Fantastic! Definitely going to give it a shot. Thanks for clearing that up.

Couple quick questions:

These are the HPI "Super size" 2.2 wheels, correct?

Welcome dude! Looks quick for a 17d! You have a body and wing for it right? I bought a cheap VW bug body for it, but I'll be honest... after reading through the WOIN thread, I'm seriously thinking about getting an original buggy body for it. I mean, it is a race car, right? I'm thinking if I turn i...

maybe counter sink the 6 gear holes

Correct. This was 20 years ago... my memory is somewhat foggy!

That's a new one

I meant, I got all new black pan/nose/motor plate, and I had to drill the pan.

So I ended up pulling my RC10 out of storage at the prodding of my co-workers, and decided to do what it needed to get it running again. My son is 11, just about the right age to get into it, and I figured, what the heck? First, I'm going to thank everybody here in advance for helping with parts. Th...
