DEAD POOL Vette

Post by Lou0151 »

Hi all,

I have been lucky enough to acquire a Dead Pool RC10 project car that is mostly complete. I want to finish it off with all the right bits to bring it as close as possible to the original car documented to a certain degree at the links below my questions.

So a few questions:
1. Does anyone here know the type/model of ESC and servo used in the original car? (looks like a Futaba to me)
2. Are the front tires custom grooved or were they an off-the-shelf product?
3. Does anyone know the correct material for the body mounts (L/R/& Rear) and front bumper?

Thanks in advance...

1) Probably a Futaba 112b esc and Futaba s131s servo.

2) You could get tires that were pre-grooved, so it's hard to say if they came like that or they did.

3) Kydex

Scr8p,

Thank you, I appreciate your response. I am pretty sure I have the very esc and servo in a box round here someplace. Now need to find some Kydex.

Cheers
