Re: Matts RC10 resto

Just noticed that your dogbones are awfully close to popping out of the outdrive cups with the car sitting on the table. Do they stay in when the arms are at full droop? I noticed this too but don't have a problem with them popping out although they have on the odd occasion, do you think this is do...

Got the front bulkhea...

Re: Vintage Graphite Chassis snapped!!

Thanks for the replies, I've used some CA and soaked the crack then clamped in a vice overnight, it's come out pretty good, I've also got 2mm carbon plate which I will use if it breaks again!

Re: Vintage Graphite Chassis snapped!!

Here you go, ive just finished stripping it down and think it may be fixable as i have some carbon fiber cloth and 2 ton epoxy if i can inject some epoxy into the crack and clamp into a vice it might do the trick http://i1083.photobucket.com/albums/j397/mattwarner1979/IMG_0869.jpg http://i1083.photo...

Can I use these Lipos??

Hi, I am new to all this, however I recently upgraded my graphite rc10 to brushless and decided to move on from nicads to Lipos, I've just brought a charger off eBay which came with x2 3s 2200mah 35c packs.

Will these be ok? They are half the size of my old 7 cell nicads!

Thanks

Re: Upgrades for a pure stock '86 RC10

I upgraded my brushed motor for an EZRUN 13T / 35AMP ESC off ebay and it made an amazing difference!! these are available through Hobbyking i believe but i got mine from HK for a steal although it took 6 weeks to get to me.
