- A comprehensive history of my runner '10 -

Post by **Asso_man!** » Mon Apr 23, 2007 12:30 pm

Hi guys,

I decided to build a vintage runner (it's not the first time I attempt to make a real runner, all other projects were finally too nice to be ridden,
this one will for sure see the track

)
with some parts I had left, here's what I came up with.
I just need to put a receiver and a battery and that thing will ride like none, I'm really anxious to see it perform on the track next sunday

Very nice. What kind of treads are those up front?

Man, those look identical to the original Losi stagger block from the JRX2. I wonder which came first?

The car looks fantastic. Too nice for a runner.

My only question is why the old school wing tubes AND the bullet wing mounts on the rear tower?

I'm pretty sure Losi were the first to produce them, amazing tires on most surfaces, now problematic to use because Schumacher still didn't make the same to fit the new larger front wheels...

schumacher still makes thoes stagger rib front tires. U6592 Stagger Rib - Yellow they almost discontinued them until our club sent in a petition of about 100 names to gaurentee them future sales. they tell us that we are the only ones that still buy them so they will continue to make them. my local track is a polished concrete oval inside an indoor archery range and that is the only tire that hooks up on it. oh yea i forgot to mention we run them on the front and the rear. they have unbelievable grip even when they are almost bald they also work on polished wood floors.

The tire info is good to know. I still run my RC10s so I prefer to use tires that are still being made. Using old TQ10 tires is just not feasible.

When I was running my original gold tub, a friend of mine had a HOUGE? Trailing arm chassis for the RC10.

I found the trailing arm back in the day to be great.. it really soaked up little bumps and did not re-act so quickly to harse ruts as the force seemed to be absorbed inline with the direction of the car movement so it would not KICK up the rear end..

GREAT looking ride, and yes I would love to hear how it works.
