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

I moved to Florida, so I haven't been there in quite a while, myself. Last I heard, they were building an offroad track. Several years ago, they had a shop closer to the Beach, with a large offroad track. All I've seen since they moved to Chesapeake was the carpet course.

Here's the local track in VB. I used to live down the street from them, but I'm not sure what they have now.

I don't know what part of VB you're staying, but I could give you easy directions from most anywhere there.

The car is turning out awesome!!! I'll second the vote for the carbon wing, as well.

HI!... Well I hand deburred all the gears by hand, and then ran them through a 8000rpm brass wire wheel. Very smooth. Has anyone ever takin a set of outdrives and ground off the outdrive section just leaving a steel idler gear, and then using it as a steel idler gear? Just thought it would bullitpr...

seth556,
What axle blocks are using on those cva's? Could you use stock ones with those?

Nice looking ride, BTW.

Just waiting for the body and motor to get here from Tower. I'll probably wait until spring to get some new batteries and hopup goodies. My wife has been pretty cool with my spending lately and I don't want to push my luck.

For sure...They're wrapped in clear heat shrink.

Holy crap! That's going to be an awesome ride....Keep the pics coming!

Well, a bit more has been done to the car (linkages, electrics, wheels). I had to be a little innovative as far as battery mounting. My batteries are configured for my TC4, and are too long to use the battery tray. I ended up using some old body posts and cut a strap from an old bumper. With the add...

I masked and painted mine on the inside first, then painted the hood on the outside. That way, if it scratched, it wouldn't be too noticeable.

......Drive.

The parts are cleaning up nicely, but when you get the new chassis, you may want to use a bellcrank linkage. The direct steering does weird things when you compress the suspension.

Very nicely done...good job.
