** What's Old is New Tech Thread **

[vintage AE]

Just wanted to say thanks to Jason for providing continuous tech support for the old but new builds I know others have chimed in too, but it seems like Jason has been quite devoted.

How long have these builds been going on now? Has to be at least 5 years or so by now.

it's been awhile. probably early '08 when i pitched the idea to paul, and he had the parts on hand to start running with it.

Didn't find by search..

When upgrading to b4 slipper, can I use #7485 ft v2 slipper hubs and #7486 slipper spring & washer instead of #9604 hubs and #9605 slipper spring?

Absolutely!

One more stupid question from newbie =)

I need body for my RC10CE, but is there a difference between ASC6121 Viper and ASC6160 Protech?
Can i just get the one that looks better? =) Or is there more bodies to fit?

What about the wings? ASC6186 is fine?

[JK Racing]

Hakase, just get which body you like better. Any wing (1/10th scale) should be find, again, pick what you like.

That body is swwweeeet!

That body is swwweeeet!

Thanks. You know I mixed the orange with this gold metal flake I found in a bargain bin so in person it glitters. The royal blue is metalic too because thats what I had available. No way to get the camera to catch it tho. I learned a bit from your Thingy build btw.

[vintage AE]

Maybe a photo in direct sunlight will bring out some of the glitter...maybe

My buggy thingy was a fun build and is still going strong today. It's a build where I didn't worry too much about looks and focused more or the fun aspect of a RC10 that can be had without racing in mind. Your build looks just as sweet as the body btw.

[Showcase1186]

Very nice paint job on that last 10! Perfectly sums up what's old is new!

[GoldRush]

here is my hat in the ring....standard recipe minus the gt front axels...have to get a set of inline blocks but is pretty much the standard recipe and handles awesome. i plan on another old is new buggy but it will be a cut down tub with b4 body. here are a few pics with 2 different bodies...let me know what you think.

you're using the 10t steering bellcrank? so you have it set up long wheelbase?
