Well while my rc10 is down i swapped it's electrics into the DS. Just a mild Reedy 19t and LRP esc. I'm gonna forget about goin brushless because thing is twitchy and not easy to control. I also think rear is too stiff because there is no traction at all. Not very happy with performance.

I had same twitchiness on my DS with brushed and brushless. I adjusted the exponential steering on both and it was like night to day. big difference. Also kept the brushless setups (I love little maintenance).
What condition are the rear tires in? do they seem a little aged? a little dry rotted? or are they soft and squishy? Im running HPI vintage tires on one ds and the HPI Pirelli rally tires on the other. The rally tires prove to have more grip. I have yet to run the original DS tires.
Tires are new and soft. I did adjust rear stabilizer and took out a shock spacer. I'll test it later. As far as steering goes I don't have those adjustments . Just a Traxxas 2.4 I got off eBay .
I think softer shock springs might be the ticket for better traction. I have not yet run but set up with gold rear, black front. I will give you an update as soon as my tires arrive.
I had a few days off work so took the opportunity get on with some of my R/C projects which included making a start on my new-build JRX2.
First, I dug out all of the parts that i've collected over the years. This collection was started following a...

Sorry chaps! I've only just noticed that this thread got 'bumped up' - unfortunately JRX2 No.3 kinda stopped along with that last post about a year ago.... all the parts are residing in a box ready to be assembled into a car..... which probably...
Now I'm not a big fan of nib collections, I just don't see the point, never have done, until this arrived today. 8)
The fact that it's near perfect, 25 years old, and Senna's car, makes me want to keep it as it is, but that does kinda go...

Hi - given the age of this thread this may be a long shot but I’d hugely appreciate scans of the manual if you happen to have it still, please? I finally retrieved my kit out of the storage unit it was in for many many years and all the parts are in...
i started working on my next what's old is new car, this time using a tub chassis. this will be built for the v-nats, whatever year it is that i get there again. being as though i've never been a 10t fan, i decided to sacrifice the only 10t i have...

Another little update.
Got a set of M4 Proline Primes for this. Seems to be what everyone runs at the track we go to. The car is still working pretty well, I'm fairly happy with it. Current shock setup:
So this thing has been sitting as parts in plastic bags for almost a year, so I decided to build it. :D I still need a bunch of parts to finish it off, but it's a good start. I have some NIP wheels but not enough screws to attach them to the hubs....

it looks great with the new wheels and orion matched batteries. :D
in an unrealistic world... it would be cool if we could all get together and have a build off. start with a nib (vintage) rc10 and see who could build it the fastest and have judges rate it based on how well it was assembled and how much care was...

I'm pretty sure it was aconsola. I'll bet that there's more than a few people that could pull it off.
nope, wasn't me. but i do remember the post. IIRC, he had the sub assemblies like shocks and gearbox already built and just bolted everything up.
I finally got my last Ultima that being a rare NIB Ultima Pro XL.
I now have the whole Ultima line up & most are runners but I never thought my quest for a Ultima Pro Xl would be a NIB. Don't ask why I got a NIB it just turned out that way.
While...

I'll get some pics of it soon to make you even more not jealous . :lol:
