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

My RC104WD came in today. I literally just sharpie'd the shipping box and stuck it on a shelf in the garage. I don't think I have been less enthusiastic about getting a RC car in my life. Just weird how this all worked out.

I have been dragging my feet in getting this build done. Part of the reason has been the inability to find front TLR Gen 3 shocks. Every place has been out of stock for awhile. I guess all of the TLR resources are going into designing the 22 6.0. :lol: Fortunately I pieced everything together by usi...

Did a little work on the Cougar 2 Works. shimmed the top shaft of the trans after getting annoyed at a rubbing sound. Added a Factory Works bulkhead brace. Put on some JC Racing aluminum yok wheel adapters and slapped some YZ-10 wheels I had on it. Unfortunately the fronts required a shim to be able...

Agreed... I placed my pre-sale order as soon as the link was available. Then I read all the back stories, history and shenanigans... I'm sure I will build it but the shine has definitely been knocked off . 100%. Even moreso after communicating with AE and being told "this is the first we've he...

Cut the battery boxes as per MIP manual.
I couldn’t help myself and started with some decals.
Red lettering are from Autographics #534 Red Racy Sign kit series.

Rear A arms, drive shafts and a bunch of turnbuckles tonight! Rear A Arms in. https://i.imgur.com/xmMk2ia.jpg I built the shafts per the instructions: 3 shims and the blue spacer on the outside (flat side out). We'll see once shocks and tires are on if the whole 'about to fall out' syndrome is happe...

But this picture is so awesome! The MiP kit will be yet another reason to get the wife something nice for an I'm sorry gift. But so worth it! Do you think it will be just like a Ten4 kit?

Not sure on that one, just keep an eye on the website I guess.

Started assembly https://tcphotos.net/images/2025/03/19/IMG_8486.jpeg And I’m into the Novafox kit almost immediately https://tcphotos.net/images/2025/03/19/IMG_8487.jpeg https://tcphotos.net/images/2025/03/19/IMG_8488.jpeg My kit was missing the bits for the front body mount (Which I’m not bothered...

I'm excited, but have a feeling that may go away quickly when I see the price. :D What are the thoughts on price? TTAE getting the 4WD out first really limits what conversion kits can charge, at least to the masses IMO. There will be a group, including myself, that would prefer a MIP (or FTW) conver...

The thrill of a vintage unboxing never gets old. No, this isn’t the 2017 re-release of the XLS Masami—this is the real deal, the original commemorative 4WD production kit by Schumacher, released after their iconic 4WD victory at the 1987 IFMAR Worlds in England. Thank you for guiding me about this e...

This morning was photoshot time to organize the next event "La Montluçonnaise" Dust is free ;) The dog is not for sale :roll: https://media.joomeo.com/large/67dd7ba6c1d65.jpg https://media.joomeo.com/large/67dd7dda1c639.jpg https://media.joomeo.com/large/67dd7df5c80aa.jpg https://media.joo...

Thank you! Here are more photos to share. Having the reissue Masami XLS model built up and painted, makes it a little less tempting to build this one (but barely).
