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

I concur on having the subforums on their own for the same reasons mentioned. More likely to catch more traffic and interest I think.
I haven't gone through all of them but if there's any which makes sense to leave as-is, please speak up.

Cleaned, rebuilt and tested some Reedy motors today. Tri-Sonic "Y" 10x3 w/6* deg, Tri-Sonic "C" 13x3 w/6* deg, Firehawk 27x1 24* deg. stock (now with bearings), Krypton 10x2 w/6* deg, Krypton 7x1 w/6* deg (no label), Titanium 10x2 w/6* deg, and Platinum 12x1 w/6* deg. Resized_202...

Probably bytedance, gov't pissed them off

KO Propo RSx2 servo and V2 slipper for the RC10 B4 build.

Sweet truck, the red looks great. Do you have plans for an esc and receiver? XL-1 with red heatsink would be a nice touch. Awesome motor choice by the way.

On another note. Have you added shock and diff fluid to yours? Mine had nearly no shock fluid at all when new. Don't remember if I added fluid to the diffs, but I think I did when the shocks were done.

Charging this little ripper. Only car I own that I actually drive. 🥴 These little suckers are actually quite a hoot to toy with, not to mention tough as nails. I accidentally launched this baby down 8 feet of concrete basement stairway and didn't phase it one bit except for a broken rear wing. Ther...

Bought some B6 parts to begin an experiment with the B4.

I've been wanting to do a 12mm spring conversion on my T4.3 runner. Think I have a set of 12mm truck springs to if I remember right.

Been working on this B4 FT build here and there lately with a mix of used but mostly new parts. Used parts are the chassis, front carbon arms, both shock towers, rear blue aluminum hub carriers and blue titanium turnbuckles. Put on some 12mm B6 shocks, aluminum steering knuckles & wide front axl...

I've been really needing one of these. Just ordered one. Thanks for posting.

What are thoughts regarding a hardened steel idler gear like the Robinson Racing idler? Just now noticed that one.

Anyways, I'll be keeping the stock nylon idler in the brushless T4 runner. The aluminum unit will be installed in one of the B4 or T4 shelfers.

It is 4 pole and slightly heavier at 216g compared to the 211g Reedy 3300kV 4 pole motor that it came with.

Are there advantages/disadvantages running an aluminum idler gear? Please post your opinions and/or experiences. I recently just picked up an aluminum idler gear for a 2.6 trans on ebay. It can be used in my RC10 T4 brushless basher or in a shelf queen. My original thought was it would have an advan...

Happy Easter all.

That's cool. My brother and I had a 905 series unit. I'm half tempted to buy one for old times' sake.
