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

why did this thread stop before the car was finished? updates? Don't we all have such builds? It happens sometimes to me: I get stuck or realize a fundamental aspect in the car I can not solve in a proper way. Or another car comes along and looks way more promising in all of the weak areas of the o...

Since they rarely get 10 entries maybe scr8p will allow entering again after a win....i say we start a poll!

Sandkil, looking forward to this build, one of my favorite and best handling 2wd cars ever, regardless of everyone else" opinion. Like derek said, that tranny is just a work of art. This was only car it ever appeared on, which makes it even more classic. Need full report on your opinion of it ...

i concur with Brian....pics of motor and welded windings.
not saying its fake but need reassurance so we can catch some zzz's. This topic has me up nites....thats the truth!

Put together the front diff with new gears. The gear set was actually cheap, so why not replace. Cleaned and lubed the bearings first. Then shimmed the side gears till there was little play with the pinions. Next adjusted the end play of the side gears to a minimum . Then spun the heck out of one of...

There is no way an Associated can beat a Tamiya in a straight up contest!

Nope...too late Chuck....u made fun of our Optimas☹

Just kid'n....glad your takin your 1st Kyosho seriosly...u wont even like your RC10's when thats done.....assuming you go boxart
.....and Coel right, those belt drives are smooth runnin'! but i still dig the chain overall for vintage reasons.

Thanks David I appreciate that. Probably going to order shock diaphragms/compensators, tiny o rings and a couple other smalls. Sure as I decide to order anything rare/expensive Kyosho will re-release the TOM and all the parts I ordered will become cheap and readily found. :? Hoping you guys do good ...

The word on the street is that Kyosho is getting close to making an announcement regarding the Mid. As we've all seen with Kyosho recently, simply making an announcement doesn't mean the car will become available anytime soon. Even if they do re-release the Mid, it will almost certainly come with th...

Get'n tite...if those mods havent voted yet the Hotshot could be in trouble.

Does anyone happen to have a pic of the r/c display case from Toys R Us circa 87-88? I'm shocked that I couldn't easily find something on Google. I tried several different searches. I used to drool over it before I knew of true hobby grade cars.

Doug do u like the platinums alot? I really appreciate the variable dampening feature and I think they are one of the very best looking shocks on any RC. I have them on a couple restored SE's and a TU but I don't run them due to the lack of replacement parts. I have one or two that need new o-rings...

I don't remember any Tamiya cars in that case, but I do remember seeing my first nitro car there. The cox .049 cars

No need for a poll, or rigged voting for that matter...box-art would likely win. But, every herd needs a shepherd or two...

I'm on the fence with this one. On one hand, I like box-art restorations for vintage RC's as they are immediately recognizable and for the nostalgia. On the other hand, I'm very curious to see what Chuck does with this. I think it's gonna be good regardless which way he goes. A nice Mid always gets ...
