RC10Talk - The Net's Largest Vintage R/C Community

The ones on my Losi Mini JRX2 measured 3.9mm. The thread looked like M2.5 (maybe 2.6). If used with a helicoil, they'd probably work.

Last Saturday I went to the rc store to buy a new glow plug and fuel line, I wasn't look for anything in particular, The owner is an old guy, a little bit grumpy, for some reason he start a simple chat, asking me why do I need a glow plug, he told that no-one is buying nitro now, just electric, then...

So what did I do? Cancelled all appointments for today, need to dig in to this yellow happiness....

This will be a TRX1 built with modern electronics and setup for modern tracks. I am still trying to learn all of the intricacies of the TRX1 cars, but I know I lucked out with the donor car I bought for this build. The donor was built quite well, and had some really nice upgrades already. I could ha...

I don't know these cars well, so this may be a dumb question. Is that the AE stealth transmission? Or was the Traxxas that similar? My first thought when I saw that was did Traxxas sue AE for pre-emptively copying their design :lol: Hey. No, it's not a Stealth transmission. However it sure looks si...

^ Chewbacca - Thank you for your suggestions. Like my other modern racer builds, I will build it up to be as capable and track ready as I can. This includes making sure connections are bind free, slop free, lightened where possible, and strong enough to run. Whether I will ever get it to the track t...

With help from TRX1-3, I believe the aluminum rear pivot blocks are made by Fast Lane. The wing mounts are Revolution. The outdrives are Traxxas. I don't know who did the front carbon brace. I built up some nice FT shocks. I thought the Kashima bodies would fit well with the color of the motor plate.

Do the pictures all have to be good?

Looks like it might be a nut cracker, just in time for Christmas.

Which wheels are you thinking about? I see these JC Racing wheels for Traxxas that explicitly say in the listing "do not fit the TRX-1", which perplexes me. What do they fit, then? I have these wheels that came with the donor. I believe they are Traxxas? I was thinking of dying them black...

Looks like it might be a nut cracker, just in time for Christmas. :mrgreen: Looking back on this statement, I meant it is a close battle. Reading it today made it sound like I might be predicting victory. Some jokes just don't land... :oops: Way too close to call and a good battle going! Good luck ...

Feeling a bit nostalgic last night. Sitting with my elderly dad while my mom attended a Christmas party. Decided to get a pic from my old bedroom window. I remember listening to "The top 10 at 10" and looking out my bedroom window at the lights around town. Amazing how little has changed i...

Underoos. Now your spank bank is full.

We had team there from Hawaii, Arizona, Washington, Nevada, Utah annd New Mexico. Our 12 year old from Hawaii won the even...
