LAST WEEK AT the tamiya race one of the guys there told me to go to an old hobby shop for old rc10 parts well it was like walking in time, there was so much white plastic there i bought it all, and tons of old bodies and such im gonna run up there on sat after work around 1 or so if any one wants to come just pm me for my number. also if theres any part # anyone needs just pm. this place has super old stuff its not cheap about retail but when you have an old dynamic 1/8 scale nib on your self and an old rc500 4wd conversion conversion stuff really didnt move out. ill take some pics its like walking back in time.

I hit my local shop that has been in business for many years today too and they had tons of old associated parts but no kits... most of the parts are not rc10 tho..
that web address has been around quite awhile. every time i e-mailed then about the availability of parts that were on their site, it took at least 3-4 weeks to get a reply, for them to tell me they don't have it.
YAH THEolder lady thats there is very nice and let me rummage for there parts in the bins, the younger kid wasnt very helpfull and looked like he did the internet sales.

They list pure-tech as s manufacturer, but no link to a product page. Could you check to see if they have any velcro battery straps?
I'd gladly buy a couple of the ones with the mounts for the rc10/jrx2
I'll try emailing them too.
Thanks,

I took a trip down to Lunsford today. He is only about 90 minutes from my house. I have spoke with him but never met him until today. I walked in and was overwhelmed by Kelly. I heard lots of great stories and also cleared up a lot of details about...

Like Farmer said, you just have to dig deep to find the good stuff. Scour Craigslist every day, you NEVER know what you are going to find. When searching SPELL THINGS WRONG in the search! Sometimes people misspell things and searches won't find...
It's a Tamiya chassis HPI bbs wheels and a Nissan wagon body. I love station wagons but not very many to choose from as far as R/C bodies go, plus I love woodies. :D

I have some Tamiya alloy body mount arms with square-shaped holes. I suppose if one wanted to, one could swap the square-ended body posts with normal white round-ended ones...but I digress. Back on topic. :mrgreen:
I've been trying to rebuild my Team Car's diff for a little while here. It just seems gritty, and I haven't found any posts yet that have done the trick. I've tried tearing it down, washing everything in solvent, cleaning the outdrive hubs w/ a...

Well, you need to check the adjustment frequently when you use new parts. The parts will wear in or seat very quickly. This means that for the first run, and a few successive runs you need to check for slipping. after a handfull of runs though, the...
