My Childhood Blackfoot

I've mentioned this a couple times in other threads but, my brother had been storing my childhood Blackfoot for the last 20 years or so and I just found out he had it about a year ago. Got it back from him last Thanksgiving and went over it to figure out what it needed and a significant portion of m...

Re: What RC Videos Do You Like On Youtube?

An off the wall one I'm not going to link because it's got just a little vulgarity, is the video for the Drum and Bass track, "Joyride", by Amaro and Walden, which features animated characters cruising and getting into trouble around London in a Tamiya Wild Willy. Edit to hotlink an image...

Re: RC10B6.4 shock springs

If you can find some older Losi springs, they fit. Any of the big bore stuff will require a spring collar and different cups. Any idea what model Losi? I do have some springs that are Traxxas "Big Bore" spring that I believe are for E-Maxx and T-Maxx, part number 4649R. Good diameter, bad...

RC10B6.4 shock springs

I know it's not necessarily vintage but could someone measure the diameter if the springs used on AE RC10B6.4 13mm shocks please? Part number 91947, 91948 or 91949 and possibly others. I'm looking for springs with about a 15mm diameter, 60mm length and 2 lb/inch spring rate to use on the front of my...

Re: Muh new RS4MT

OK, friends, the rebuild is complete. Thing runs awesome and I love it. For tires I used Duratrax Speedhawk premounts. Really nice tire/wheel combo for the $. I also got a set of NOS HPI Super Radial tires that I mounted to the stock wheels after stripping the chrome and dying them black. I don’t re...

Re: Muh new RS4MT

little late to the party but a mild brushless would be the max those belts will hold up to. Belts will slip and stretch under hot brushed setups but the rs4mt is a fun truck. Wish I would've paid attention the the drying up aftermarket parts on these when you could pick up stuff cheap. Mostly the h...

This one is my first hobby grade, got it for Christmas when I was probably 14. Beat the snot out of it ...

Re: Blue carbon shock towers on Gold Pan

They look awesome. Never seen blue flavored carbon fiber before. What did you use to cut them out?

Never heard of it, good to know though. Maybe I'll throw a decent vintage Novak ESC at it and see what it'll do then.

Muh new RS4MT

Well...inebriated Ebaying strikes again! I'm not mad thought, been looking for a decent deal on one of these for a while now and although it does need a bit of attention, it's all there and in decent shape. Definitely needs tires (severely dry-rotted) and I'll probably pop for some new wheels. Body ...

Looking at a 1/10 Kyosho nitro powered 2wd buggy with a molded plastic chassis. You guys have any idea on what model it is? Thanks!
