My Futaba FX10... rally?
I just figured I'd come post up here so people can look at some fun pictures!
Futaba FX10 chassis, I don't even know what kind of body this is, but it's old, and really awesome.
I have a whole second FX10 in almost-showroom condition (as well as 3 Tamiya Strikers/sonic fighters), so I figured I'd do something fun!
Onto some pics!
DAT COLOR SCHEME
I made custom body mounts using the front bar from a pancar in the rear mounted to the wing mounts, and a modified rear wing up front (don't worry, I have 6 more) It works quite well.
I just figured this was too nifty looking not to share
I think I'm really going to enjoy putting around with this!
I'll get some video of it for sure when I take it out. It's been raining a lot, so it might be a while

Re: My Futaba FX10... rally?
I think someone did mention it being a bolink somewhere else...
Electronics are all set!
Depending on how this goes, I do have brushed stuff for it, but this was just quick and easy.
Trinity Monster Horsepower 17.5T
it's projects like this that make me wish I had a 21.5T kicking around... I might have to get one.
I ran a 17.5T in one of the Falcons I used to own, and that went alright, and it has the same drivetrain design. I don't expect it to blow up or anything.

I had a lot of fun bitd with a striker. Not a bad entry level car, and pretty darn durable.
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

Re: My Futaba FX10... rally?
Yeah, I've got more strikers than I know what to do with!
The only thing that I really want for this is the CRP camber/front shock tower kit...
but I paid $45 for the whole massive box of FX10's and strikers, so paying $30 for ONE upgrade part for one buggy is sort of tough haha.
I'm running low on spare FX10 arms (only have 4 of them ) , if I break one, I'm going to get the upgrade kit... I've got about 12 striker front arms, though.
I bought all this stuff quite a while ago, and besides building up a Sonic Fighter shelf queen (literally brand new parts, except for the slightly scratched and box-o-parts worn unpainted bod and chassis), I never really did anything with these.
I had a TON of fun with the 2 Falcons I used to own, but someone gave me an offer for those that I couldn't refuse, so I sold them, and then shortly after, bought all this stuff.
I've been busy lately, and haven't RC'd much, I'm hoping to get back into it and have some fun!

Re: My Futaba FX10... rally?
I really enjoyed your video
Brought me back to when I was a kid...my first car was a FX10!
Forgot how much they bounce around!
Continue to have fun with yours, looks cool

Back at again because of a phone call..."Hey, how do you adjust those old Novaks?"
