Thanks! I decided to forego painting, but did apply a low gloss clearcoat I have on hand for HO slot car bodies to clean up some sanding scratches. It turned out pretty decent . Fairly glossy when wet. 20240222_192243.jpg But loses some gloss as it dries. 20240223_165016.jpg 20240223_164945.jpg Time...

Can't answer your question directly but did see a video on youtube with two guys who competitively run Topcats in Vintage and other races and they discussed how these made by Bezerk address the issue of Topcat geometry causing the front to get softer as it compresses. https://bezerk.com.au/topcat-fr...

Thanks! Dang pleased with it so far and have stuck to my plan to restore it without any re-re parts.

The rear hole patch is not perfect, but it is presentable.

20240223_164022.jpg Got the chassis cleaned and steering servo mounted. I had to do some cutting of the chassis to make a standard size servo fit, but it was hardly a nice chassis to begin with. The servo is a clunky old futaba that I pulled out of my rc10gt, so I'm saying it cost $0. Cheating? May...

Screenshot_20240224-002446_Gallery.jpg Got the esc mocked up and tested. Screenshot_20240224-002451_Gallery.jpg Then soldered it all together and tested it again. Realized that it cuts power too the motor when quickly applying the brakes from full throttle. I cant say its suprising, considering the...

Forum image attachments acting strange, so editing this a bit. New in bag TQ wheels that came back to the US from Germany several years ago. 20240223_193455.jpg Instructions included with the TQ wheels. 20240223_193634.jpg On a roll as a roller. 20240223_195142.jpg New in bag TQ tires! 20240223_1954...

My dad’s best friend he had for his whole life developed pancreatic cancer 4 years ago and offered me the car. It wasn’t running and was stored in his garage for six years. I flat bed towed it from his garage to mine. There it sat for another four. This last summer I cracked in. Found 2 gallons of f...

I’m the RC fixer. Last week was a buddies near hopeless T4 I got going. The week before my father in laws A stamp got downgraded to brushed again. He keeps sending it. Today was a different buddy’s VXL stampede. I was done with it in 15 minutes. He even had the parts in the box he forgot about. It’s...

I'm a bit obsessed with Sandkil's RC10

I think everyone loves this king cab. How could you not!

The king cab makes me happy all day!

There's really no rules at Vonats.

3 year update! :lol: It's this car's turn to race at the Vonats. I got one of the new Jconcepts scooped Mirage SS bodies painted by Darkside Designs late lsdt year. Finished getting it trimmed and mounted yesterday and started getting the stickers on. Missing a few yet. I have all of the electronics...

The build us finished! I decided to ignore the esc issue as it was already soldered in and I didnt feel like redoing it with another esc. Screenshot_20240227-181253_Gallery.jpg Assembled and running on a 4.8v 2000mah nimh battery. Screenshot_20240227-181300_Gallery.jpg Took a few minutes to swap con...

So now the dust has settled after the last Nordic Vintage Challenge, and the car returned safely home without broken legs or other injuries. It is crazy stable, but as expected a bit sluggish on a tight carpet track. My mid motor Tekin would probably have been a better choice https://www.rc10talk.co...
