Re: rc10 "stealth" project
Steering and camber rods cut to length:
Front Steering: 37mm
Front Camber: 23mm
Rear Camber: 27mm
Steering Linkage: 24mm
EDIT: These turned out to be a little too short. On a few I had to add around 3-5mm.

Re: rc10 "stealth" project
I was piddling in garage this afternoon and had an idea. I wrapped the motor plate in paper towels then sprayed with carb and choke cleaner letting it soak for about ten minutes. The powder coat "wiped" off easily with a flat screwdriver. It was orange powder coat (see first post.)

Re: rc10 "stealth" project
I plan on using this car as a vintage up and down the street beater-tires will "adjust" in due course. Would appreciate it if you guys could suggest the best motor from my small collection for this car. Appreciate the feedback.

Re: rc10 "stealth" project-pick a motor from my collection
I agree with the above post. I used to race oval back in the day. Trinity is all I used.

Thanks for the input. I used the red '85 Trinity. Not liking this ESC, but here it is mostly complete (for now):

Thanks for the reminder...I ordered some button screws for the tubes today...trying not to drive it too much until they arrive. Admittedly the charger is ticking away now.
