Imminent's RC10CE - It still runs?!

[ImminentFailure]

Thanks for the info. I'll step up the gears on the slot machine. She moves pretty good now, just casual zoom zoom play with my rc10. Lucky the Firebolts were free haha.

Utterly crazy amounts of fun being had with my RC10. I pretty much put a good hour on it ever night, and the slot machine seems to be toast. I put in the firbolt 15T which I did a water break in on, and boy did that ramp up the power. No fitment issues at all. 21T pinion with the motor case built in fan left me running cool while bashing, with great get up and go.

Now i'm trying to decide the right KV brushless to go with, and do I want leapord, eZrun, or other. Forward only ESC right now = no stopping 'oh crap' moments.

That is awesome! And good advice for some of us who never seem to run a car...

Truck loads of fun. Makes me miss my RC10T I had as a teen. I'm thinking of converting this one to a stadium truck as buggy's actually aren't my thing. Just starting to research on that now. I had looked at going modern like rustler for that, but I just love gold pan for all it's pan glory.

Probably the lamest RC video in history, but it's what I do with my rc10! Passes by this little dirt spot after taking her to the indoor clay track at my LHS. In a mock race I beat out the field of 8 other than one slash 4x4. All this with the 15T firebolt motor, and no brake/reverse.

Flipped, bashes, rolled, crashed. I have yet to break anything. I don't think i could ever shelf one of these cars. I put on the Jconcepts wheels which are a direct fit for the RC10 and ordered the Pro-Line Dirt Hawgs 2.2 wheels. Figured i'd post a shot how they look in-cane anyone was wondering for their own build.

those JC Racing wheels look narrow for modern tires (your tires look very round/peaked across the tread). can you/anyone confirm that they are narrower than current wheels?

car looks awesome though

The right rear is sitting funny with the foam, because it is rounded, the left rear is flat. The 2 fronts seem flat too. The dirt hawgs are 1.73" wide for rears, and 1.28 fronts per pro-line website. The outside measurable lip to lip for fronts was 3/4". rears 1&3/8".

I used the entire foam that came with the tire. This probably should have been trimmed down some.

I had the same issues with the Dirt Hawgs, but didn't have them with the Pro Lines at all. I just trimmed the foams to make them fit better.

Welp. We went Frankenstein.

was always a lover of the stadium trucks. I wanted to convert my Rc10 into a RC10T since they share so many similar parts. I had just spent some money on the Jconcepts wheels, so I wasn't ready to go truck tire.

Picked up the RC10T, GT, T2 RPM arms NIP for 6 bucks each on ebay. Also off ebay T4 MIP bones since I already had the original MIP CVD's on there. 2x orders of the longer turn buckles, and 1x order of front inner RC10T hinge pins.

I love that buggy nose, so to be able to reach from the in-line steering block to the servo swing arm, i picked up 3" lundsford turnbuckles. The metal spacers just forward of the original hing mount is from the original server linkage which was just two pieces of wire pinched together by the grub screw in the spacer. Oddly enough, the OD of the pin is pretty much exactly the same as the ID of the spacer. There's no slop, in fact i'd need very nice micrometers to gauge the tolerance they fit so well.

Picked up an alumnium RC10T shock tower and nose in case this is fail. Waiting on painting my clear viper2 body in case I go full on truck. Also added a xl-5 ESC I got cheap, and protech battery straps,
