I remember seeing ads for this back when they came out. They were for Clods right? I thought it was kind of a dumb idea and incredibly cool at the same time!
The ball was not included in the kits, it was a hobby shop item only.
I googled "clod" and the Wiki definition is this,
Clod: {noun} What's left in the wake of a set of Proline 8086 Stubbie tire that is covering the
front of the competition.
or
Clod: {noun} Halgar and Lowgear, after eating 20lbs of bacon one morning together both died of an acute "clod" in the femoral artery last month, on the same day.
Rod, ( I say in my best Canuck accent') I think it's too cold up there and your brains have frozen to the inside of you forehead eh--you better go get some Pouteen before it stays that way.

Watch out
"High Voltage" none the less, how shocking!
Brians? Where? Just a small freeze, it will thaw quick! Pouteen? Thats from the wrong side of Canada (Quebexico ) I'm from the West. It's like you calling one of your "Good Ol Boys" a "Yank"!

You telling me that Mike Meyers is only the President of Canada in the East, and that the only ones who eat, sleep and drink Pouteen are the Ontario folk? C'mon Where is RC10Eh when you need him!
Just picked this little beauty up at a local garage sale this morning. The guy who sold it to me said that it used to belong to his son and that it had not been used in many many years. You can see it still has bits of mud stuck to it from it's last...

That looks sweeet! highwayracer.
I need to get on the ball regarding my RC10 Hot Trick build. It will probably get started in the fall or winter as I am very busy now.
Oh man, this brings back memories. Had their thin fiberglass chassis and trailing arms on my RC10 way back when before coming to my senses and getting a Composite Craft graphite chassis and A&L trailing arms. :lol:
Back in the days I had one Hot Trick car. My Tamiya Fox got a full Hot Trick conversion, resulting in a dramatic change of appearance, a debatable upgrade in driving characteristics - and confusion of threads in my screw box. Today I have several...

Preliminary assembly to find the right shock set up. The relevant tracks require a ride height at +/- 20 mm. Ending up using 0.71 up front and 1.32 at the rear end.
Finally! Some progress in building/restoration for me. I found, after much searching, a decent Hot Trick chassis to go with all the parts I've collected over the years. The nose plate is not perfect, but I've yet to see another Wide Foot front end...
Did Hot Trick actually get this right? I mean, this is common knowledge now.... But not back then! Based on the literature.... I'm a believer!

But wait....that doesn't look very professional....I mean, Speaker wire? Really?...

He he that's funny but actually more advanced than what I was using bitd , my friend had a Tamiya fast charger , the one with the 15min clockwork timer that plugged into the cigarette lighter in a car , I checked it's resistance and bought some...
on the rc10 arms, the kit uses small phillips head screws, what is exact replacement size. and does anyone think they make a common hex head the same size?
Last post
The screws used to hold the hinge pins are 1/4 4-40. The screws that attach the shock mount to the arm are 3/16 4-40. There are plenty of 4-40 hex bolts you can use as replacements for the Phillips screws, although button heads would be a good...
