Anything beyond that I'd suggest you bring a small broom, dust pan, magnet, and a ziplock bag to collect any salvageable remains from your inevitable crash
Thank God at least someONE is getting it

I'm so looking forward to these Chris! My build really needs a front set of those rims too
About done drawing 'em now Mate, you'll get 'em back soon! (Of course, people know that by 'Soon' I mean eventually. Maybe.
I think I'll do a set of outers, like the originals, for the hardcores & a 1-pc. set of 4 solids also. I'll proto 'em as soon as I can, likely (?) before the kits ship, and an Email after the kits are out. Wish Tower would ship it already!! Chris REC

it really matters the battery you use . my buddy is running a small lipo in his 6 gear with a 13.5 and i think its faster then my stealth with a 10.5 running 6cell nimh. he has not had any problems and hes not running outdrive bearings ( outdrive bearings is a must for my 6gear runners)
I've started shooting photos of the spare parts for the RC10 Classic. I'll be posting them here soon - today or tomorrow! 10 altogether.
One thing I've noticed - some of the part number/part descriptions do not match up with the earlier RC10 catalog part number/part descriptions, so you won't want to order based on old paper catalogs. Why this is, I don't know.
parts.....the things ive been waiting for the longest now. see if i can get some stealth outdrives, rear bulkheads, and possibly some 1/4" UJ. oh and some
Dang. The chassis is listed at $71.99 and the nose at 26.69. A bit higher than the days of old, but the plastic prices seem pretty good. I also noticed the spur gear was 48-pitch.
just items im seeing without pictures so im guessing htey are new ones.
10.99 rear wheels
9.99 front wheels
13.69 for a drive gear
14.59 for a motor plate
4.59 for a rear bulkhead
5.49 for a battery cup, please let it be white.
So, back long ago when I was in middle school and bashing around with my RC10 CE and regularly reading RC Car Action, I seem to remember a how-to published on how to modify the 6-gear transmission in order to reduce internal friction. I don't really...

here it is:
you can do it two ways, running a spacer inside the outdrive where the inner non flanged bearing went, or with a sleeve on the outside of the outdrive behind the 3/8 x 5/8 bearing.
Hi guys. Here is my Team Associated World's Car re-release. I completed the build last year (Sept. 2016). Some of you might remember seeing it. I haven't done anything to it since then, and it has only been driven a couple times. It was a really fun...

Savox can be loud, I almost always use the same model, some make noise and others not a peep. Go figure. I saw a review online that showed Turnigy 1258 is basically identical but around $40. I may try one.
do they give full PDF archives with pictures or just rsandom pages?

so you have to pay $20 a year for this? Or does $20 pay for life? I subscribe to the magazine now, they should give it to me for free lol
the sub is $20 per year. but once you download them you have them. It is quite a large amount to download...
Anyone remember Jeepinator(sp?) from the RCCA forums? He was a huge ae fan, and I still remember him buying the first production graphite RC10, and he had many other sweet RC10's. Man I was jealous of him. And Im also jealous of many on these...

Well I'll give you a lesson the handful of dirt oval racers (myself included) have learned. The way to get the coverage you're looking for us certainly not by being negative about what you HAVE received. From any magazines side of it, we look at not...
Hey gang. Long story short-ish, I pulled my vintage clodbuster and rc10 team car out of my dad's storage and wanted to get them going again. The clod is all stock and and the rc10 qas sporting a novak 410 m5 with a speed gems onyx 14t brushed motor....
