Slash bashn is great iv got two for my boyz and of course Dad has to have one guys go crazy modn these things but there the best stock my boyz run pack after pack in them here is my three[/img][/img]
Congrats on the Slash, RC Chick. My son and I beat on ours pretty much every weekend, and the only thing that's broken so far is one nerf bar. Well, that, and some spur and pinion gears before I figured out the gear cover tape thing you mentioned.
I've heard the epics hold well, but I haven't tried them myself, so I can't say for certain. They sure look cool, tho...
They are coming out with a RTR SC10, but I'm not sure on what it will cost (still has to be higher than a Slash since they're the same price now). I've also read that the SC10 is having gearbox issues in its current form. I'm not sure how the truck was being used when that happened though (hot motor, etc)...
I thought the SC10 used the gearbox of the T4
Surely if something were wrong with the T4 gearbox the people at associated would already know long time about that

The gear diff is the issue, and on a second note...I have been seeing a few snapped SC10 chassis also. Some guys are putting big aluminum skid plates on the nose to save the chassis from snapping. Even the factory drivers at the recent RCX show snapped a chassis on the demo track.
RC Chick...welcome to the slash-ka-teer club. Glad to have ya. I am FINALLY getting my son his custom paintjob I promised him for his birthday back in Feb...Painter sent me a preview, body still has the blue tinted overspray film on it.

I havent cut the Rust-eze logo or numbers out yet, everything else will be paint (eyes, mouth, lightening bolts). I am thinking about having him paint up a Mr. The King for me now...LOL, how funny would that be when we are racing together?

JK- PM me an email address and I'll shoot you some images of the McQueen stickers. They are photos off of a toy-- I had the same problem a while back and my wife took pictures of a battery operated toy that my son had. I used vinyl inkjet sticker paper on the inside of the body, but you could experiment with them.
Here's the Monster McQueen I did a couple years ago for my son (5th bday):

I have the logo (in .jpg) and a vinyl cutter, I just need to get yellow & maroon stock to cut the logo out. I will do the numbers in yellow, and my painter will fade the orange on them for me before we stick them on. I will attempt to get it all done before Saturday, our next race. But I fear this is gonna look to good to let a 7 year old thrash on the track.
More shots from my painters camera phone...

That looks great! I misread your post last night at work that you needed stickers (not that you needed to print out the ones you already have)-- 12 hour workdays will do that to ya.
Let him run it-- he'll have a ball!
Sorry RCChick for 'jackin your thread.

My original 1994 RC10CE was resurrected last March, and has been ripped up and redone a couple of times since, but I think I have the final configuration now. Of course, the only original pieces left are the rear buklhead, transmission top shaft and...

I have a full set of arms (wide black front, RPM rear) and arm mounts (black front, 0 degree rear) I don't need. Let me know if you're interested. It would be cool if you could put your original car back together.

My garage has been looking like crap lately. I try really hard to finish my projects I have...but I always end up adding to it with new stuff. So I decided to get a little more organized and put up some pegboard for my rc cars...
Much better now!

Nice! Yeah, it makes a huge difference when you organize your workspace. I did it a few months ago, but it has started to get pretty sloppy again. It might be time to re-overhaul my setup again.
First ever build....The couple I did with my uncle back in the 80's don't count. I might've contributed 2-3% n got on the brothers nerves on top of it.
Man, definitively was fun but caused a lil despair along the way.
I built after a couple...
