Any smart people here help me out with what to refer to this type of screw as? It is pretty much the opposite of a shoulder screw, as the shoulder is narrower than the thread diameter. It is one of those screws that stays in place when you remove a plastic cover / cap / top / etc (think old school ...

It is still a nice body though, I use one as well. I have four of them, in addition to two of the JConcepts Team Truck bodies, and my original Team Truck body. A few years ago, I kinda went on a spree. I bought several basket case 10T's and brought them back to being somewhat presentable. I get mor...

The oddball is the 5-40 unlock nut for the gearbox diff nut. Custom Works RC has those: https://www.customworksrc.com/product/5-40-steel-locknut-for-topshaft/ I use these RJ Speed ones on my transmissions. They are lower profile, similar to the ones that JG used to offer. https://www.amainhobbies.c...

I've still got gold shocks on mine. I just decided to embrace the color, and went with a metallic color change paint on the car.

My first Tamiya ORV (I now have six), an original Blackfoot. Due to the fagility of ORV's, it clearly needed a lot of re-re parts to get it fixed. Mods: Frog skid plate and arm mounts (polished), Frogshot modded diff, re-re CVD's, 3D printed rear skid and shock mount braces, center mounted servo, an...

Built the transmission for an upcoming Traxxas based project. Hot Racing case with a rebuilt diff, Drag Race Concepts aluminum drive gear, and Hot Racing aluminum idle gear. All shimmed to reduce endplay. 20250407_185546.jpg I used an old style hex input shaft so that the old style slipper could be ...

They are 1/8" shafts, but stille use the same "006" size o ring. I have a large bag of 006 sized silicone o rings that I use on everything.

Anybody who has used a one touch Tekin esc knows about the urge to punch someone.

Has anyone on here built, seen, or dreamed of an RC10T 4wd? Is it possible to build an RC10T 4wd with a ReRe kit and a Ten4.1 kit? Is this feasible or just a dumb idea? Thanks for entertaining this old guy's thoughts 👍 Maybe a buggy with truck conversion wheels. The wheelbase would be a little shor...

I had bought what I thought was a partial JG SRT, which turned out to be a conglomaration of factory and aftermarket parts. Oh well. I had my mind set on a truck, so a truck it'll be. Just a conversion. Aftermarket Duratrax, Composite Craft, whoever graphite chassis, JG towers (repo rear) and front ...

Found some new steering blocks that I forgot about (and white shock plastics) and fitted the CRP axles. New rear axles and Andy's wheel adapters. Pure-Tech battery strap and fitted up the shock bushings. I don't have the JG rear body mount but I found that 10T rear mounts line up with the JG tower. ...
