Was looking for some of those Advance Eng. Mini-Mags on eBay, and found what looks to be the correct repro's. https://www.ebay.com/itm/334565065055 https://i.ebayimg.com/images/g/RDAAAOSwh4JhPwq8/s-l1600.jpg Says these fit Yokomo 834B RPS SE. I asked the seller about adapting these to RC10, if he re...

Not as neat as the rest of you, but I roll this bench in to the music room when necessary. https://i.imgur.com/L9CkfU7.jpg Seville Classics HD bench, height adjustable, and can add wheels, drawers and other accessories. The top scratches a bit too easily, but the rest of this thing is built like a t...

Made magnetic body posts for #2. Have double sided tape for now to hold the magnets to the body, if it's not strong enough I'll attach them with Shoegoo. https://i.imgur.com/xfuKKhJ.jpg https://i.imgur.com/f9DG0I7.jpg https://i.imgur.com/Gdjizop.jpg Sits squarely now, even with the version2-3 rear s...

Just noticed something about #2, which was pre-built from eBay, the passenger side has a rear toe-in mount with at least 3 degrees, the driver side is 0 degree toe-in.


Going to go back to a 0 degree mount, found an NOS set on eBay.

Got the throttle/brake linkage setup on #2. https://i.imgur.com/xSoVM3T.jpg NOS header/muffler. https://i.imgur.com/YrfWftk.jpg Got the throttle/brake linkage built with NOS kit for #1, needs brake rod done and adjusted still. https://i.imgur.com/N2KrnW7.jpg Straightened the MIP head, the top fin wa...

Obligatory Pinto joke. https://dms-discourse-static.s3.amazonaws.com/original/3X/e/a/eac59c0329b076cd280dcaacff2d49292a3bd916.gif When I look at all of the magazine art, or anything with the Viper body on it, it's always on the Team Car, black tub with white parts. The actual boxart for the Late Ste...

If I could make a suggestion there is one paint job you rarely see done yet would be somewhat period correct…. IMG_7953.jpeg This paint job spells America with a capital M for sure ! 8) That's also really good! Building the matching pair of those, with the flyer in the display, would be incredible....

After seeing the thread @RC10resto posted, I understand now. I did search here before posting, not sure how I missed that one. Thanks guys!

A lot of you must already know this, but I recently found a site that has the original Vette from the movie, and it says the Vette was most likely an RC10 DS, and was driven by Jammin' Jay Halsey! http://www.robobugs.net/articles/dead-pool-dirty-harry-movie-radio-controlled-car http://www.robobugs.n...

Looks great, works great. Well done 8) Really appreciate the encouragement, thanks MarkyDents ! I set out to do this restoration here in this public forum, so that I would be compelled to actually finish this, and not just get tired of it, or reach an impasse and throw it all back in the attic stil...

I did get the Rooster working, it was a calibration issue with the ESC\Rx, and it may have been a capacitor in the wrong spot too. Thanks!

In trying to figure out my no-brakes, and no-Reverse-delay problem, I looked at the (3) ceramic capacitors that I had to install on the motor, according to the Rooster ESC instructions. I then noticed I had placed (2) caps between + and -, and only (1) from + to the can, or ground. The correct order...

After playing around with this for a while, I got it to work. I had to create a new model in the DX5C, Bind the SR6100AT to it, then there is a calibration sequence that has to be done immediately after initiating the Bind, by pressing throttle full/neutral/reverse, then left, middle, right on the s...

I recently finished a Tamiya M-06 VW Bus model, and it came with the 1060 ESC and a standard 540 motor. I have a Spektrum DX5C with the 5 channel SR6100AT Rx. I've got everything working now, except the brakes and reverse. The Tx is at all default's, I created a new model a few times now with the sa...

Another method that has worked out well for me in the past when mounting a painted body and making the holes afterwards is to light it up from underneath with a bright light. It creates a dark spot where the post is touching that you then can mark on the outside. I'll keep that one in mind for the ...
