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

Long time lurker here; finally joined. Like so many others, I'm getting back into RC after leaving the hobby in the 90's. I found some Tamiya rere kits for cheap around Xmas and picked-up a couple of Grasshopper II's for our two boys. A cheap Traxxas would probably have been a better idea, but I was...

I finally finished my Turbo Raider Pro restoration project that started in January when I pulled my old RC stuff out from my parents' attic. It was partially reassembled with the stock Outlaw motor after I had wrecked it in the mid-90s trying to run a hotter motor (which caused the MSC contacts to w...

I was able to resurrect the torched 16x2 Mega Motor using parts from another motor off of eBay. kyosho-raider-pro-mega-motor-16x2-burned.jpg Seems to work OK...just needed a facelift. kyosho-raider-pro-mega-motor-16x2-restored.jpg kyosho-raider-pro-mega-motor-16x2-installed.jpg Ready for some speed ...

So I have had some fun with this car, but I seem to break something on it almost every time I take it out. First I broke a front knuckle when I clipped a curb. I found an RD-3 parts tree on eBay and re-made the steering setup to prevent that from happening again. Recently I flipped it and snapped th...

Has anyone noticed that "universal" swing shaft OTW125C for the rere Optima kits practically drop right into the Raider? Sorry for the cross post , but I thought it might be relevant here. kyosho-raider-pro-axle-uj-length.jpg You have to leave the red shim out, as it is slightly too thick....

I did away with the springs, pain in the neck. If you use a standard domestic paper hole punch it snips out perfect size circles of thin rubber, i used thin neoprene sheet, and an old mouse pad, I stopped using them as well. I still have them...somehow. I used a small o-ring with the 70mm, but I di...

I pre-ordered mine, but only recently got around to building it. I have the CC and 40th as well, but I assume no one wants to see pictures of box-art RC10s. Anyway, I went with a relatively mild brushless setup (10BL60 + 3650). team-associated-rc10t-chassis.jpg In fact, the ESC wiring sort-of inspir...

Ha! I wish....

Thanks!

Well that didn't take long, lol...

RW Racing made another batch of Raider ring gears that work with the Tamiya DT-02 ball diff kit. That along with the Optima rere universals should finally put an end to the rear-end drama. If you just want to run dog bones, the Tamiya 53218 diff cups seem to be a suitable replacement for the stock i...
