i was wondering if someone who has some old issues of rcca could find the ad for one of these for me. i know it'll probably be impossible to find the kit, but if i remember right, the ad had the part numbers in it. it was a double deck graphite chassis. that's really all i remember about it. any help, i'd appreiciate it. thanks in advance.
ps - i think it was in mid 90's issues. 94,95, somewhere in there.

There's a double deck graphite ss at my lhs. I doubt it's for sale as the shop has tons of old rc's literally hanging on the walls in a make-shift display of dirty, well-used bits of rc history. The only shelf queens are the latest models for sale. The owner primarily sells Tamiya but brings out some Associated goodies for me once in a while.
i actually found a couple of the pieces for it. but, i need a scan of the add to get the rest of the numbers. i couldn't find much of anything on hpi's website.

what really ticks me off is i had every rcca issue, from oct. 90 until oct. 04, and i chucked every one of them in a dumpster when i moved out of one of my apartments. i just got tired of moving them. at the time, i didn't think i'd need them.
They do suck to move - When they arrived in the mail my mailman was not happy with me for a long time - two boxes weighing 48 pounds each! But they do come in handy when looking for part numbers and old articles!!!!

oh, well.....................
Yep I did the same thing. They just suck to move more than once. Im an idiot. I could reread those mags a million times and still enjoy them. I think I still have some old Tower catalogs which is sweet to have for part #'s, but dont ask me where they are.
it's funny though. i can remember so much of the stuff that was in them, just from looking at them so much. the only reason i think i tossed mine was i got sick of every issue being about nitro cars and trucks, touring cars, and t-maxxes. i let my subscription run out after 14 years, and out they went. if i would have kept my subscription, i bet i'd still have all of them.
I think I'm going to fab me a 10L chassis, I'm not going to include the normal ten battery slots, I'm thinking I'm going to try a brush-less version so I'll have to figure out how to accommodate the newer battery type.
Any suggestions...

OK, I took the advice from littleVETTE and lighten up the chassis by removing material directly underneath where the Lipo's would nest.
I also modeled up an Associated front bumper and body posts to do a fit check.
I have a fiberglass chassis for an RC10L and it's in pretty good shape. It has a few scratches on the bottom and top but nothing to deep. I've read that you can wet sand it and then clear coat it some how. Is this possible? Has anyone done this...

I have had some luck with wet sanding and clear paint. It takes some time and skill to do it right but you can get decent results.
how old is this chassis and also is it uncommon or are there alot of these floating around. im not worryed about the value/how rare etc just curious if many are around. i have a chance to purchase an rc10 and an rc10l with a composite craft chassis....
this is just a test run. :D In the future i will be making them out of BLUE G10 and the 69 will not be cut through. This was a mistake that i fixed.
I will also be designing some kind of battery strap holder that i am dreaming up in my head. Still...
I'm liking the truck quite a bit. My RTR Blitz will probably be sold.

I didn't want a RTR kit or electronics, and to upgrade to a ball diff, Vevlet shocks and then buy an unpainted body and my own wheels and tires, the cost was more than an upgrade to the SC RTR kit, and I still wouldn't have all of the bells and...
I'm new to the hobby and Have a Nice factory team rc10t3 what would i need to buy to convert it to brushless. I'm on a budget also. I'm going to be doing some racing with it and alot of back yard racing on my track.
Also planning on getting a t4...

You don't need to do anything special to run a brushless system in your T3, I would recommend cleaning and rebuilding your tranny.
I would recommend starting with something like a 17.5 or 13.5 sensored motor and a really good ESC woulld be a Novak...

Looking for a diagram or instruction for the 48 pitch gear internal conversion for the old six gear. I think MIP made it but I could be mistaken. Trying to breath life back into an old friend. Thanks

I have the complete thorp 48p setup and the outdrive bearing mod (with inner bearing removal from outdrives) in my red pan/American flag rc10 build. There are faqs on it in the temple tech section if you search.
Dude you're scaring me
