Re: RC10 Classic 40th anniversary
If they want more money from me they need to make a rere RC10DS
Consistency is the key I keep misplacing.

Re: RC10 Classic 40th anniversary
just about to post reply asking who would buy this for $20! The target would be guys on this forum among other places, but there's no itch whatsoever to buy this thing for $20.
Then I realized I just bought ball bearing kits for the 40th and CC that will never be run

Re: RC10 Classic 40th anniversary
Don't feel bad.
If I went by that logic, only like three of my cars would even have electronics in them. And none of those are nice ones.
My view is that all of my cars should be ready to run, regardless if I have any intention to do it.
Always looking for new and interesting ways to waste money.

Re: RC10 Classic 40th anniversary
Well I just actually got an email from AE saying that they are pretty much not going to make spare parts for the 40. Sent a link with suggestions. All this after I was trying to put something together and the screwdriver slipped and I ended up putting a hole in the side of the transmission case ![🤦♂️](//cdn.jsdelivr.net/gh/twitter/twemoji@latest/assets/svg/1f926-200d-2642-fe0f.svg)
Only I could be this stupid.

Re: RC10 Classic 40th anniversary
If you can say that this hobby has mental challenges, that is one of the most difficult for me. Hitting that "PLACE ORDER" button on a couple hundred bucks worth of electronics, that you already own, and are just sitting there in a car that is simply sitting on the shelf.juicedcoupe wrote: ↑Wed Jun 19, 2024 6:43 am If I went by that logic, only like three of my cars would even have electronics in them.

Re: RC10 Classic 40th anniversary
That definitely is a hole. Do you still have the piece? It could be super glued (CA) back in place and would not cause any gearbox issues.

Re: RC10 Classic 40th anniversary
when life gives you a screwdriver slip, open a window. Or something like that.

Re: RC10 Classic 40th anniversary
The piece is somewhere on the floor
I’m thinking about some CA gel in there might work or some putty that hardens to fill the hole.

Re: RC10 Classic 40th anniversary
They put clear acrylic or lexan in there to prevent dirt from getting in but it would definitely be one more thing to go wrong. For a display it would be awesome!
You could make a piece of material to drop in that area, maybe some old plastic laying around. Wouldn't take much to make it functional. It just wouldn't be necessarily pretty. Honestly even a drop of hot glue or some shoo goo would seal it up good.

Re: RC10 Classic 40th anniversary
Find a white nylon plug just slightly bigger that the hole, and drill it out to fit the plug. Might look a little better.
