I like how your graphics turned out. The little dragster is especially cool.

I know it's not conducive to getting a good run with a scale-ish RC, but to my eye this beast is screaming for some rubber rear slicks that balloon up when the motor is gunned just like 1:1 scale dragster wrinkle wall slicks.

OK I'm loving this:-

Once I've finished my other million and one projects I want to put something like it together.

My question is this, I think the TXT that this is based on is out of production (which as we know = pricey = not good for a...

e.g.

:wink:

I bet the reserve is at least 500$ as he said he has over 2k into this....

i never claimed it was a bargain... just that it looked the part of a monster truck with the grave digger body and all.

I picked up this truck tonight for $50, which I believe is an RC10GT, but I do not know for sure. Assuming I am correct, do these truck motors run on the newer 20% Nitro fuel or an older type fuel-like airplanes? Engine has .15 on side. and the Team...

Great price, its a RTR RC10gt. Fun truck. Use car 20%. Probably best to pick up a spare glow plug while your at the store.

Took it out today and it was definitely fun with 2wd and a brake...it made 27mph. Skill required to race this thing for sure!

So I was going through some cabinets the other day and found a bottle of years old nitro fuel I forgot I had. As I recall, it has a short shelf life, even though it was still sealed and inside a cabinet. I don't even want to try to seeing if it...

What others have said. Also, you could mix it in with any used motor oil you might have, before taking the oil to the local Quick Oil Change/auto store for recycling.

I like that idea, may go with that. Thanks.

I have Kyosho Landmax 2, gonna change from a OS 8 glow plug to OS R5 glow plug.
Which nitro percentage do you recommend? I have to lean the engine very very much under the limit to get motor to pull properly!
Outside temperature is about 68...

I've got a bunch of old Kyosho Burns and Inferno tanks that I would like to clean up/restore. The all have the green gunk in them. I could clean some of it all but not all.

Does anyone have an easy solution to clean these old tanks up? I notice...

If you put in some alcohol and some BB's and shake it really good that might work.

Recently I picked up a used RC10GT. It's a red bodied truck with a blue frame. The previous owner insisted it worked, but hadn't been touched in well over a year, and might need some work getting it running again. On a whim, I picked it up making it...

probably a rechargeable Nicd pack. Probably not an issue. Actually, alkalines have a slightly higher working voltage, so it might benefit you, 6v pack vs 4.8v, unless the pack was a 5 cell pack.

as long as it works ok and gives you good range, it...
