Also what about the associate 68xx PTFE bearings vs the65xx (sub thousand) metal shield bearings

I'm just curious how things overall compare. For me oiled bushings are just fine. I can always just put in a bigger battery and hotter motor.
Are any bearings made in the USA/Europe anymore?

If it doesn't include a paper manual, FORGET IT! I'm OUT.

How about a qr code?

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, - Qual...

Before I hijack another thread I was curious about Ball bearings. They used to be a very expensive upgrade and now they are a commodity. It's actually cheaper to get avid bearings vs associated bushings. I know that there are steel bearings, carbide bearings and partial ceramic bearings. As well the...

https://www.bocabearings.com/products/05-010c-ys-4689?make=TEAM%20ASSOCIATED&model=RC10 Just saying. And those probably aren't their top of the line bearings. Going back in time the bearings would have been slightly above average price Screenshot 2024-05-31 at 10.21.24 AM.png I have been curiou...

I was looking for a Vintage Rc10t before this was announced and I am still looking but is it even worth it now? Yes, originals will always be "better" than their re-re counterparts. But with the hype of the ReRe the original ones have over inflated prices. Maybe now is not a good time to ...

I was looking for a Vintage Rc10t before this was announced and I am still looking but is it even worth it now? You can get a whole lot of used truck for $400. It depends on how perfect you want. The extra ground clearance saves the chassis from a lot of scratches. You can get a full car and an and...

... We are running chinese $1 a pop bearings these days vs the $80 high end NMB bearings sets back in the day. That's true and the difference is night and day. I have some of those early metal shielded bearings and they're still smooth and spin forever. By contrast, I've had to replace many of the ...

Do you know anyone with a tap and die set? Adding a 1/4-20 UNC thread wouldn't be too difficult. Very annoying though, yes. Someone else here had that happen with a Tamiya or Kyosho kit not long ago. I'm surprised this happens, but apparently it does. If AE doesn't get back to you quickly, I'm sure...

I didn’t see it mentioned elsewhere in the thread but just looked closer at the product images and the only picture (one of the top down views) that shows the laser logo has “RC10” with no “T”. The etched logo is conspicuously missing from all the other images except the main callout bubble… maybe ...

Many thanks to Alex for putting me onto these cheap tires. I got tired of waiting for Carvers to become available again. I don't know how well these will perform compared to big name tires but they feel surprisingly good and look good. 20240523_220524.jpg Althought not my first choice I've ordered ...
