Well here we go again with another engine overhaul. This time it's a late OS .15CV-X. I managed to pick this engine up from the hobby shop for $20 as it was locked up solid. It was quite dirty and the filter foam perished but the engine appeared to be in reasonable shape. 20250126_225612.jpg 2025012...

Thank you everyone for the donations so far and really want to thank Jeff Malar for the great price on the 4wd conversion kit. He's a business that needs to make $ to stay alive an...

Soldered up the esc for the indoor car....

I took this pic yesterday while trying to get back in the habit of getting my steps in during the day. This would be from the south side of Potterfield Bridge looking north across the James River to what would be considered the western portion of downtown Richmond, Va.

It's that time of year again! RC10Talk's 19th anniversary or birthday whichever you prefer! Thanks to everyone as always for making this place what it is. Between the content and longevity, you have to wonder if we were the catalyst for the whole re-release resurgence.

I know a lot of you aren't on Facebook, Jay passed after what sounded like a fairly short but difficult battle. RIP Jay

This started as a trial to see what I could do with an unloved gold pan tub. It started with some snipping and bending. 1000014281.jpg 1000014282.jpg 1000014283.jpg It finished up with brazing, filling, sanding/filing/grinding, and some painting. Then assembly with standard A stamp parts... 10000142...

It turned out pretty nice so I thought it should have a storage box too. I took photos of one of my nicer boxes and resized them for the graphics. 5de0e2e8-c4c1-4ee6-919a-4631dc804dc2-1_all_52519.jpg 5de0e2e8-c4c1-4ee6-919a-4631dc804dc2-1_all_52520.jpg 5de0e2e8-c4c1-4ee6-919a-4631dc804dc2-1_all_5252...

they are punched in a die set, and the edges will be somewhat rounded. they will seem kinda......furry. the color will be lighter, whitish. the machined edge will be nice and crisp and the edges will be pretty much same color as the base material. In the image below of two very dirty towers, the lef...

Had to run to my mom's earlier. We had a kind of unexpected snow.

Couple of pics from this weekends work on the SP10. Cracked and delaminated corner someone "fixed" with some soft unhardened epoxy. Actually felt more like shoegoo. 20250124_195343_l.jpg 20250124_195357_l.jpg Cleaned the area and used CA with filed down carbon dust as filler. Clamped hard ...
