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

Has anyone on here built, seen, or dreamed of an RC10T 4wd? Is it possible to build an RC10T 4wd with a ReRe kit and a Ten4.1 kit? Is this feasible or just a dumb idea? Thanks for entertaining this old guy's thoughts 👍 Maybe a buggy with truck conversion wheels. The wheelbase would be a little shor...

Anybody who has used a one touch Tekin esc knows about the urge to punch someone.

I got part of a JG SRT truck. It is missing the correct control arms and rear body mount (I have a rear tower on the way). The included rear arms are Andy's and what looks like Duratrax shocks. The tires and wheels are the foam versions. While dried out, they are in fairly good condition. 20250412_1...

Technically, it would be a 6X4.

Any ball diff grease will work for the diff. The thrust bearing is regular grease.

They are 1/8" shafts, but stille use the same "006" size o ring. I have a large bag of 006 sized silicone o rings that I use on everything.

Yes.

That hex input shaft is the only thing that isn't.

Built the transmission for an upcoming Traxxas based project. Hot Racing case with a rebuilt diff, Drag Race Concepts aluminum drive gear, and Hot Racing aluminum idle gear. All shimmed to reduce endplay. 20250407_185546.jpg I used an old style hex input shaft so that the old style slipper could be ...

Thank you!! Are these the correct carbide diff balls? https://portal.associatedelectrics.com/factoryteam/parts/details/6619-ASC6619-ft_carbide_diff_balls_1_8_in/ Any 1/8 diff balls will work. For normal use, I use the cheap RJ Speed ones. Once Associated stops selling diff rings for the six gear (o...

Got a dehumidifier for the workshop...was getting a little too humid Doesn't do good for black oxide screws either :cry: i need to pick up a decent one for the garage. Where's a good place for these or a good name for one anymore? Been awhile and usually just bring them home from garage sales but d...

I get music wire from the LHS. Three pack of 3' sticks for a few dollars.

Personally, that blue is too much for me.

My first Tamiya ORV (I now have six), an original Blackfoot. Due to the fagility of ORV's, it clearly needed a lot of re-re parts to get it fixed. Mods: Frog skid plate and arm mounts (polished), Frogshot modded diff, re-re CVD's, 3D printed rear skid and shock mount braces, center mounted servo, an...

I've still got gold shocks on mine. I just decided to embrace the color, and went with a metallic color change paint on the car.

The oddball is the 5-40 unlock nut for the gearbox diff nut. Custom Works RC has those: https://www.customworksrc.com/product/5-40-steel-locknut-for-topshaft/ I use these RJ Speed ones on my transmissions. They are lower profile, similar to the ones that JG used to offer. https://www.amainhobbies.c...
