I will be following along if you have further updates. That parts list you posted from your orders a few posts ago is super informative. Thanks!
Anytime howaboutme. I will post some further updates when I get the JC diamond nose brace tubes installed, and when I paint the bodies.

I added a little bling bling this evening. Now I can officially say that I have some JConcepts parts on my RC10. :lol:

Thank you RC10th! :D I'm going to try get the Detonator World's body painted soon. Not sure what direction I want to go on it yet. I'd like to stick with an old school theme though.

Looks great!

Can you tell me what the JC diamond nose brace tubes does compared to stock? Besides sexier, is it stronger? I assume a major reason is it's lighter?

Thanks!

In my opinion, just by looking at them...they are a little thicker in O.D. than the stock tubes near the center and at the ends. Given that they are shorter by about 1/2", they are a bit more torsionally rigid than the oem tubes. The reason they are shorter is because JConcepts machined the length of their nose brace tubes to specifically fit the RC10 buggy. The stock tubes will fit the RC10 and the RC10T.

In my opinion, these tubes are definitely an upgrade in strength and weight reduction, as well as looks.

Thanks! That's very helpful.

Part of my research is to figure out why we upgrade. I understand, conceptually, that is is mostly about performance (speed, durability, handling, etc) with some aesthetics added in. But what each component does is what I want to start to get a handle on (there's so much). So appreciate the explanation.

Glad to help. I enjoy sharing what I know, and learning new things about R/C cars with my fellow hobbyist. I'm researching things all the time. Right now I'm learning about cnc.

So Tower had moved the expected date they are going to receive shipment on the Futaba R204GF-E receivers from early-Dec to mid-Dec. I cancelled that back-order and ordered a Futaba R203GF 3-channel Rx from ebay with expedited shipping.

I like that the R203GF has an antenna (unlike the R204GF), so I can keep the vintage retro look of the whip antenna. 8)

Funny..I got the R204GF-E because it has internal....guess i like the cleanliness of no antenna...

I do have the R203GF in my Hotshot. Just note that the antenna is VERY short. I didn't even use the antenna stand in my HS...

I just didn't want to wait for it to be in stock, lol. The antenna is short? I will just have to move the Rx closer to the antenna stay. I remember the old days when antennas were like a foot and a half in length! :lol:

Yeah, the specs say 7.5 inches but looks shorter to me...Because of my Rx location, mine only sticks out about 3" but doubt I have 4.5" inside the chassis....Anyways, I guess it all depends on the Rx location.
