RC10Talk - The Net's Largest Vintage R/C Community

Couple updates, probably wont be able to post pics until this weekend.

Got my CRT .5 wheels to try, and my RPM yellow mini bumper. Body was shot solid yellow also. I need to sticker it up (would really like old stickers, I have a Hot Trick Stuff sticker already, thinking a Parma & JG stickers maybe).

Joey, when you get that thing up and running, head on down to pegasus on a saturday with it! I've been bringing a couple of my rc10s when I go to show and hot lap in between heats. There are a couple of oldskool racers there running new stuff now and they always get a kick out of seeing the old cars run

I keep trying, but Hockey with the boy in the AM, and wife and kids dont really see me much during the week makes it hard to get out there. I know, I am dying to drop this thing on the track and lay down some laps. I will bring my RB5 as a back up!!

Pics...as promised, still need to make a speedo tray and mount up the Mamba....then RACE!!

body off shots...CRT wheels/HPI adaptors are a great fit.

Great job!! Those are 1/4 axles? can you give me the PN of HPI adapters?

Pretty cool, now expecting a race report

HPI 6120

These are easily modified for 3/16" axles by drilling the center hole, they fit 1/4" out of the bag. You will probably have to cut off the nub that protrudes into the (HPI) wheel when using them on other 12mm wheels.

Thanks for the PN, but i just found 4 of those adaptators in my crawler spare parts box.

I would guess that if you wanted to put these on 3/16" axles, you could get TC3 or TC4 hexes.

The HPI set includes those too...

Very cool, I am glad my old shock tower could help you out there buddy!

Thank you too Dr. Rob!!


Now the next time I dye stuff black, I will have to remember to put it in the batch.

Well, been a while since I have been able to work on any of my cars, so I finished up the Mamba install and ran a couple test packs. Here are some pics while the battery was charging, "borrowed" the wife's new camera also...you can see where the chassis was cut down, and the addition on a graphite rear truck tower.

looks good, joey. so how does it run?
