Loved the way this conversion looks with use of the b5m waterfall mount integrated into the battery strap. https://www.rc10talk.com/download/file.php?id=111080&mode=view Thinking of doing the same on mine. I like he clean look but it seems to take up some extra space. But, I wondered about chas...

yup motor plate is cheap and easy .and as far as setup you can either run a shorty lipo pack , or do some custom 3d printing and use full size packs lol. here is one of my e converted gts Based on those pics, the motor and chassis are going to interfere if I use the RC10 buggy chassis. So the extra...

I may have access to one of these that is in really good condition but I doubt the engine is usable. It seems that this chassis shape would hinder an E-conversion. But I also have a spare RC10 original buggy chassis. Does it make sense to combine these two and try to build a mid-motor RC10T?

I saw one of these for sale as part of an RC lot. If the body hadn't been painted red I would consider making it my first shelf dweller. I assume its an original, it has a mechanical speed control and just looks the part. I remember this car being nothing short of an obsession for me when I was 10-1...

Got it all back together and took it for a test run. I think the diff is slipping and was planning to loosen the slipper and maybe tighten the diff. But I decided to run it for a while and just be very gentle on the throttle. It is fast and maybe a little over-geared of over-motored for my track. Bu...

New gears, new bearings and this thing is silky-smooth. Diff certainly leans toward the butter end of the usability spectrum.

Would be ready to roll if I hadn't decided to improve the front end "a little". That little quickly turned into a lot but I'm getting there.

The top shaft is here and there is very little radial play in the bearings. I am pleased with that. But, as I expected, there is too much wear and backlash in the other two gears to expect things to work(for long anyway). I see RC10, RC10T and RC10GT gears, are they interchangable? Mine has the idle...

Interesting question. I would guess that higher voltage would be more efficient but I wonder if the added efficiency isn't offset by the added weight of the battery. Higher voltage and lower current should equal less energy lost heat because of resistance. This is almost totally a guess but feel lik...

At our little backyard track, we don't have shelf queens. If it is capable of running it will run. One of my old race buddies and Brother has an original XX that I am sure is just sitting on a shelf/box somewhere around his house. If parts are available still and it can be powered by a mild brushles...

Chaos You may still want to check the diff With the pinion off the motor (testing the trans only), rotate 1 wheel while holding the other wheel still. This can give you a reasonable assesment of the diff's status. New rings and balls should be quite smooth. If taken apart, a fingernail dragged acro...

Thanks Bluewormx, searching ebay WITH that number 6571 showed three options that seem perfect. I had searched many different wordings but didn't know the part number.

Top shafti is on its way...

Here ya go Traxxas, chew on this Huanqi 727 Slash “clone”. Besides the electronics, color of parts and tires/wheels it’s identical. But....it was $132 shipped to my door I just needed a rig for mock up. This fit the bill a lot better than $400. Sorry Traxxas. Less greedy and I would have bought you...

Thorp 64P idler and diff gears rarely surface, and the factory stealth 48P steel topshaft will easily handle a brushless mod motor. But I can't find the factory top shaft either :cry: Hi Chaos Guess I should first ask if you have had the trans apart... And if so... I could be wrong but a stealth tr...

4 turbo , this is an additional kick of timing that comes on at full throttle only and after an adjustable delay . For me on vintage cars dialing down the punch and having adjustable breaks are the most useful . I have a non-turbo Trackstar SCT-120 and have been very pleased with it. Always wondere...

I recently installed a modest 2S brushless system in to a stealth-equipped RC10 and hoped that the trans could handle it. I think it might if the bearing, gears and even the top shaft wasn't worn. Under full power, it will skip a tooth occasionally. My first thought was that the bearings were too fa...
