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

I'm bored today and somehow got on the Stadium Blitzer. I think it is one of the best looking trucks and one of the best kits from Tamiya. Strong, reliable, cheap, easy to assemble and decent performance. I will never forget as a kid walking into Sheldons Hobbies and seeing a pallet of them for sale...

I'll have to get ahold of my brother to find out. He took me there and a few others within drinking distance to "show me how to fish Alabaman Style"

Great work so far.

If you look closely at the photos in the stealth book by Steve Hustings you will notice an "L" on the left rear hub carrier. (page 28)
That makes it a 1.5 deg as was standard on CE and Team car. Only short arm cars have zero deg rear hubs (no "L").

Here's another.

It looks like shims on that axle. Probably just the stock 6220 axle.

Just my .02 but I still think that’s a wide shim. There seems to be a slight void where it is up against the steering arm, plus that would make the steering arm hole really thin. In the first pic it looks like two shims

They are usually ground in the hardened state.

Another option which I have done in the past is use brass tube with a 1/8" Id and make the od a light press fit and glue in place.

I think you will find the most knowledgeable and helpful people around here that will be happy to help you with your vintage Kyosho car, however, this is not facebook, or an instant gratification center for your questions. This is a community of like minded folks who pass through from daily to weekl...

Hmmm, round chainsaw files to notch the tube ends? I would never have thought of that. Brilliant! Hey, how are you sharpening your lathe tools? I have a bench grinder but I think the wheel is too coarse, it spins too fast (it creates too much heat) and I have no way to accurately control the grind ...

Lathe work looks first rate

Did you use aluminum 4-40 nuts on the turnbuckles? How did you attach them?
I'm sourcing parts and hoping to get a chassis set from Jake once they are ready.

Superb parts man. I really like those thumbscrews!

Something like this.

Looks awesome!
