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

Hi All, I searched before posting but cannot find any race setup sheets or good pictures of early GT race setups. Unfortunately, time has broken all of the links on Petit RC and I cannot find anything by searching for Jerad Tebo race setups. The best source I have seen is a video that Jason Ruona pu...

Great, thanks for that! I will give it a shot.

I'm going old school on mine, a real MADE IN THE USA K&B .18 engine. They are available from Mecoa and I have a machined head coming for it since mine came with the sport head. The pull start fits the non pull start mounts perfectly, but needs a pull start header which is a hard part to find cu...

No, for sure not, just looking at options and want something that's quality. I see people on Facebook scoring OS and other point .12 Motors all the time I just don't know where they are getting them so figured I'd compile a little list of Plan B engines.

Let's do a 14-year bump up! :D looking around at options for my GT rere and saw this: https://www.ebay.com/itm/196549909629?_skw=Yokomo+RX12C&itmmeta=01JNCYSQEMZZWKWVPCG0HCNSEK&hash=item2dc3499c7d:g:2UAAAOSwx0NmtRxG&itmprp=enc%3AAQAKAAAA0FkggFvd1GGDu0w3yXCmi1fYVWKla346Gm3Vhatg9dSHdRD%2BU...

Should be able to use the stock parts in kit with this. Ill take a picture of all the parts laid out.

Sounds good, thanks!

Looks like Boki, TeamBluegroove and RRP (NIP) have YZ-10 bodies. Picked up my Works 91 Re re kit. Going to make room on car workbench to lay this stuff out more. When you get a chance can you confirm if the kit comes with the shock mounting point extension set (4PCS)? I could not tell from the phot...

What is the EGT conversion? https://blog.jconcepts.net/2019/07/inside-look-jconcepts-rc10-egt-racing-truck/ The prototype is better because I built and raced it. :P :wink: I believe only 30 kits were made and sold. I still have to build mine. https://www.rc10talk.com/viewtopic.php?t=43125 https://b...

What is the EGT conversion?

I am going to powder coat the chassis red, get the FanRC hard anodized shocks, and some JConcepts parts. Other than that, not sure. Just knew I wanted one!

Love this. Appreciate you posting and looking forward to seeing the rest. You ever found anything that breaks down the difference between the x2 the pro and the pro se?

Sorry if this is a dumb question but where is the list you referred to that Curtis published of potential stealth racers? I didn't understand if that was something he posted around the time of the races or something more current he posted here in the forum? I sent Rick Hohwart a message on FB yester...

I referred to it many times during my ongoing Turbo Optima Mid SE thread.

Thanks for hosting all of that! It is such a bummer when images go away and I appreciate you archiving posts like this.

That company that scoobyrs25 posted above with the chassis kits also has CVAs for these cars that look promising.
