Re: My Gold Pan Runner
Thanks, I like it as well! The weather has been very good in Calgary this weekend, and I was able to run both days. I must have put 24 packs through it and my RC10T2. I ran my SC10 once, got it dirty and put it back in the carry box. Pulled out the vintage cars and never stopped! My Gold Pan is so much fun! The Hydradrive works very well, and that's hard for me to say about a Losi product! I have never used a Hydradrive until this car!Jeep-Power wrote:I like it!slotcarrod wrote: Um.....Yes!.....It's called natural weight reduction. Like F1, before the blocks were used!

Re: My Gold Pan Runner
Great looking RC10, love the paint job. Looks like it's been a pretty good work horse. I do the same sometimes, I end up running my vintage stuff more then my new stuff, I can't wait to get my newly acquired Gold Pan up to running condition and let it rip out on the track. Starting to get warm here as well, time to go out and check the condition of the track and get some batteries charged up!

Re: My Gold Pan Runner
This looks like a great fun buggy, well used but still highly affective! For me this is what being into Vintage R/C is all about, sure its lovely to have a pristine example of your favourite model sitting on the shelf.... but theres far more enjoyment in using them like they were intended

Re: My Gold Pan Runner
My goal is to have a pristine example of every type of RC10 sitting on the shelf, and then a runner of each type! I do enjoy running one more than looking at a mint one. Even though that's fun too!DerbyDan wrote:This looks like a great fun buggy, well used but still highly affective!

Re: My Gold Pan Runner
I have extra rear YZ10 wheels that I want to use on my RC10 runner? The adapters don't look the same as the ones from the YZ10, are they specific for the RC10? Got info on that (part #, etc.)? I'm using Team Car universals and hubs. Is there anything else that I need? TIA!
Edit: Found the adapters!

Re: My Gold Pan Runner
The adapters are not the same as the YZ10 they are RC10 specific made by Yokomo for a 1/4" axle. Not sure on the part # off hand! They are a little hard to find but I'm sure you can find some here or on eBay, sooner or later!Bimdapogs wrote:I have extra rear YZ10 wheels that I want to use on my RC10 runner?

Just seen your edit, happy you found some, they are cool but a bit heavy!

Re: My Gold Pan Runner
Thanks for the reply. So there's nothing else needed aside from the adapters, correct?
How's the tire choice with using these wheels? Almost all tires now are 2.2". I have 3 pairs of these wheels with mounted tires but don't know where to buy replacements after.

These Losi tires fit and work like a charm! http://www.losi.com/Products/Features.aspx?ProdId=LOSA7378S

Re: Gold Pan Runner by Slotcarrod
I have had this runner for a long time as you can see from my original post, and I thought I would like a original 6 gear short arm runner. So I converted my mostly Worlds in to a 6 gear.
