here is the start of my runner. I have done some work to it but I still have a few more parts to swtich around on it.
I have a set of composite craft shock towers and battery strap. I have some aluminum turnbuckles and RPM ball cups to replace the worn stock ones. I am also considering using an MIP transmission. The problem I have is that I have to resist the temptaion of tricking this thing out to the point where it's too nice to run.
Quick question, who made this cool bearing holder the transmission
Nice runner. Be sure to give it a clean paint job Nothing beats running your car and telling yourself, "man, not only does this thing run well, it looks SWEET!"
While the car is nice - that Transmitter is DA SHIZZ........man those full house early futaba radios are sweeeeet.
p.s - did you get my email?
p.s.s - the bearing shrouds that I have for the 6 gear are from a company called GOnZO!!!
Cheers
Darryn

The RC10 graphite with the six gear gear box and gold shockers is my all time
favourite RC10.The alloy wheels look great too.I hope It doesn't get smashed up
on the track.
I dig it, but my only (selfish) question is why the big dollar rare Thorp aluminum wing (that you outbid me on) on a runner? A nice $4 Associated lexan wing would do just fine, be period correct and wouldn't have most of us cringing at the thought of that car flipping upside down on an asphalt driveway.
I usually run my vintage runners with care. Eau, I spent quite a bit for that wing only to be dissapointed with the sides being bent all up. That's what makes it perfect for a runner.

That's a good enough reason for me. I think there have been far too many eBay disappointments recently, for my tastes.

The same thing happened to me recently too! I have been adjusting mine gently back to being straight again but it is very annoying and time consuming.
Had a couple builds that are in progress, but it always seems that they turn out too nice to run, and can't seem to find interest in running an old junker. So what better way to break in some NIP parts along with a few other nice ones scattered in...

Bob, run standard front axles with the B4 wheels. The arms were machined to the proper length without having to add the wide axles.
Well i finally found a gold pan buggy to make a runner it a pretty clean a stamp car... 6 gear trans seems ok all the suspension parts have a redish maroon tint to em... Is there any way to make em white? I have heard peroxide? Will the 6 gear hold...

Here's what I'm talking about by cutting the battery cup for hard case Lipos:
Well I've been a member here since 12/08, and until now I haven't yet posted pics of my main project, which I call the Ballertruck - my runner that should be a shelfer!
Some parts used for the build:
Worlds Chassis - found it at a garage sale...

Just found this thread searching for 10t info. This is a cool build. Wonder what happened with it?
Got this from a good mate. It started life as a Ferrari on road racer. A Optima Mid Custom chassis that Kyosho slapped on a nice shell with the cool 5 spoke star chrome wheels. My mate converted it to...

Spent the last couple days on this now.
I installed a new digital servo, Brushless speedie with a 8.5 sensored motor.
The gearing is around the right mark. The platinum shocks aren't that good and too stiff . The rear springs are modded Losi...
Some of you may remember this car others not so much. I have had this one on the shelf for a while and just couldn't stand to look at it no more so I got busy on it. I tore the transmission apart and completely cleaned and re greased it. I did the...

Ok I know this is old and forgotten but I don't wanna start a new one just for my car. SteveKMe and Garry did alot of talking and such before this season and before I moved and lost the internet, had it not been for the 2011 rules for the series I...
That's hilarious! Where did they get the horn thing I wonder?
Post-processing, I'm betting. That video seemed to have a lot of editing and stuff added afterwards...which is something that annoys me sometimes.
Like I really needed this but I just couldn't pass this one up. It's a beautiful boat made of wood made by Vietmanese craftsman toiling under harsh conditons and probably not making more in a day than my can of coke cost from the vending machine....

No doubt man.
We took one of the afternoon lunch tours out in the Intra coastal last year. There was a Chris Craft came up from behind us in one of the channels so I got a real nice look at it. It looked like a Capri or maybe a Riviera. I am not...
