another update
rpm arms are on
test fit the motor and stinger pipe i had (motor is bad so i need to rebuild or replace it hopefully the motor on the ds i just bought is good)
and test fit a body
looks like everything will work well (as long as i can find a route for the fuel line for the stinger)
Looks good! I picked up some of the gold paint, I figure if it doesn't turn out like I like it I can always huff it
I can't help it, I have to comment on the front body mount. "Turkeys done!"
It's time to stand up to the bully. Support the companies that support the industry, not the ones that tear it down. Say no to Traxxas Factory Works website
lol
i got the body mounts on my trip to the hobby store thats over 45 min away
they had a huge bin of old crap(again i call the old crap bin the gold bin lol)
everything was 50% off in the bin and the had a ton of these in there
i have been using the traxxas plastic ones (easy to cut down) but they are 5$ each at the close lhs
these came in packs of 2 so i bought like 6 packs lol
some of the other goodies in their so called crap bin

I've owned a Gold pan RC10 and RC10L since the mid 80's and now that that kid is old enough to move up from lame toy store trucks I went back to what I know.
I picked up a RC10GT off CL with an old AM Futaba and bad...

This pan is about .075 thick on the bottom and .050 on the side walls.
If I make another it will have an extra layer of biaxial in the floor.. It should come out at 0.100 thick. I have a plan to make another with the SC10 wheelbase.
My rc10 brushless project i designed and mare a mount out of flat aluminum it drives amasing ! Im goin to run carpet indoor oval and maybe offroad it all depends if i can get a setup that works ok both ways

Customworks RC makes one for their older DD cars that is machined, in case your formed one fails :wink:
And it will work with the laydown gt trans? I have a cw rocket and it uses the old style stealth T/B3 actually and they mount diffrent.... One...
I got this RC10GT way back when I was a teenager. Probably around 1998 or so. I bought it without an engine, so for one summer me and a friend ran it on a worn-out old OS engine he had. I fondly remember driving the hell out of this thing. Starting...

I got my RPM rear arm mounts in today so I got those dropped in the truck. And as I did I was sitting there flexing the rear end and even though it was a lot better with the addition of the aft engine mount/chassis stiffener, I still wasn't happy...
Picked this up a while back thinking it would make a good project. The chassis was near perfect so I didn't do anything besides strip and anno it gold. The parts were painted black, i stripped them and dyed them properly. Very happy with the color...

Wes, you made a huge mistake coming here :mrgreen: prepare for madness!
You should snap a few pics of your old race truck, if you need help posting em let me know. We have a lot of racers around here 8)
I have shared some photos of this in another thread years ago, but since then I've done more work to it. This is my RC10GT blue chassis I bought new like 20 years ago.
I converted it to a mid-motor, transverse battery electric
The motor bolts to...

Hi
Thanks for posting that chart I was looking for something like that. I'm also building a E-GT and almost done, just need some electrics and to paint the body.
I may have access to one of these that is in really good condition but I doubt the engine is usable. It seems that this chassis shape would hinder an E-conversion. But I also have a spare RC10 original buggy chassis. Does it make sense to combine...

this is my solution to e-gt and flex in the chassis. no new holes, the lower part of the waterfall picks up the motor mount holes.
I thought I would share my experience building, track testing, and bashing my RC10GT brushless conversion. I've seen some really nice builds doing these conversions but could never find a whole lot about the end result as far as performance and is...

So far it's been very durable and very fast and when I consider that I only have a couple hundred bucks in the whole thing, I would do it again in a heartbeat.
What gearing are you using? Original 32 Spur right?
What pinion? I have a 48p 84...
