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

Well I thought I would chime in as I bought a Re-re Worlds when they came out, which was also my first RC10.. I was one of the ones who had a bad top shaft.. The machining was off and made the slipper back plate rub on the motor mount.. I contacted AE and got a replacement at no charge.. Fixed the p...

Very nice work as usual for you stickboy007.. it's funny but rc's are like 1:1 cars in the modifying thing.. you can mod your car but will usually not get back what you put in but it you restore one you can more easily.. a labor of love to mod.. chassis looks great none the less..

Hi Gomachv, What's the best way to purchase the nose plate and the front tower from you, don't have BST access ( no idea how to apply or activate, not the best at this) :mrgreen: do have ebay and PayPal through the wifey, and she will let me use it if I do my chores and promise not to tap her on th...

You could make some out of the bottom of soda cans pretty easy

Oohhhh that sounds like a great idea.. Those would look great..

Wow Dan!! Congrats!! Got it with the little Losi that could.. Love the new look..

I love your race box as well.. Some great cars there..

I would say maybe some nice chrome or black wheels.. I know the "patina" look is popular with the older German car crowd and they run nice clean wheels.. At least paint the wheels instead of the stock yellow.. I have seen where the are guys who did the distressed look on wheels as well but...

Not digging the front wheels being wider. But, that's just me. I like my front tires like I like my women. Real thick and juicy. :mrgreen: Black is ok as long as their grip is just right. If the track is loose I like for them to have nice big nipples to keep me from sliding off. Their nipples shoul...

You guys are twisted!!

I like the rat rod box you have.. it looks very interesting and different... maybe do something with the wheels to go with the body work..

What you say isn't too far off the mark in my book.. but after stickboy007's problem with the rear bulkhead I would think that an adjustable front would make the problem worse.. this would allow the front to be able to come out of adjustment on a hard landing as well.. maybe not back and forth but t...

My design theory is that the top deck and chassis should be flat. If the chassis is a plate, with no kick up, then it should be in a relaxed state, and flat. Ive been using either no tensioner, or a pully tensioner on all my 870c builds. It depends more on the belt and production tolerances for the...

With the whole rear being adjustable that is where I am thinking the top deck is shifting ever so slightly.. The 4 points are at the two points at the bulkhead cap and the 2 points at the motor mount I was speaking of.. If those parts slip the rear bulkhead could shift the top deck a little which wo...

The rear tower on the 93 W.C.S has the cutout for the turnbuckle, well actually it is the tower for the 94-up YZ-10's, and the Works 93 doesn't.. This allows the clearance for the system on it.. It is interesting to know this about the top deck shifting the tension though.. I bet it was a problem wi...

Well the driver head looks great.. I could never paint one that well so I usually leave them off.. I like the idea of the black wheels with tire lettering.. I'm going to do that to my Astute after I get a couple other Tamiya's done so I can just do them all at once.. aluminum wheels would look aweso...

I like it.. IMHO I'm not totally liking the gold wheels.. it doesn't seem to fit the rest of it.. it doesn't look bad, but it just doesn't fit just right.. I do like the "crazy eyes" of the driver though.. overall I like it with the black rollbar.. nice wild one..

Shawn

Thanks stickboy007.. I'll keep that mod in mind if I come across some more hub carriers.. I have one lone one left (I got 3 in a parts lot) so I'll see what I can do with that one.. I do have one idea....... :twisted: 8) By the way the 92 looks clean.. Not a huge fan of the water oozy thing but it w...
