I found the pièce de résistance. I think I found the only set of NOS roof lights on the interwebs and grabbed them, hopefully they don't get ripped off first run. Kinda sad really as someone probably needs them for a restoration.

Shocks are finally built using 1.02 rear and .71 front hard chrome shafts with the recommended spacers. Time to finish up the small details such as a few missing e-clips and roll pins, then I can move on the wheels and electronics.

Just need to finish some final touches but I like the way it's turning out so far.

Just a thought. Could you use 2x6 joist hangers all the way across the wall and delete the beam altogether? Assuming the ends of the sistered 2x6s are butted up against framing...? I just wouldn't care for the 4x4 post there if it wasn't necessary. I maybe / probably could, but at this point, I am ...

Back in the day when I had carb vehicles, it wasn't that big a deal. Were there minor issues here and there, yeah, but overall, having a carb isn't that big a deal. Since I bought my first new vehicle in 1995 that had a throttle body, essentially a fuel injected carburetor, there's been a marked imp...

He's doing complete kits, now, because I committed to piecing together a complete RC10 myself and am mostly done.

You're welcome.

Due to my puller builds, I became pretty obsessed with bearings in my quest to use the best of everything. What I found is that there are American manufacturers that still produce miniature bearings, but with a catch. They either don't sell to the general public, or you have to buy in large quantiti...

I bought 2. I’m going to hand them to my kids. They get to have the new in box experience. My oldest has no interest in driving it. Just what came with the box. My youngest wants to build it with me and run it. Hopefully there is at least one combination of esc and motor that works. I am not sure on...

I have some brush motors coming soon as well, starting with 12x1 and 17x1, they will be chrome can instead of the black though. Hopefully will have them available by the time the next big release happens. They will be $19.95 just like the good old days

Are you implying that there are Eclips that aren't horrible? :lol: Dunno about azone but I'd say there are e-clips that aren't horrible... they're the ones still in the packaging. :D Speaking of which, azone, putting the dates on the first post is awesome 👍 but looks like some got transposed. Edit:...

Ivan Ironman Stewart was my arcade weakness.

My local track, RC Madness, has this gem.

Welcome! In accordance with the long standing tradition that doesn't really exist because I just made it up, you must now post pictures of said Kyosho buggies.

AE just posted an 'RC10T Talk with Cliff and Curtis Part 1' video on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1VqzAM-wAbQ

Rick Vehlow was the driver. But it's not gonna be a true replica. Screenshot_20231003_224535_Samsung Notes.jpg Edit: going with a Furatani "replica". The V-low-pro version of the TRX-1 body is kinda too expensive to reproduce. Have you thought of the team blue groove narrow trx1 body? It’...

You can use standard white nuts on the m3 threads. They are 1/4" hex but those plastic nuts are usually good for a #4 or #5 screw and m3 is right in the middle of those. Probably what he used.
