Saw this last night and I totally agree!
Last week Dave "sofaking" sent me an email about it.
Beautiful looking parts but I may have to send him a book on Marketing 101 :P

Hey, if you guys don't want to be part of FB, or at least just join to be part of some vintage RC groups, continue to miss out on stuff. :wink:

Sorry Jason, I can't be bought :wink:

Only if there was a Website dedicated to the RC10...

In this instance, no. We're not talking about a known 30+ year old part.

Some parts arriving. More this weekend....
What did I do? Now tracking down TRX-1 parts.
I will rebuild the ones I regret selling.

This build is going to take some time. I have most of the parts.
Chassis is a little delayed. I will try and build a SRT the next couple weeks to keep me busy.

Yes I think all will be good. The chassis was already tested by Craig Drescher.

I’m sure maybe they got some dialed in, but in this picture the back end of the tubs look like fruit roll-ups….
I’ve got no experience with molding CF but I’m pretty certain if the sides are standing up the rest of the tub isn’t still pliable.
Don’t get me wrong I’m not hating on this at all. I’m liking it alot, manufacturing even small batch is a bitch. Hopefully they get the kinks sorted out soon enough.

Could be the photos too, I know that I struggle to take a pic that doesn't make it look like there is an inch of toe in sometimes when it's zero

Nice lil’ parts gather. Your building a B4 trans for this chassis ?
Oh and btw the pic of your WOIN build is great. Came out looking like a real show stopper. Nicely done 8)

Mine always look like the camber was set by a blind person.
