AWWWWHHHH!!!

[dave g]

was that the same spoon you used to eat it with?

[super__dan]

I've got me feelers out as it were trying to find a car of my own, A very generous mate might be able to lend me a late spec stealth car next year on a few conditions.

One thing I haven't found yet is a dogbone for Jim :(

Hope you can get it sorted and come racing mate. The vintage racing was a real laugh- indeed, this weekends racing has been the best all year for me.

[dave g]

[dave g]

err dunno..make me an offer,i can only bite :)

dave

[jimmy]

oh well dave, sure I'll be seeing more of you in coming months. I really like that j28 place, I've been thinking about it all day like a nutter. If I win the lottery I will buy loads of them nitro beasties to review so I have an excuse, not that I need one.

[ashleyb4]

Um im not sure how much to offer you ??????

Any idea's northy your the vintage exspert how much.

[dave g]

What, you fear her more than me at the wheel? Them woods shots were insane :p

Well my first of 2 RC10's are on the way. The first is quite rough and will have to be canabalised for spares but every little helps. The other will be a couple of weeks coming so was going to spend my time wisely rebuilding this one so the bits are nice when I come to needing to rob them.

Are the current shock seals still the same size?

Anyone got a setup for an RC10? (now don't get me wrong, I don't mean a dialled setup but I've literally no idea what oil or pistons to put in the shocks at all???)

[Northy]

Dan,

Yes the seals are the same size.

Set-up:

Front

#1 piston
40wt oil
Green spring
Outside hole top
Outside hole bottom

Rear

#1 piston
35wt oil
Green spring
Inside hole top
Outside hole bottom

That'll be a good start. I'm gonna put stuff like this on my website when I get it sorted.

Think we should also do a gear ratio chart. :rolleyes:

Cheers,

G

I've added a little report to the pictures section on northernracer.

[super__dan]

Skills G, much appreciated. Unfortunatly the gold shocks on the first car I've got are knackered so won't be doing any setup till the nice car comes next week!

Ratio chart for a stealth gearbox and 6 gear would be handy.

Are the spurs on the stealth the same as on the B2?

[chrislee]

ive got a xb8 roller..it needs shocks,body and a spur gear setup..its immaculate with an aftermarket carbon kickup chassis..

I don't know if this is any help to anyone but...

do suspension arms (front & rear) for the RC10. Looks like they are still available to buy.
