Re: Newbie with Race Motor and AE RC10

So I take it I should lube up the whole steering system(I use WD-40), and loosen all the fasteners a bit to see if that helps. I just wanted to chime in on using WD-40 for lubrication...that's a bad idea. WD-40 is best used for removing moisture and grease. If anything, WD-40 will remove any oil or...

Re: Newbie with Race Motor and AE RC10

It's been said before but worth mentioning again. Boiling the nylon parts will make them more pliable and less prone to breakage. Actually, I've never broken an RC10 arm but I have broken front and rear arm mounts and steering blocks and castor blocks (probably more broken steering blocks than anyth...

Re: Newbie with Race Motor and AE RC10

those in that listing are 2.1" front wheels and tires. You will be fine with those. Be aware in the future that they also made narrow truck wheels that are 2.2" and those actually have 4 screws holding them together. So as long as you see three screws, you are OK.

Re: Newbie with Race Motor and AE RC10

Cool! Just measured 'em, and the rear beater wheels are standard 2.2"! Since they're the one piece glue on design, I had to break out the Super Glue to glue the tires down, since they were spinning on the wheels(VERY bad! :shock:). Don't worry, I checked the Traxxas forum before I used supergl...

Dadio - 834B would be a good place to look.

Re: Newbie with Race Motor and AE RC10

Awesome! Congratulations on running your very first RC race. :D The last time I raced RC was in Feb. 1994 and I miss it so much - those were happy times. Anyway, yeah I totally forgot about the transponder requirement. I'm a little surprised that it caused you so much trouble. 2.4 Ghz radios are ple...
