Nice Doug!

Attention to detail, Definition- When the color of your cad matches the actual color of chassis
I really like this build. Craftsmanship at its best, like always.

Sandkill The twisted wires appear to be 28ga. on my T-4. If a wire chart can be believed, one of the possible combinations of 28ga = 19strands/40ga Concentric I measured individual strand diameter at .003" very close to 40 ga My strand count was 18 but I could have lost a strand, pretty small s...

Thanks guys I did get a Reedy motor/ESC during Black friday. Saved a little on the two. Fitting both in the chassis was fairly tight. I moved the servo forward and to the right to gain a little more clearance. The sensor wire that came with motor is too long so I have a 150mm on its way. Got some so...

Hi there Saito If you end up needing/wanting parts for your Losi, Dan at OLDRC.COM / Sabula Tech may be a new friend. A great guy to deal with and a wealth of info and parts for vintage Losi. Plus he is a business member here on RC10 talk. https://sabulatech.com/storefront/index.php?id_category=5&am...

So after a quick bench test to check esc, steering and motor functions it was obvious that the rear wheel/tires were way out of balance. I did not have a wheel balancer nor did I want to spend $30 to order one and wait. More fun to build one anyways. I did find some black plastic spacers from a TV m...

Hi Doug

I have used poster tack or it's called sticky tack.
For the black wheels I think I might try black butyl putty.
The non-hardening black putty is used in automobiles for all sorts of things.

I don't know about "far from perfect"
That looks as fine as frogs hair split three ways.
Another great XLR8 build!

Thanks for the nifty graphic depiction.
Thought I could add my finding on the Penguin Protech body.
I can't do a graphic like Doug can but I sure know how to steal and modify it.

Bakauata Maybe a couple of thoughts. 1. Are you using the same radio for both cars? Not sure of the radio you are using for the RC10, but could it be a throttle endpoint issue? 2. Binding in the transmission is easily diagnosed by removing the pinion and turning the rear wheels. Should spin easily. ...

When trying to take pictures I am always looking for either an interesting yet not distracting backdrop or just highlighting the subject. The bathtub gives an interesting semi-reflective background and tends to diffuse a flash fairly well. A bright light source from above with a diffuser might also ...

Hello Michael It looks like you may have the correct trans input shaft for a slipper but no slipper??? My JRX Pro did not come with a slipper but I added one. For a slipper kit this should be correct - losi a3110 http://vintagelosi.com/Instructions_files/Friction_Slipper_A3110.pdf If your setup does...

Wow !
Now that is a nice truck. Great job.

Though I'm not sure about fitment, could B4 ASC9581 trailing blocks be a solution?
They are readily available from Amain and others. Not sure about axels and exact geometry.
I have used inline B4 blocks on a few of my cars and they seem to work OK.

Just a thought.
