I also used a dremel to cut this servo/esc lead channel in the center of the tunnel. What a pain to do by hand!
I'm a big fan of the MIP steering kit for the XX series. It's a huge improvement over the stock setup. After some tinkering and adjusting, this steering is perfectly smooth and slop free
One more thing that I've wanted to address is the fact that with the current battery retention method, it can only accommodate full sized battery packs. Shorty's will fit fine, but they have nothing to hold them in the back & keep them from falling out. I could have used the Vintage RC setup, bu...
A couple weeks ago at coxbros1 and TheDiamondOne's place. This is the display Derek has at his place. None of their modern racers or monster trucks in the main display. The meticulous placement of different colored LEDs to accentuate the individual cars really makes a difference. You can really gras...
Not sure how many rc10talk.com regulars happen to stop by [ex] sister site clodtalk.com, but just a heads up, clodtalk.com is closing down. Like, in 48 hours, it won't exist and all will be wiped out. So, those in the corner offices have created a forum here just for the Clod crowd. I kinda think th...
Pic of car as I received it. As you can see it looks like it will clean up real nice. I've found most parts that I need (waiting for them to arrive), all I have left to find is 1 shock clamp and a set of tr8 tyres.

I bought one of those used, but almost NIB a few years ago. Soft tires, ok shocks, beat the heck out of it and it still runs. Decent f...
Don't be too sad as it's been hardly used for at least a decade, and doesn't hold much in the way of archival significance. The majority of the pics and links no longer work either. It's a bit of a wasteland. It has to die so that RC10Talk can continue to live on as it will free up some necessary se...
there was a significant structural design difference between the CRF design and the Checkpoint (that the reedy is likely based on) : in the CRF, the brushes are angled 45degrees... this was the enabler for lesser comm/brush wear because it miminized brush bounce. (the V2 design ran cooler as the hea...
Random story: My wife and I were doing laundry today and she asks me to hand her the Shout. We both immediately start singing Shout. She was singing the Tears For Fears version, but I more had this version in mind...
