Re: Next up- The Halsey edition RC10

Does one go this route to build a stealth? Or maybe it's easier to get the FanRC one? 🧐 Id hold off on the FanRc until he sorts the gritty diff plates and fixes the gear mesh issue. As much as I hate to say it, the AE trans is probably the way to go for now at least. Good to know.. thank you.. what...

Re: Next up- The Halsey edition RC10

The new gear diff FanRC trans requires drilling the motor plate but I don't think you drill the chassis at all. From what I've seen it's just a simple drill jig for the motor plate

But yeah that's the main thing we concentrated on with our case- no drilling for ANY rc10, and any brace fits as well

Re: (1986-2005) RC Car Action Archives

RCCA stripped out the ads when they scanned them years ago. It sucks, those were the best part. Unfortunately nobody else has had the time or means to scan their collection. Moms are the best. They know to keep these things that would otherwise be trashed years ago. I think I have every issue up un...

Re: Tamiya Sand Scorcher - 2010 Reissue

Getting back to the Tamiya's. I wanted to push this Sand Scorcher build just a bit higher, if possible. This will be a shelf relic, and was the holy grail to me as a kid. There are (3) different VW motors available in 3d print form, for the Sand Scorcher: https://i.imgur.com/fU2kOMh.jpg https://i.im...

Re: Plazma Limited - Last 1/12 Re-Release?

I hope they do a few more Plazma kits myself! A few years back I was hunting for a nice original Plazma mk II, during my hunt, Kyosho dropped the first Fantom EP legendary kit, so I jumped on that, not even thinking they’d do a Plazma later. Last month I let my 11 year old build his first kit, a re ...

Re: RCCA Project Optima

I know this is a bit of an old thread...dead for 13 years...but I'm looking for a bit of help making a dream come true. I am trying to build a replica (and a few tributes) of the December 1987 RCCA Project Optima truck. Pargu builds several Tecnacraft replica wheels, but not these. I wrote him and h...

Re: RCCA Project Optima

Also, I know this is in the Ad Scans section but it was the best thread I could find.

Mods, please let me know if it would be better if I create a new thread in my hunt for an original wheel for a sample...I was unsure where was best to post.

Re: Tamiya Sand Scorcher - 2010 Reissue

Your license plate does look great. I'll look in to the gloss decal sheets for color laser printers, would like to print on the good stuff if possible. Three fried ROM chips on this Commodore SX-64, has kept me troubleshooting and researching for days now. https://i.imgur.com/fBMv0r7.jpg Better than...

Re: Tamiya Sand Scorcher - 2010 Reissue

Please tell me you're running your 3D printer with a Commodore 64... 8) 8) 8) :lol: Laser prints are more resilient than inkjets. Inkjets require lamination especially on vinyl where the ink comes off easily. Unlaminated laser prints will wear and fade too, just not as fast. Laminating makes the de...

The retro-not-real Turbo Ultima build

Welcome to my discussion thread for the Kyosho Ultima WC 20th kit. My intent is to make the finished product look like a classic Turbo Ultima with the wrong colored shocks. I’ve never actually owned a Turbo Ultima so once it comes to mounting the Tomahawk body and lexan wing it’ll veer off the manua...
