Re: Craiglist rc parts/cars posts, hilarity thread

Nawww, they were all taken while drunk, after a "do you know what those ol' RC10's are worth now" conversations.
Needless to say, camera phone action ensues, and photographer dreams of buying his own desert island with dancing girls :lol: .

Re: Stoked, YZ10 score, Thank CATS!

Re: Stoked, YZ10 score, Thank CATS!

Thanks Reggie, yeah, i dont see much in the US, not at this level anyhoo? OK, i got the diffs stripped, ouch, not good, there a mess, might have to do my best at a rebuild as parts are scarce i think?

Re: Stoked, YZ10 score, Thank CATS!

OK as i said, front hubs are odd, note the one on the right, see the lack of the shoulder, thus giving an incorrect track width? Scott, your getting way bent out of shape, your idea of a restore, is VERY different to mine is all mate, ive restored a few trust me, and ALL of them, are pristine, i DON...
