When I say that they ruined Tower, I mean that it is only a shadow of what it used to be. For a while after Horizon took over, they were still good to shop with. But now, Tower is a joke. They have very limited selection and a large amount of that is out of stock. No more parts saver shipping. Short...

Can you have them make some foams up for say a set of mini-mags ??

Also, call CRC. They may be able to find a rubber tire that will fit.

Looking around, I've seen some indication that it might have a little more timing.

The regular one is listed at 38°, and I seen a package for the super that said it was 39°.

I'm pretty sure that 0.9mm fits 0.035" and 1.3mm fits 0.050".

For 1/16 and 3/32, I recommend having good straight and ball drivers.

That man finally got him a RC10. He ain't got time for that!









Just kidding.

This here is my RC10 street buggy. It started out as a spare parts build and morphed into a little more. It's mostly a basic A stamp with black dyed parts, setup in full long wheelbase. The six gear was rebuilt with some re-re parts and outdrive bearings. - The hex conversion is a little different, ...

Various early manuals here. Some of the instructions in different ones is easier to follow than others. http://oldrc.com/TeamAssociatedManuals/associated-manuals.html Also, manual for the re-re. As before, some of this is easier to follow. https://img2.associatedelectrics.com/pdf/cars_and_trucks/RC1...

Personally, I believe that only people with some type of attachment to them will be truly interested. I'm not one of those people. I always thought that the body looked cool but that the mechanicals were truly lacking. I put the Blackfoot in a similar category. And please don't take this as a jab a...

With the dogbone cup removed, it would basically look like a 3/16 version of a Traxxas axle. FWIW, Traxxas vehicles don't use crush tubes on the axles. You just can't run the endplay as tight. Also, the bearings on a Traxxas (5X11X4) are much more substantial.

It looks like there are still Tamiya nicd packs available. I don't know if they are still making them or if they are just still on the shelves. I have a couple Onyx nicd packs that I bought a couple years ago but it doesn't look like they are still available. I had bought them so that I could contin...

The Thorp gears are 48P, while stock is 32P. The are part of a complete gear set. Standard pan car spur gears, diff balls, and diff rings work fine. No need in paying top dollar for vintage AE stuff. I usually use Kimbrough spur gears and RJ Speed diff rings and balls on six gear trans. But nothing ...

I don't think he has the Thorp gear set. I think he's looking for idle gears and seen those and wondered if they were viable.

Lots of cleaning solutions aren't safe for aluminum. Simple Green Pro HD (purple) is. Its the only thing that I use in my ultrasonic (other than water).

My ultrasonic is a Harbor Freight cheapie, works great.

The linkage angles aren't as good but its doable.

Depending on the design of the servo and the servo horn, it may be possible to mount the linkage on the inside.

Old nylon losses its moisture over time and becomes brittle. You can rehydrate it in water but it does take time. You can still buy correct size ball studs and cups. Schumacher and Custom Works make the correct size studs, as well as Lunsford ($$$). Team Associated recently discontinued the replacem...
