I tried the B4 rear hubs on the stock rear arms with the wheel spacers and I pulled them off later that day. I didn't like that combo. I was much happier with using the stock rear end with the B44 rear cva's and bearings but with the Thunder Tiger rear wheels. Now I'm running the longer RPM world's rear arms on the stock arm mounts with the stock hubs but with B44 cva's and flanged bearings, along with the wheel spacers and it's perfect. I originally ran the same front combo as you but have since gone to the RPM world's front arms. I still use the B4 steering parts and wide GT axles though. It just got too hard to find good 2.0 tires. Now that I've gone 2.2 with modern electronics, I'm never going back!

Red: Metalic red from Pactra. I applied it heavier in the front than the back. That way when I backed it with black the red gets darker towards the back for a subtle color effect).
White: Pactra Pearl white backed with racing white.
The richness of these colors and the metallic/pearl look don't show up in the iPhone photos. Maybe one day it will get a studio session with the 5D and lights.
I stumbled across RC10talk and found it to be full of great information compared to some of the other sites. My search started as I got this bug of wanting a RC10 from my childhood. The infamous gold tub. I remember great times with...

Wow that's a clean shelf car for sure. You got a good deal, with original shell, driver and decal set. Awesome!
I am a 41 year old living in Raleigh, North Carolina, who has just gotten the RC bug again. My first hobby grade RC car was a Tamiya Hotshot in 1986. In 1987 I got an RC10 from Tower Hobbies in NYC. Which I still have in the...

Welcome!!!
I'm a Toys R Us kid... 'cause I don't wanna grow up...
Thought I’d share a picture to the group of a Mini Mustang I had as a kid back in roughly 1989 I reckon, body was a bit different.
I bought the car as a kid secondhand from a local bloke who had bought but not gotten on to well. I stripped and...

As has been mentioned above... use a modern sponge insert to reduce or remove the flat spot.... unless it is for the shelf, in which case, it is only flat on the bottom!!!
The Dynamite tyres were overlooked in the UK a little i think, which is...
I am going to do my first build third with pics as I go. This is going to be a replica of the Hornet I used to race in my teeny years, as best as I can remember it. I have a couple of old photos that I need to scan and I also have some video I need...

alright, i'm gonna let you slide on this one. have fun reliving your younger years. :)
I've mentioned this a couple times in other threads but, my brother had been storing my childhood Blackfoot for the last 20 years or so and I just found out he had it about a year ago. Got it back from him last Thanksgiving and went over it to...
When I was round 11/12 yrs old I got into RC buggy racing at a local hobby shop/track with a gold pan RC10 that I bought with my summers mowing income. I sold it in my late teens when real cars and girls became the focus of life. I built the chassis...

Updated car pics and shots of my vintage chargers. Mike
I was sorting through all the various things I have stored and came across my old rc-car. I have 2 (one was my brother's) RC10's with the gold tub. I think they are the Championship Edition from around '89-'90. Both cars are the same, with...

No and Yes.
the axles you show are front axles, and they won't fit the CVD.
these are B4 rears:
and the CVD's rebuilds look right.
You could also in theory just use the B4 axles with your existing dogbones if you wanted to get the car up and...
I first caught glimpse of the JrX2 in 1988 at the age of 13 when a kid roughly my age was running one up and down the street at my aunt's home. I was familiar with R/C at the time having received my first hobby grade vehicle in '86 as a Christmas...

I am pretty sure I have some NIP bellcranks. Hit me up with a PM and I am sure we can work something out.
They made it all the way out to Okinawa Japan today :) And there were even a couple bonus items; thanks a bunch!
