Re: RC10 Classic 40th anniversary
Finally uploaded my shakedown run from last week. It actually handles really good on carpet! https://youtu.be/yvimCUvuU9s

Consistency is the key I keep misplacing.

Re: RC10 Classic 40th anniversary
Chassis 1506 reporting in.
Next to an original, the 40th is outstanding, really smooth suspension and gearbox - looks incredible.
Wasn't sure on this when I preordered it, after reading up on the 2013, and CC, but the 40th is the one to have, well done AE.

Re: RC10 Classic 40th anniversary
Looks great and I agree with your comments.
The 40th is very well made; parts are clean, precise and beautifully finished.
I was reluctant to order one at first but now I'm happy I did.
Mine is #2045.

Re: RC10 Classic 40th anniversary
Thanks! Glad you're enjoying #2045!
I was hoping more people would show off their builds in here, or make threads for them. I understand the body is a lot of work, and not everyone may be done with them yet - but I don't feel like if I've seen one chassis, I've seen them all - in this case.

Re: RC10 Classic 40th anniversary
I’ve been waiting on my window net material to show up. Dropped a Cadillac motor and NiCad pack in to give it some weight. Probably going to call it good enough.

Re: RC10 Classic 40th anniversary
Very Nice! If you don't mind, do you have a chassis pic, and #, you'd share?
Has #0054 been found yet?

Re: RC10 Classic 40th anniversary
I just had the same problemEmptyHand wrote: ↑Sun May 26, 2024 5:28 pm Just noticed that one of my rear stub axles is NOT threaded while attempting to install the rear tire lock nut.
3 of the axles are threaded, this one is smooth.
I opened an AE service request for a new axle and roll pin... will keep everyone updated on what they say.
VERY annoyed as this was the final step in the build and here I am removing e-clips and a roll pin and probably waiting 3 weeks for parts.

Re: RC10 Classic 40th anniversary
For a good second I thought you installed a screw and locknut through the battery holder for some reason.
That sucks though. I’m assuming that snapped someway easily?

Re: RC10 Classic 40th anniversary
Nah, for the picture I sent to AE I put it on the tray for clarity. Yes, was tightening it for the first time with a nut driver and snap.

Re: RC10 Classic 40th anniversary
I stared at it for a lot more than a second.
My initial thoughts:
"I know most of these are shelfers, but I didn't think those guys actually bolted them to the shelf. Oh wait....I see..."

AE sent me a replacement quickly but failed to send a roll pin even though i asked specifically for one. slightly annoyed. I ended up buying one myself to have a few spares.

Let the money grab commence
It's time to stand up to the bully. Support the companies that support the industry, not the ones that tear it down. Say no to Traxxas
