V2 parts ready. New arms are much stronger around hinge pin areas and rear arm has a new bent shape.

Hi all, this is my my first post on the site. After time away from flying RC, I'm introducing my son to the fun world of RC with cars. I've always wanted an RC10 as a teen in the late 80's but flying was my thing then. I've been looking at several RTRs etc but I'm drawn to the RC10 re re and buildin...

The general consensus would be to go brushless and lipo, if you have nothing already, it's an excellent way to start. the brushless systems from hobbywing are supposed to be good, xerun and ezrun. Likewise turnigy batteries are good. radios, I think anything that is 2.4Ghz, and in your price range, ...

Great advice, thanks guys. This is what I was hoping for - a good starting point for the motor, ESC and battery. I'll def spend more on the radio - I'm a Futaba guy for planes and can only imagine that their surface radios are also great. I'll soon be buying that car from my LHS and get to building ...

Let me start off by saying that I've never taken these aluminum parts seriously. I genuinely do not like them. Buuuuuut.....when the sets went on sale for $50 a while back I figured I'd try one. The fit isn't terrible, except the steering which comes with 4mm screws lol, and the rear arm mounts are ...

Here are some updated photo's of my Masami and JJH replicas. Both are very challenging builds. The Masami still needs some work, but with the help of this site and it's great members I am getting close...

Rear wing mounts, servo mounts, antenna holder and battery strap done! Although I think I'll do a matching kinwald style strap.

The black hardware helps it out too. Hard to see the black washers and nuts, but they are there.

I use an ultrasonic cleaner every day at work. Dawn is good, Mr Clean is maybe better. Depends on what you are cleaning. Use both in small amounts and compare. The cleaner I use is heated as well, rinse everything before hand with water and use a soft bristle brush. We use a toothbrush for gold and ...

Finished up the 6 gear and some other little bits. Wish my shocks were here...it's getting closer

Naw I will need to cut down the part of the tire that would lock into the ring on a 3 piece. It's a crappy fit. I would have expected them to at least make them compatible

I did update to a kinwald style battery brace tho

Out with the jconcepts and in with the 2.2 Dhawks. For $40 they made a big difference imo
Also added the rere worlds body and Buds bi level

I think the arm mounts will be fine for racing. Make sure you replace the re-re arm mount screws with original ones or others otherwise your setting yourself up for broken screws in the mounts.

Yeah the stock green hardware on the rere are especially delicate. Team KNK makes a nice stainless steel screw set for about $20 that is very nice for runners

Aluminum is very heavy compared to plastic, and also doesn't bend in a crash. Therefore the car will be heavy, and parts will break. Trust me, I've tried it. I have RPM arms and kept breaking inner hinge blocks, so I went to aluminum, and now it just shears bolts off. You have to leave a few flexib...

I hear ya guys, this is how my Dhawk ended up. It's hard to stop!
