RC10Talk - The Net's Largest Vintage R/C Community

I have to wonder how a complete vintage buggy would hold up to modern power and grip. If not moderated, modern power has been the downfall of several vintage diffs and slippers. They just weren't designed for it. If you have to reduce the power in order for the vintage car to survive, you are giving...

Try taking a screenshot of the photo and posting that. It will significantly reduce the file size.

Looks good.

If anything was posted anywhere on Facebook, I can guarantee that I missed it, ever.

I use the same 006 silicone o rings in all my Associated, Tamiya, and Traxxas shocks.

If either of you need any of the Parma rear parts, they still show many of them being available.

I seen them a while back, while looking for a replacement body for my California Sport Truck.

what about these? https://www.associatedelectrics.com/teamassociated/parts/details/91722-ASC91722-rc10b6_ballcups/ ? I wish they would say what size they actually are... Too big. The only ones that I know that fit are some Schumacher, Custom Works, and CRC. What you want is 4.3mm, which isn't commo...

I'll try to remember to measure the axle on my Parma Goodtimes kit tomorrow (night shift). They still show as available from Parma.

This is the rear assembly instructions for the Sport Truck.
The #12 item is nylon spacers. The number of spacers used varied with different Goodtime models.

The Parma axle is too short.

The thrust side is 15/16" from the spur locating hub to the threads. Axle OAL is 5 5/8".

And that is why I use wheel nuts that have serrated faces and nylon locks whenever possible.

Traxxas axles come with dry thread locker on them. I don't remember what its called.

I think I need a bigger box.
Luckily, I'm working on three projects that will need electronics. And I'm thinking of swapping the electronics in a couple others.

Got another JR XR2i and another Hitec Shredder.
Also got a B stamp pan, Andy's rear arms, front and rear mounts, and some hinge pins.

What exactly is or what makes a B1.5?

Its a blend of T2 and RC10 buggy parts. The chassis is shortened a little.

Some use a traditional buggy front, some use the truck front and RPM style arms.

Here's another one I just refurbished. It was a "Team Big Block" motor, built with a GM can and endbell. I disassembled the endbell, cleaned and polished the brush hoods, and polished the can. The Trinity Experimental decal was the only thing that I could find that matched the brush hoods....

Yeah, Jeff has a few options for different length shocks. I'd recommend soaking all the nylon parts for several days to rehydrate them. Warm (not boiling!) water is best. I like the mini crock pots for this. If your car has the Stealth transmission, I'd probably run the diff a little tight. Gears an...
