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

The Quad/Dirt Bike groups on FB got intolerable for a bit because there were so many "waffles" where people were trying to get $8000 for a clapped $2000 dirt bike. jsA0YeOPXI8 Total props for this post!! I miss Joel, Tom, Crow, and Gypsy so much!! This series was so much fun to watch!!! :D

For the first half of the day today, I got the shingles on, and I am good with how all that turned out. Then I made a materials trip for flashing and siding for the afternoon, and I just didn't like how the whole flashing thing went, and frustration kicked in, and I am just tired of looking at the w...

Now I know where my RC10T money is actually going! From Mr. Fan: "Many customers have asked, since we have almost all aftermarket parts made, when we would be able to provide complete kit with all FanRc parts. Here is the answer! FanRC graphite worlds kit is now available! Key features, - Quali...

The wife just ran into the hobby room, and was like "it's raining, do you have everything you need covered?" I was like, what are you talking about? There is no chance for rain tonight!!! FML

I think we can officially call this the

I have to think there are more "plays" in this one than the last. Would be interesting to know the specs.

Doesn't matter really, if you want in, you gotta get in!!!

Oh, and I could make a lot of progress on this little project on Saturday ................. but I am hoping to attend my first RC truck/tractor pulling event that day! :mrgreen: They have been trying to have their first spring event for the past six Saturdays or so, but rain and (two) holidays keep ...

I have to be honest, I thought today was going to be "the" day for the RC10T release. Through chat a week ago, RCplanet was supposed to get their inventory and have them for sale today. I was given an inactive link that was going to go active as soon as they had them. They don't even have ...

Nope, you're out of cal!!!!

Touche' on there actually being a cal sticker on it though!! You got me!

Just a thought. Could you use 2x6 joist hangers all the way across the wall and delete the beam altogether? Assuming the ends of the sistered 2x6s are butted up against framing...? I just wouldn't care for the 4x4 post there if it wasn't necessary. I maybe / probably could, but at this point, I am ...

You have to appreciate the irony of you following up this statement by showing what looks to me any standard digital micrometer, and its battery being held in place with masking tape. Is that thing NIST traceable?

Strategy employed!

I love it, and I think some creative uses of the CC plastics are going to be a thing for awhile. I have a chassis idea that I think will be awesome with CC stuff, but it will need to wait for a bit.

Thanks for thinking outside of the box with the clear!!

My workshop now has a skylight! Glad to see a good amount of the nasty go away. :D The worst rafters are yet to come, and I haven't looked at any of them beyond where the back wall is. Fingers crossed on that section. Now that I have gotten deep into it, I am 100% confident that without the header i...

About the chassis it is certainly thinner and lighter than the original. It's like the CC. I don't have the classic reissue so can't comment on that one. Do you have actual thickness numbers to support the thinner claim? From my research, I have heard the 40th is as thick as an original variant. I ...

I have this thing about working around my schedule and not really anyone else's, so the plan is to solo this. :D The easiest task here may be the most tedious for me, and that is just the shingles. I think I have done roofing once in my life, about 20 years ago, and for maybe four hours. :D I will j...
