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

So this was technically yesterdays post, turned a childhood dream into a reality, double…………..

Bought some blue bling "downgrades" and titanium front axles for the RC10T4 that will be setup for on-road use. But that little extra weight might actually help it stick to the pavement slightly better. Anyway, not too worried about adding a bit of weight because I'm certain I'll put a stupid fast, slightly over-powered motor/esc in it.

This is technically from the past week. Excited to now start my second long wheelbase XX buggy.

A set of used B4 CVDs came today. Surprisingly, they also came with a pair of the blue axle spacers. Cool, one more vehicle will get a set.

Some big bead-lock wheels (with a bazillion small screws) for the Jeep.
I ordered these exactly two weeks ago and, coming from China, I didn't expect to see them until the end of the month. Very happy they arrived so quick.
Anyway, the wheels appear to be very well made and parts have a high quality ano finish -- very nice.

High quality and China describing the same item. There's something you don't hear every day
Anyhow, those do look sharp.

I got a hauler bag and a bunch of containers to store my stuff in an organized way.
It looks nice so far and is pretty spacious.

I nice little collection of Trinity motors came today. Also 6 sets of terminated brushless motor wires arrived. I was happy to find these because I'm having trouble finding blue/orange/yellow silicone insulated wires in a size smaller than 12AWG. The 12AWG wires are a bit oversized for some of the connectors I use. 14AWG is much easier to work with.

It is. My collection is smaller than most,but still all over different bins and boxes and the like. I think this will consolidate most of it though I think that the Gravity RC Ultimate Parts carrier is the real MVP. I have been able to empty 2 of my other parts carriers into this. It's so much better than bins.

Today's very healthy haul. My T3 and B3 are getting some love.

Ayk Super Trail front and rear shocks destined for my SRB FF build and some Bolink steering knuckles .

An Associated RC250 club racer from Oregon. It comes with a custom aluminum top radio tray instead of the traditional fiberglass or plastic. Its equipped with an .21 OS RF engine with slide valve carb. This will be a nice restore project. I have new spur gear and bumper on the way.

JRX-T..... I've wanted one since I was a kid!

I would love another JR-T. Built one from parts a few years ago. Built my first in 1988.

I could build another right now, NIB would be fantastic.
