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

I paid $150 for a brand new team car when it first came out... I bought it at the LHS. It wasn't a deal or a buddy price, it was what was marked on the box and what they normally sold the car kit for. All this talk of spending what was marked on the side of the box blows me away. i hear that ... $2...

i bet it will be a totally new 6 gear trans.

great business move if they release the 6 gear then the team car/stealth.. any word on graphite chassis??

i really want tamiya to do a cc01 size rc with a axial scx10 kind of drivetrain and a blackfoot/ clodbuster or wrangler body

Kink and Coel, you both make great points. I, however don't buy the "can't afford to manufacture here" line that we've been fed so many times. The whole reason for resorting to sweat shop labor is to increase profits. When a product that has been made in the US for years starts to be made...

yea tamiya can keep all the new releases so sad to hear its just a cc01 with a bush devil body

@ longboardnj: I'm not too familiar with T4's, but i thought they also use a ball diff? @ teman: so TT chassis is crap? does TT use an other kind of plastic? plastic doesn't look/feels different at all.... Where can i get an original new T3 chassis these days? t4 rtrs use gear diffs t4 race kits us...

haha good stuff guys

longboard, I honestly believe you would wheelie all day with paddles. I bumped up to 84/23 with the 5700kv and the truck wants to back flip regardless of the surface. I go easy on the throttle until I get up to speed. 5700 is the fastest brushless motor id ever use. i think my buddy has a 6100 not ...

my favorite .. whats your favorite?

airplane engine

TT uses an other plate, it's plastic and won't fit on an RC10. They offer an upgrade metal one, but then you'd also need the Rear Suspension Mount Set (3° Toe/3° Anti-Squat) ASC9267. Other option is to use the Asso rear chassisplate (9241) and Asso motormount (9245). I personally would go for this ...

all in all great deal and a great start in the hobby with the least amount of cost. sad part was cause the truck was so cheap and i saw my buddy bash the heck out of t3s i went very rough on the truck. first thing to bust was the rear mounts/rear chassis section. many other parts like top shaft ,sli...
