Vintage AE & I Got 870c Runners!

[vintage AE]

thanks guys, it's the design with the silver waves and red back drop, but it doesn't matter now, I'm going to go with a different layout.

Here is a hint, BUT with colours from another popular yokomo...that's all I'm saying. It will be the same body as the one in the photo.

Rod, are you going to paint yours in your traditional race design? I think that would be cool if you did.

[slotcarrod]

Yes, the runner will be in my colours!

I got my cars from VAE this weekend, and have been sportin wood since!

No Reg.... You can't have it! .... Waiting for the rear belts from Reg so I can finish the modded one! That's the one I'm all horny about!

[vintage AE]

got the rear belts Rod, thanks Reg

I also got myself a front bumper and some parts so I can swap out drive shafts from full-time to part-time 4wd if I want. I just need a shaft and the original white spur gear/rear gear. I think I have the rest of the parts that make up the assembly.

That's some excellent build quality there.

Great Anthony! Thanks Reg!


On a different note. Where did you find a gold nose plate for a 10T?

[vintage AE]

That's not gold...it's yellow, just not as yellow as the neon yellow RPM ball cups I just put on. The photo was taken prior to the Lunsford and RPM upgrade

maybe this will refresh your memory

[slotcarrod]

I see!

Any progress with getting your 870c up and running?

[vintage AE]

Not yet, but the painter got the body, under tray and wings today

I'm working on the electronics now, and just wondering how people were mounting the servo???

Are people using CA glue, because I cant see double sided tape working very well with a 4wd buggy. Maybe one should drill a couple holes in the chassis and use mounting posts

I use double sided numberplate tape from eBay. Never had a problem with a servo working loose. I Always use hi speed/torque KO servos.

I searched "double sided numberplate tape" on ebay and came up with nothing. Any chance you can find a link to it so I know what I'm looking for.

The 3m VHB tape has held every high speed digital servo perfectly every time.
