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

this is my rc-10t oval converted weekly racer. it started out life as a stock truck back in '93 and raced for 2 years till the class died out. started out racing it again in '01 and bolted all stock components on a terminator chassis plate with factory works towers and body. it has gone through many improvements for the past 5 years and keeps getting faster. here is the progression of the build over the years. this is what i call my L.T.F.O. conversion hence the name on the wing. it has thorp 64 pitch gears,aluminum outdrives and cvd's and all the other lightweight goodies far too much to list. i dont have any recent chassis pics on file but i will try to get some. i really would like to show you guys the custom terminator style nose plate i machined by hand its really cool. you will notice the offset wheels in all the pictures that is why they dont match untill the last ones, thoes even have been lightened look closely. in the seventh picture take notice to the offset motor and mount. the motor is moved 3/8" to the left too. be sure to check out the aluminum stacks on the hood in the last 2 pictures. sorry for the large pics they are scanned photos no digital camera.

hey guys check out my homemade dyno in the background. it works great measures volts, amps, rpm ave and peak, and whatts and whith the adjustable 30 a power supply i can hold it steady at 7.2 volts.

Wildbill I got to love that truck.....


Very nice job!

you can go ahead and mail me. I love that ..........great job.

thanks guys, daryl i thought you might like it. the left side wheels in the last pics are your old a&l wheels and nuts with some fancy vinyl and some holes to lighten them up. i put some stacks on the hood since you said you no longer made the lexan airfilters to mount to the body, pretty cool huh?

here are some updated pictures of the truck with the custom machined terminator style nose plate installed. the nose plate picture shows its progress from the aluminum bracket i started with to the final machined piece.

very nice, can't wait to get to your track to do some racing with you oval truck guys.
