Here too usually. If it is indeed a TMaxx, and the motor and trans are in workable condition, I could probly buy it, spend a little time cleaning it up, and get at least $150 for it...assuming it's not totally trashed. Say what you want about them, they do sell well...I've rebuilt several of them, and there's always some profit there for my time. A buck is a buck, when bills come due...
So, you stay up late and fall asleep, forgetting to bid on ebay and miss the killer deal. :?
You find a load of parts and just as the deal is about to go through the seller stops emailing. :x
You just cannot quite afford the price even though...

I dunno if that's a typo Terry, but I never put it on ebay, I was interested in buying it and asked for your guy's opinion. I got a valuation from you all (cheers :) )and struck up a deal with the seller which eventually didn't go through, can't...
Since some time I have interest (again) in 1/8 onroad cars and also collect a few of them and 1/8 stuff as mufflers, bodies etc.
I know I´m not the only one here having 1/8 cars and interest in this but finding informations seems a little difficult...

So one place for all guys (and gals of course, if there are) who have or like old 1/8 scale cars, onroad only please.
So, as I am getting another YR-4 (this time an M2 US version) after many years and parts are hard to come by at times specific to the YR-4 chassis I had a few questions. I did race a YR-4 years ago in Germany with the Keil DTM cup / series but have...

Well there were a lot more variations of the YR-4, but the original is what stays closest to the buggy indeed. There even is a bugg version of the YR-4: called hotdog. It basically is a YR4 with with works 91 suspension arms and axles. Even the...
This is my first post on RC10talk. I found an RC10T online and am planning on turning it into a street truck. The chassis is in really good shape. All I really need to replace are some turnbuckles and other small bits and it will be ready to roll....

I finished the truck awhile ago but screwed up a new body. I ran it with an old body until Treehugger helped me better trim out a new lid - Thanks again!
I've added the RPM trans, CVDs, and the new body since last posting DSCN1745.jpg DSCN1857.jpg
Woot! My Scorp came in, so naturally I'm all I want this&that&this&this&those... I magine a few of you chaps are also! So this is the place to chat about wanted/needed parts, pieces & such-like. I'm thinking I may start with a set of machined,...

The adjustable motor plate has issues- Stock, it uses flathead screws to mount flush. You can't slot those, or they only tighten in 2 small spots, so regular screws would be needed and the gear cover will not allow uise of these. The gear cover is...
This is a quick video on how I cut some front towers for my Kyosho Turbo Ultima.
I design and draw everything on CAD and print on regular paper. Taped to material (2.5mm thick G-10 fiberglass sheet) with carpet tape and cut using a jewelry hand...

I'm aware of the G10 and FR4 from Mcmaster and smallparts.com, but what do you guys think of this? From a skimboard website I found that texalium has a little more flex than full CF, but still stronger than FG. I like the color options...
