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

I'm on the fence with this one. While the concept of a carbon plate chassis is very cool, the RC10 Graphite car was universally rejected by the racing community bitd. Also, I've driven mine and it just doesn't handle as well as my tub cars. It would be nice to add a Graphite re-re to the collection...

Local dirt off road track was too. They weren't used much by the big names but weekend racers loved them

Buy both

Swap shocks and transmissions

Have a new 6 gear CE and graphite team car

These cars need the animated driver dudes like this...

The original graphite car was 6 gear so this is that in essence. I mean if we are talking what is best for performance I don't think these, cool as they may be, would be a contender today. I also don't think Lett and the guys we like to name here have nearly any real say in it. These decisions like ...

It appears the rumors are true.

Yup!

I wasn’t the first, and soon won’t be the last…. I started this build a good while ago along side my gas buggy. Just ran out of clean hardware then lost motivation. I wanted to wait until the truck was finished but it’ll be old news after everyone has a gold chassis. Now that Associated is releasing...

Closest I can do is a printed steel gear I made for our fireplace damper If you do the chat thing with SCS you can send them your file and they will let you know if they see any issues with their process.

Silvertripple is the guy to talk to , he's had good results with 3d printed metal gears @silvertriple

Sendcutsend is a laser or water jet cut on a flat metal, not printed. I was just showing a printed steel gear I had made is all

most internal cut gears I've seen have a back face behind the teeth that just cant be done by water jet , unless its just a ring gear

If AE is serious, they really should do what they can to help customers source reasonably priced nitro engines that drop in with no modifications. Engine availability will certainly impact sales for the new GT. Sorry for stating the obvious. :oops: I'd venture a guess that a motor will become avail...

IIRC Send Cut Send recommends router cutting for gears as it's more precise and leaves a better finish. Then there's the $35 minimum order. Could have it made out of plastic since a dozen will cost as much as one... spares for a lifetime.
