Not mine, but my design and parts. Finished by another

I won't vote for anything that isn't outfitted with electronics. But that's just me.

Sad Panda has gotten quite a bit happier Complete tear down and thorough cleaning. New old stock body , decals, driver's seat/compartment, shocks and wheels. Panda branded receiver and Futaba servo and 210 ESC. Front tires are a fairly good match to the originals and the rears are Hornet tires. Hard...

Would someone mind measuring the ID of the springs for Associated 12mm shocks. I bought a set of shocks from a MT10 for a project, before realizing that they aren't standard Associated 12mm shocks. The I.D race of the aluminum shock collar on the shock body is 16mm. The I.D. of the spring itself is...

Yes, they will work.

Today marks the 15th anniversary of RC10Talk. https://i.imgur.com/BNmrw.gif I just wanted to thank everyone for their continued support and contributions in preserving this wonderful hobby that is R/C. More specifically the "vintage" side of it. Some changes will be taking place sometime ...

It just occurred to me that a side bonus of this setup is you can set the voltage real low and use it to break in new motor brushes until they're seated properly.
