If you intend to run the 6 gear tranny, I'll suggest that you go on with the mod. It'll be alot smoother and you will have longer running time on the idler gears. I've done that on my 6 gear tranny and no regrets. PS: As long as you are not gearing...

I would think you should be able to find any part that you might be missing rather easily, especially if you continue to participate in this forum, and get enough posts that you can use the B/S/T section.

None so far. I don't plan to depart with them, at least for now. This model, I think is 100% complete. Don't know if you saw a partial picture of it, but I also have the original unpainted body including the wing and the interior piece. I raced this...

Oh, and universals--even though you would think dogbones :wink:

Good idea. As I think about it I will modify the heck out of the gold pan car with whatever modern parts and custom stuff I feel like attaching to the pan and keep the graphite one pretty much as it is and run it with protective film.

At least...

In the instructors defense, despite bad attitude adjustments, mechanical vernier scales are the most accurate measuring devices. The digital units are nice and handy but can often be off by a couple thousands and are generally frowned upon for high...

I didnt get into rc cars til i got out of Dessert Storm in 1991.And didnt know the cars were that old allready,i thought they were recent then.They were every where then!!!!!!!.DON
PS:ONLY IF HAD A TIME MACHINE id be RICH NOW!!!!!!

finally got the wing...still debating on a paint job prob gunna jus call it done

for me........I would say absolute vintage & modernized vintage ..........

absolute vintage is everything period-correct & matched............ mainly as a shelf-queen most of the time.........

modernized vintage will be those adding currently...

Ive just restored one and now showing these B4s why it is such a good car. This is the best carpet racing buggy ive ever driven. Ive added a 200 g flat brass batt plate so i can better balance the car with my Lipos. Fibrelyte in the uk does the...

Little update. I tried a castor block mod today, hoping it would allow for a vertical adjustment on the front end. In my particular situation it won't work. So to all of you who are thinking about it, don't bother unless you are running in a...

I was a little concerned about quality with them. They seem to have good feedback on Ebay though? I agree on the price, seems like a pretty good deal.

Ratio is not different the Instruction sheet is different, sorry if I was not clear. Richie had mentioned the posted instructions did not look like the ones he received with his LW2. All our LW's use the same gears (pulley's) and all have a 2.22...

buy the viper body. it is similar to the body you are missing. the missing body is called protech II and is discontinued/rare UNFORTUNATELY.
I have that kit with black parts NIB. Came with the viper body.

The instruction manual that I found...

That's very cool of you to do. What goes around, comes around.

Good to hear you got it worked out.
Since it does fit in so tight,
it will be the last thing to fall out when doing cartwheels !!!!!

Yeah, it is a little narrower that a B3. I have klien arms , b44 CVDS , GT carriers , B4 axle spacers on it. So it should be the same as a rc10. For now its going on the shelf until I get a body figured out for it. The B3 body won't work even if I...

That's cool you should try plugging the battery straight into the 110v wall socket to charge it. I think thats how he intended it to be done. Let me know what happens when you get out of the hospital...

:?: Really :?: :lol:

Ya worth a try. I know they were dumping those on their close out site for a while.

I gotta say that I'm surprised that some small company has started doing this for the entire industry. Isn't something like this done for real cars (vintage, much older, etc)? What's the difference between genuine and replica except price and the...

I ordered one on the bay, and it came in a bag with a card and a packed by card...

Thats where mine are at :roll: NICE BUILD Paul...............

I got a few white servo mounts too!!! Don

OK, that is close to what this wheel is, .9 or around 23mm.

thanks for the info!

What rims are you going to go with? I kind of think those black ones look pretty good with that green. It is bright. If you ever race it, you wouldn't lose track of it in the shuffle. :mrgreen:
Almost looks like the new Dodge sublime color. Testors...

Here's a few links.......

personally, i would just get a standard buggy tower and call yourself done, instead of looking for that mcallister lower shock mount. mainly because your missing the mcallister center shock mount, too. but i'll look through my stuff to see if i have...

Thread ressurection. Stripped the stock spur on one of my gold pans. Will this spur work (and if not, which one)?

has the parts you need. when you go to their site, in the left hand column, click on the r/c car. then click on associated. next, click on rc10 rpm, and there will be the front tower. if you click on rc10 (early models), in there will be the rear...

too bad someone chopped off the left side of the chassis.

i'd put a hinge at the front, and then make some standoffs for the rear with multiple holes so it can be adjusted up or down.

by the way, that's an ascot cage, not a bbt.

man...makes my $40.00 (well used) team B2 seem pricey!!! Nice score. I gotta hit these thrift stores....

I tell ya, I hear all these stories of these thrift store/yard sale buys.....all I ever see is lamps and broken vacuum cleaners and other house...

HELLO I wish I did . I am only picking up use parts from others. I have been lucky latly on parts. I just sit and wait untill I hear about something. A wile back about year ago some one had pictures of an oval RC 10 that I use to build mind.
I wish...

Hey rust bucket I saw one on e-bay like what you are talking about doing. It had a full sprint body and wings, and had a stock gold pan chassis. He has a few pictures of it, so it should show what you are thinking of doing. It is item number:...

Maybe some threaded silver with red springs :?: 60MM LMK

Took teh car to the track today. As usuall i had some issues. Nothing that cant be fixed with some fresh batterys. I have to admit the new chassis handles pretty good.

sweet! And some say a rc10 can't compete with the B4, yeah-right!

Nice buggy. Brand new white parts look sweet. Makes want to tear down my goldie and clean the parts.

Metal ring will face towards the mounting screws. Or be on the right side of the spur when looking from behind.
~D

Thanks!

Anytime!

Super sweet action shot! Welcome back.. :)

I am also a recovering RC addict that has recently picked up a RC10.

1st step:
I recognize I have a problem.... but I don't care. :shock:

Update 2/2/2011
I now have a complete tricked out XXXT-MF2 and a Mildly modded Stampede electric truck.......

Bumping my own thread here. :P

I think I got pretty close (thanks to Jim at Winning Edge Design) to a reincarnation of my childhood RC10 with color scheme and Bud's bi-level wing. I don't think I'll go down the path of removing the aluminum...

congrats 8)
can I see some pics of front bulkhead?

:D
