Got the hood together. https://i.imgur.com/yuk4ydq.jpg Good thing these decals are strong, had to pull them off and put them back on more than a few times. I used a heat gun on my Tamiya Bus decals after I was done, it made all the difference in the world, as far as shrinking the decals to better co...

Got the decals off the sheet. https://i.imgur.com/uULJgzd.jpg If I had one bit of constructive criticism for the maker of the sticker kit, it would be to get a printer with finer DPI, the decals all have a bit of the jagged edges and lines to them, particularly the black. https://i.imgur.com/8UO8cEo...

The two bodies are useable on the narrow early rear tower. But the original body will not clear the later wide rear tower. I see that now, the tower and shocks are touching the body. https://i.imgur.com/yGlP00u.jpg But for display purposes, it seems to still be on track. https://i.imgur.com/Lk5A32D...

Got an email from MCI-Racing, the boxart sticker set should be here today, soon. Getting prepped for the arrival. I recently bought a pair of Tamiya decal scissors for a VW Bus M-06 kit. These decal scissors made it so much easier, absolute necessity to have these for this project. https://i.imgur.c...

Canada seems to have some hard to find parts.


The Boki #6182 wing and mount kit to go with it.


Looks exactly like the original Viper body from '96.


Need to figure out what to do with this.

I've had a rc10gt for awhile that I plan on tearing down soon and doing an E conversion racer. I understand the mid-motor e-conversions, especially on the later model GT2, with the blue pan. When nitro really got popular, the benefit was you could run for as long you as you had gas, or until you br...

Got the bolts I needed to install the engines. Completely broke this CZ .12 down, cleaned,rebuilt, and lubed it with machine oil. https://i.imgur.com/PzkRnq2.jpg The MIP head and stinger were bought in '97 with #1. The larger MIP Shiny CVD's with the bigger RPM bearing carriers, and the MIP Zero Mai...

I sent Andy a message on eBay about the Team Car Viper paint job, he said he will be painting Viper body's soon, he's waiting on delivery currently of more of them. He sounded like the Team Car paint job was in the works, stoked! Setup the camber and toe of the front wheels, and the camber of the re...

Take a look here. The Team Car Viper paint is very elaborate but also very cool. https://www.rc10talk.com/viewtopic.php?p=124340#p124340 The Team Car Viper is it! I'd much rather have this. https://i.imgur.com/dBUUj8a.jpg https://i.imgur.com/wosLbYm.jpg https://i.imgur.com/HZUxvm7.jpg https://i.img...

MCI has decal kits to make it easier. https://mciracing.ca/collections/team-associated?sort_by=manual I have a set of these coming for the GT, they look great. The thing about the Late Stealth CE kit is that it came with the Protech II, or the Viper body, my manual shows the Protech II body: https:...

Got my Boki #6182 wing and mount kit today. Apparently the Protech II body also uses the #6182 wing. https://i.imgur.com/OwaLUQb.jpg Much different in every way than the Protech I wing on the right. https://i.imgur.com/TfUgzqj.jpg https://i.imgur.com/ZQvCzNv.jpg Will use the black wing buttons that ...

These look odd but..... https://www.ebay.com/itm/175560090341 Thanks for the reply! I did see those too, seller says they're made out of Karropak, which when I looked it up, is some vegetable fiber :lol: . The original is copper or aluminum, so I hesitate to try the veg. I see there is a "gask...

I'm having a hard time finding the right shim for the CV head. The manual simply calls that a gasket kit in the parts list #15: https://www.manualslib.com/manual/645611/O-S-Engine-Max-12cv-Series.html?page=24#manual https://i.imgur.com/O1zHMbA.jpg #15 OS Part # 21214000 - Gasket Set - but doesn't sa...

I had read that Singer sewing machine oil is as good as it gets for assembly/storage oil, saturated the internals in it. https://i.imgur.com/CsrShqq.jpg This still needs the head shim, which I'll order now. But I am getting the pop, as if compression will be restored. https://i.imgur.com/eRjfe6O.jpg...

Thanks guys, I figured the head bolts kept it all together, but I was just wondering why my other (2) OS .12 engines never had the sleeve come out, or behave in a loose way. I was under the impression that the sleeve only came out with a special tool; have since come to find out you can put a zip ti...
