How do u guys do this stuff? I hate being a

with tech

The Coyote decal is perfectly suited to this project. Awesome! Helper spring? The reason for that spring, is I had to relocate the rear shock mount to clear the engine...so that shock only has about 3mm movement on the shaft..it was real soft on that location..this evened up the resistance now both...

So I picked up a couple vintage super champ buggies recently and decided to use the best off of both for one nice rebuild. The one in these photos was definitely the better of the two and the one for the bassis of the build. I kept a couple things off the other one but not much.

I'm really not interested is trying to make a faithful replica of anyone else's car, but the Dead Pool RC10 is a street based RC10 with my favorite Corvette body so I definitely need one as a runner (probably without real explosive charge, even though that would be so cool!). This is kind of a perfe...

Nice, excited to see this

Mine just arrived, kit #1995. Note the number is not on the box so you have to crack the seals to see if you got a number or a box of rocks! Schrö-edinger RC10 haha! Parts are stark white, like over peroxided parts. Hard to tell in the pics but they look less nylon and more plastic. Manual is NOT in...

Amain ordered delivered, and kit has taken its place on the "maybe one day" rack.

rc10 40th 3.jpg

I was using 6 cell NiMh to test. I fried in the middle of testing (last year) and this one immediately when battery plugged was plugged in.

I forgot the cutouts in the chassis sidewalls to let me use the short wheelbase position, but some minor trimming took care of that. Now the wheelbase is a good match for the body. With the wide 7222 front axles installed, so is the front track width. . 1000011043.jpg . It's moving along nicely now....

The kit is up on Tower's site although it may be largely symbolic. Similar to the experience of others, Tower has not filled some of my preorders, RC10 40th included. https://www.towerhobbies.com/product/rc10t-classic-kit/ASC7002.html I'm very surprised that you still haven't received your 40th. &q...

Well, it's the 15th and we're venturing into "late June" territory.
Man, this month is dragging.

A little motor rehab. Actually, just new decals on motors that I'd already rebuilt.

The Kyosho's are real. The B&R is a 19/2 Yoko, Speedworks is a 19/2 Trinity, one blue label is a Yoko super stock, and the other is a MVP arm and endbell in a mod can.

This week-end was busy. Yesterday I build a gaming computer for my son instead of working on my cars, and today there was another vintage event at about one hour and half drive from home... I was there at 9 this morning with my son to set the my stand... https://i.imgur.com/t4UQTY1.jpeg https://i.im...

For nostalgia I dressed the buggy up in its race winning livery, or as close an approximation as I can get. This is pretty much the identical tire and wheel package that I had on the car during its first race. Trinity front wheels and tires (literally the same 30+ year old trinity tires in front). H...
