Found this on cl Saturday. Was filthy. It was an awesome weekend spent complete tear down and restore and bleach. Did end up buying a donor truck on Sunday to complete. Spent less than half the price of a FT T4.1 and Tuesday night's race was all I need to know that I made the right decision.
After restoration with new electronics:
Restored the donor car parts and the Stealth looked too good not to display:
(Anyone recognize the motor?)
As raced on Tuesday with stock setup and pink taper pins:
Thanks and good luck saving those cars on cl from the attics!

I was too stoked on the drive home to get this cleaned up!
I found a gold pan a stamp the weekend before so I was in the chop shop and clean ZONE!
I've said it before, I just need a go pro on my hat at all times.
This week, Im going to try and get the donor T together to be set my brother up in 17.5 with me. That's gonna require dipping into the RC10 B Stamp CE toss outs...
Stay tuned, it's gonna be Frankensteined!

You called it on the driver. Can't live without it these days(nights) in the hobby zone.
I use the AE FT driver bits and this thing rules.
I think it was less than $40...
Do it!
Careful on assembly: Can over torque!

Thanks.
Yes that set up is as stock as it gets with 32.5 front, 30 rear. The run in the vid is with the short wheelbase. I have since gone long and testing on that same track went great. Racing tonight to see if I can't be more consistent.
Side note: Some folks were simply astounded at the tolerances and lack of play on my truck. I've been racing the B4.1 and B44.1 for a few years and no matter what I've replaced or how I build it, it's never been as tight as the white plastic on my 10T. Fellow racers where blown away at the manufacturing quality on my truck. Some where aware of it and others had no idea rc could be so precise!
I hope stadium gains popularity, or I'm gonna have to build a 17.5 B pan buggy. Not that I wouldnt want to, it's just that Stock Stadium is just so flow and mellow!
I've purchased pretty much everything white plastic and pan in my area off craigslist over the past few months. The collection has taken over my workspace. With all that, I hope to get something started in the likes of 17.5 vintage buggy(pre xxx/b2) but not sure how to approach this idea to my scene. I'd love to make sure folks could race with some confidence that it wouldnt be an ebay battle to get a new arm or shock shaft. Kinda like a donation/vintage/spec club thing. Any words of advise? I'll search this site as well to see how folks get it going.

for buggy a pretty stock rc10ce makes a great modern racer, as well as the rc10talk OIN style.
xx's are killer, so are pro se's if you want to try losi.
The truck blew minds again last night and was less than .04 off the fastest last for stock truck. Having a blast with the stock setup, probably wont change anything, just learn to drive it faster to pull what I can from her.
Now to get some repo bodies painted up and finish the second chassis!!
Thanks again for this great forum

incase you have trouble getting a body, t2 and t3 shells fit. i use a t3 and relocated one of the rear body posts to the center of the shocktower (you only need 1 mount in the back for the t3 shell)
So I found this while doing another deal. Guy wanted a crawler so I traded him a fully built TRX4 sport. Actually ended up with another truck (the red humvee) and an extra esp z4 chassis and wheels/tires too.

All I knew about it was that it was a clodbuster and it had alot of aluminum parts.
And now you know you have a month or two of mortgage/rent if you ever need it.
Not sure what I got here. Couple of pics. Let me know what you guys think. Worth a restore? IMG_20230629_153413.jpg IMG_20230629_153415.jpg IMG_20230629_153418.jpg

I think 🤔
possible. When we had the LHS he knew I liked the white parts and he had a newish all white parts black pan and he did NOT like white parts so he paid me to change them all to black...which I was happy to...
Found this YZ10 last week,the owner bought it as a kit in '94,ran it four times on asphalt and shelved it.
The tires were dry rotted and one shock was slightly leaky.
I couldn't get over how original it was,all of the kit screws are there,no rounded...

You can tell its not real, the exhaust is too small! :shock:
OK, so not quite a barn find, but giving the condition it is in, I felt the title was appropriate!
I've owned this Madcap since new - I'm not sure of the year - but it was a Christmas present from my parents sometime in the early Nineties. After...

I also found my old fast charger - I remember saving up hard for this bad boy - originally I only had one battery and the slow charger, so I was limited to about one run a day!
Can these old nicad units charge nimh batteries? If not, what is my best...

Got this old girl thrown in a box of rc , pretty poor condition, but getting hard to find.
These used to kick the Tamiya hotshots when i was younger.
Conditions too poor for a shelf queen so going to have some fun instead. Fibreglass chassis, and...

Well finally found a suitable belt for the pulleys Powge S3M516, so 516 teeth.
Looks a bit silly as its only 3mm wide but sourcing a wider one from Xray hopefully.
Also sorted out the CVD's
Found an easier solution for the rocky, ran the 3racing...
Years ago I got my built in 1989 JRX2 off ebay. All it said was new built in 1989 never ran, with like two blurry dark pics of a car and box. The price I paid was either a steal or gamble. When it showed up new as could be with original sales...
