You Am I posted:Cool old beast there dude. How's the parts availability on it like? Surprisingly good. Tower caries all sorts of parts like suspension arms, bearing carriers, castor blocks, bodys, transmission case and gears, and etc. Some parts like shock towers or the rear bulkhead aren't available though. Luckily I only had to outright replace small parts like the ball cups, bearings, and the battery cup. Did a bit more work tonight:

Finished up my rc10. I need a slower motor for this thing. With this 17t motor its going over 30mph. I am paranoid I am going to break this thing if I blink and can't have any fun with it, lol.

Well back in the day the reason motors weren't very low turn is because batteries sucked. Also, that isn't the original original rc10 with a 6 gear tranny, it is a little newer and has the 3 gear stealth tranny. Pretty much the same one they use today.

Here's my Honcho. I had a blast with it over the winter. A bunch of racing buddies and I got into crawlers over the off season. One of them has like 40 acres of old farm land. We were over there every week beating the crap out of our trucks. I'm not big on all the little scale details, cause like I said we beat the living poo poo out of our trucks. It has full steel mip/robinson drivetrain, 32p gears, powered by a 19t or 20t (I forget) 550 airplane motor on 3s with a brxl esc inside a waterproof box. Also has the hand bros chassis mounted steering, and r2j customs steel 4link truss in the rear.

Laserface posted:Soooo I recently accidentally reversed the wiring from my battery to ESC (stupid non-keyed bullet plug lipo packs). the battery and ESC are fine however I did manage to set my capacitor board on fire and consequently destroy it. It isn't completely necessary, but I would put one on there just in case. It really does help keep the esc cool and also give you a bit more punch. If you don't wanna buy an overpriced premade one just get a couple capacitors of the same rating and solder them to the esc battery leads. Make sure the caps you get are labeled as "Low ESR".

powderific posted:I'm in the midst of building my SCX10 and it's really fun but there are some annoying inconsistencies. It seems that it didn't come with enough of the little things that go on the ends of the control arms, and has a couple extra weird ones that don't appear anywhere else in the kit instructions. So now I need to order another parts tree to get enough parts to finish the kit. There are also a few steps that need updating as the kit has apparently changed. Are you talking about the short ball ends? The instructions start off telling you to get them from the shock parts tree, but there are more on some other tree. I forget which one, but they are in there.

Here's some pics I took of our first off road race we finally had on Labor Day. We have been working on this off and on for almost a year now. Between freezing temps, boiling temps, rain, and humidity we finally got it mostly done. Enough to hold a decent race on it anyways. Its still pretty rough, so it was basically 8th scale and short course only for now. http://imgur.com/a/YYW5Y Anyone have any tire tips for a hard packed, dusty track?

mehall posted:there was a link ages ago of someone testing and comparing the effects of different angles or wings and stuff on f1 rc, thats the link I was looking for rather than just straight comparison for different wongs themselves. IIRC it was a scan of a japanese RC mag.

Just finished my wraith last night. Just in time for the weekly trail run!  I love this thing. I should have gotten one a long time ago. Stock it was doing amazing, even on a dinky integy 45t motor I had laying around. I am liking 45t motors. I was worried because my larger 4000mah 3s packs don't fit in the wraith battery tray because it is sized for standard hardcase packs, but I only used 1 and a half of my small 2200mah packs and we covered at least 2 miles, with a lot of stopping and fooling around in particularly fun spots.

Here's my wraith: Rest of the pics from that day: https://www.facebook.com/media/set/?set=a.10203423498727006.1073741837.1198555411&type=1&l=b987c4380f We've been having pretty huge groups on trail runs. Its pretty awesome. Hard to get pics of everyone though.

Zapping a battery like that is only a short term thing, it damages it in the long run. I would try cycling the battery several times. If its just old and has been sitting a long time it may come back. Maybe grab a cheap RC smart charger so you can see how many mah you are putting into it when you charge, and how many come out on the discharge. Keep cycling it until the capacity doesn't go up any more. http://www.hobbyking.com/hobbyking/store/__33281__IMAX_B6_Charger_Discharger_1_6_Cells_COPY_USA_Warehouse_.html
