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

Just went through some parts, looks like crp made them in 2 different sizes.
I have them in black which are small and silver which are large, both have the same header card and part number 1702.
Never noticed this, guess it was for the ss & rr differences in size?

http://www.rc10talk.com/download/file.php?id=78873&mode=view What does the CRP adapter look like? Does it go right on the taper? I've seen this pic before and it is misleading. These are just stock discs with an old header? Actual CRP discs are silver and larger diameter (they fit onto the tape...

Ok gotcha, looks that would work.

They slide onto the taper, here's a pic I stole off of chopshops site. Think I figured it out, I'm using MRP rear arms and they are different from stock, tried the adapters on stock rear arms and they fit fine. Also using 10mm shocks may have something to do with it. I know what Shodog was talking a...

Working on my build have run into another road block, was planning on using pro-line black wheels made for the Sand Scorcher using the CRP rear adaptors.
Too much backspace on the wheels, hit's the shocks, any ideas? Besides find something else?

Just got these in the mail, talk about heavy metal!
Should last a lifetime, wonder why they used steel instead of aluminum?

You know duratrax has a bad rep but I put 8 of them on a clod back in the day, they survived longer than the body-chassis etc.. I beat the everloving crap out of it, they are still on there and not leaking and not bent, and were a huge improvement over the stock pogo sticks! Think I need to charge a...

Thanks for the replies, hadn't seen this body before, I'll get better pics when it shows up.
Was curious if it was made for the scorpion
I thought that looked like a beetle scorpion chassis

Very nice buggy!
When you think about it, it's amazing how an industry grew from hop up parts.
The golden age of off road, was there ever a better time than the early to mid 80's?

Anybody recognize this body?

Thanks guys! Lars, hope it end up as nice as your builds, they really set the standard I think! Shodog, have seen a few pics of your Scorpion, great looking buggy, did you keep the front end on yours or swap it to an SRB? I considered swapping it to an SRB using an MRP SRB chassis, I still may end u...

Thanks Dennis!
Pleased as punch with this TS.

Here is a chassis I have been working on, came to a standstill when I tried to mount my Parma shocks, the front shocks are too long. Had a talk with Lars, seems I need to make taller shock mounts for the Parma's as he did with his Parma Scorpion. Think I will end up using Optima shocks instead, and ...

They are still out there!
Got this in a couple of weeks ago, I was stunned by the low buy it now price, listed as a Cox car.
New built, never ran, complete except for spotlight covers, wing, decals and manual.

I plan on a cleanup-light restore, shock rebuild, rubber parts etc...and finding an appropriate body.
