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

In between little projects around the house, tinkering with the RC stuff and running them in the street when its dry. Think I'll take my 4 year old for a walk around my grandpa's farm so he can "explore" and maybe spot deer and turkey. Kid is a freak for nature.

That's cool. When stationed in San Diego, JT was just down the street from the field we played at. Walked in with a question about my paintball gun and they practically rebuilt it in less than a hour...for free. Hopefully you can have similar luck with Losi.

I raced gold pans on dirt oval and in 96 I tried racing without my dads help. He had always set my cars up cause the reality of it all, he sucked at driving. So his pride was redeemed by being the owner/mechanic. So I was struggling with my CE and a buddy threw me the remote to his backup XX. Car wa...

Ok, so the Micro Baja isn't blending in so well after I sold off the last of my offroad rides. Had some lexan scraps laying around so figured I could make as good of an edm as the bulky ones online. http://a4.sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-snc6/196298_1623461760255_1647816918_1552127_1167611_n.jpg ...

Valid points from all. The plan was to get settled and start racing street stocks for 2012 season with my cousin-n-law. But honestly think with me being the military, the kart would be way to go. Less of an investment and kart is easier to store when I'm deployed. I'd like to get my oldest boy hooke...

Ok, well let me rephrase that...almost real racing. I'm pretty sure a kart program is a little bit cheaper than a sportsman modified. Also, I can leave the kart at my cousin-in-law's house, he'll trailer it with his karts and all that. Probably have him sponsor and wrap the thing while I'm at it. Lo...

In Upstate NY, the karting/racing season is really short........ Yeah, but I'd still keep the Havoc and work on a RC race package when money allows. If only I could braze up a couple of chassis' for myself and then sell off the other cars. AGH! I did just put a lot of my parts including an engine f...

So the family I just bought my vintage Kendrick dirtoval lot offered to sell a race ready kart. I pass the info to my cousin's husband and he states he'll sell a 2010 Bicknel race ready for a steal. So now I have to decide what's more important. Some old RC cars or a kart? Cause to pay for the kart,...

Thank you lowgear, that's exactly the type of info I was searching for. Now I was told Mr. Lane used acetalin (sp?) and I see this kit uses mapp and o2. I'm gonna check into this!

Ok, thinking of building my own chassis with the plenty of stock I got when I picked up my KRP lot. I was told Kendrick silver soldered his chassis and my friend brazed his. Looking at torches at the hardware store left me scratching my head. There's some pretty pricey ones. Has anyone here built th...

Down to around ten after selling off the nitro and off-road trucks. Probably have enough parts to put a handful together but who's counting? Thanks to this site I pretty much collecting old stuff and not so much racing.

I have a plate from a Cobra Nemesis. I was able to use it to mount a stealth trans in a mid motor configuration. I think the transmission is a 2:40 though. I can take a picture of the plate and I'm sure it can be adapted for the other transmission too.

Alrighty...I'll consider the last two posts. The body is nice, but really hate the headers. As far as the nose, it's kind of close as to what I'm looking for. But will look so much better than the one I made with all the bolts. lol.

Dang it, seriously? Well I'm gonna throw everything in a box. I'll allow myself a week or so during this move to think about it. Friday I move from GA back home to NY. I'll deal with it then.

I actually just picked up the lexan and screws from Kipp. I'm making an old body after this car. I've not built an RC body in at least 18-20 years. http://a7.sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-snc6/184749_1580763892835_1647816918_1484154_6627208_n.jpg http://a6.sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-ash4/1841...
