs with the last one being the Dragster before diff meltdown

Wheelbase is now 275mm. Should we make it longer?
Next step is to design the upper deck. Probably rather traditional design coming up...

I found these at alibaba https://ae01.alicdn.com/kf/HTB1hxoMXPnuK1RkSmFPq6AuzFXaX.jpg I have something similar in my spare part collection, only that the dog bone part in screwed in directly ext to the joint. The other side ends in a metric axle. I will post a pic later. Wouldn't this pretty much so...

Still much a niche category, it still has a national championship here in the UK and there is an official world championships which runs each year. They used to be pretty big a few years ago, I even got involved with the design of this https://www.tamiyaclub.com/tcimages/297/img297_09092009220500_2....
