RC10Talk - The Net's Largest Vintage R/C Community

btw "so if you know his name please insert thx" the person who is creating the RC Museum and displayed the fruits of his labors at this RCX show is Romulus. He is an amazing guy and you saw all the greats came to see his display and visit with him, awesome that someone is trying to preserve the early RC history while the people who lived it are still here to see it and help in its creation.

first thing i said to myself is what the heck is on eustace's head. lol

eustace and cliff, i would have talked their ears off.

i hope you told them to check out rc10talk!

what was up with the shocks on it
it was a very clean car just could not figure what was up with the shocks
farmer

Must be airshocks

Not sure what you mean by "what's up with the shocks" .

The shocks have internal springs that's all. I wanted a super clean look throughout and that's simply an element of the design.

i kinda was thinking that
when i asked the guy if that was it he said he didnt know
when i bounced it up and down it felt like air,it is a clean look. and in know way was i degrading it
what shocks are they i did notice the air bleeder on the cap
how did you ,and what did you use to build them
thx farmer

there is a build thread in the vintage rc10 section on it. Was thinkin it had internal springs maybe...

The shocks are standard issue RC10 that were painted & clear coated. The caps are the bleeder type from Associated that racers use on their SC10's, B4.1s etc. The shock shafts are from the Thunder Tiger Phoenix buggy (basically a B3). The springs inside the bodies are from the LOSI Mini T. Even though it could be run, it was meant to be a shelf queen so I didn't put any shock oil in them so that's why it is springy with no dampening. I had my friend at custom Metal Works build that TEKIN stand for it.

There's over a year and a half of working on that buggy on and off. It was my gift to TEKIN for all their support when we first opened the shop in 2009.

It's all good Farmer. I don't think you were disparaging the car. I posted my reply using my phone so I just typed that up really fast .

What motor did you put in that buggy?

This motor....


Is a brand new Kyosho LeMans Pro High Speed. Originally I wasn't going to leave that motor in there but it looked great mounted up and just seemed to be appropriate for the car.... everything else on the car was top shelf so the motor should be too I thought.

Absolutely top shelf! Cool idea with the internal springs.
