It has some rare, hard to find bearings

Fun fact my buddy is some sort of an high flying electrical engineer at a national lab and has a need for lots of hex drivers in their lab. All the guys there use them and when I met them they didn't really know of the MIP RC connection just that the tools were the "best quality" they eve...

Of all the Re-Re stuff out there -- this one has piqued my interest enough to consider buying one.

I hate the ripped you off, Jeff. I admire your attitude. I'd have a hard time with that one, myself.

Gonna wait a few days to it the order button.

Wow is each lipo 1 cell? Or are they 2S each,man that must fly big time. I like it and I love 10L pan cars.

They are each 1s.

It's alot of fun, but not crazy top speed. Ya definitely have to roll into the throttle coming out of a turn.

Got a moden body for it; a Fenix from Sidepiece. Love how it looks and how it handles. Been tinkering with setup - took the dynamic camber out of the front and went with a 3/8 slotted .060" T-bar in hopes of generating more rear grip for on-power corner exit. Picked up a NOS full-width front bu...

Tore the diff down - the new ceramic balls and rings were trashed. Honed the rings smooth & flat and installed some new AE carbide balls I happened to have. Now, I have been running these cars for over 30 years, but I am embarrassed to admit I never really knew how to properly set up a ball diff...

Upgrades!

The factory nylon front block was not able to retain the shock tower screws.


Went with the blue aluminum DHawk front block to support the 4mm front shock tower.

Had this buggy and the B44.3 out at a friend's backyard clay track this weekend. Making the triple was not possible with this car, but the double was doable, sometimes. Had a blast. The 8T motor is playing havoc with the ball diff- my slipper must be too tight or I just haven't set the diff correctl...

You really need to read up on our FAQ and parts list to get the full idea of what we did but it uses a stealth diff up front and will have, as with every 4wd, slightly less steering than a 2wd, but the same as a Kyosho optima or similar 4wd of the era. As the maker of this conversion, I can say who...

another question is how much steering does this kit give? Is it equal to the 2WD steering throw?

Has anyone raced this kit? Is it mildly competitive to say a B44?

i may have missed it-- wondering about the front diff -- is it a spool or a ball-diff?

The photo I want to see is your super cool retro buggy with all of the modern stuff you beat. :D Doing some quick math and knowing the size of an RC10, I am thinking you are approximately 8 foot 3. Is that about right? :lol: that will be a good photo -- next time! With that said --the heat was all ...

If using the GT/DS servo saver with the nose plate in the long wheelbase configuration, you should attach the bellcranks/servo saver to the front holes (you might have to tap them, 8-32). Then use 1/4" (100*) screws to attach the nose plate to the chassis. ahhh-- this will probably improve the...

Took it racing this past weekend. TQ'd the 2nd quali, started 2nd in the main , but ran out of tires and talent. My podium mates drove impeccably, to boot.

Had a blast racing it, for the first time.

Need to build some adjustability into the suspension.
