Amain Bullet had the Maxxum beat by a year and was very competitive locally. This was why front wheel drive was made to run with 4wd. Here is your front wheel drive rc10

Coincidentally, Joksa just posted a photo that included this bit:

I was sticking with the red Cadnicas on this one because I thought red with black text would be easier to work with for some reason, but was failing to find a covering that I really liked that I could put a sticker on, and nothing printable was working at all. Then I ran across these on a search for...

The engine in front allows more forward weight and simplifies the steering set up since you don't have to pass any bellcranks/links under the motor. A mid motor set up like the Bullet or Maxxum would need to raise the motor, and that raises the center of gravity. Or, an alternative to raising the mo...

I had completely forgotten about the Orb racing cars. Here is a great video on them

I've been thinking of an SG Coyote based FF design with the motor mounted forward of the centre line but still mid ish .

I've been thinking of an SG Coyote based FF design with the motor mounted forward of the centre line but still mid ish . I have thought about doing the same thing! The symmetrical design of the chassis would make it easy. There’s just enough room around the spur gear area to mount the steering with...

My understanding is that the trailing arm set up on cars like the Ryuz buggy, and that Orb was to counteract the understeer characteristics of fwd set-ups with the oversteer characteristics of trailing arms. On modern high-bite carpet tracks trailing arms might not be as necessary. I've often read i...

Just arrived. Nicer than I even hoped. I'm chasing a childhood want that I never got then. Got a few others on the way to make runners out of. I'm scared to even take this one apart

I think I've hit on a design that will work. I've also reversed the top shaft direction since the gearbox is flipped around. . PXL_20230108_022946111.jpg . It's coming together well. The CVDs have good smooth range of motion and the shocks are smooth, although the springs seem too stiff. . PXL_20230...

My favourite would have to be the Tekin 411P, my first ‘real’ esc that went straight into my RC10T helping me establish dominance with the neighbourhood dogs :) Grabbed this one years ago, been sitting in a pile but perhaps it is time for me to clean it up and make an attempt to learn how to replace...

I'm surprised nobody has listed the Novak Cyclone It's not my favourite... :P Same here. I have one, and its a cool esc. But far from being a favorite. I like older electronics, and I have several older Novak, Tekin, Futaba, and Astro-Craft pieces. But once they got buttons instead of potentiometer...

Here is a couple of my favorites. Novak 410m1c and Novak racer EX.
