Get it bought and run!

I'm just putting a stealth RC10 back together to run, but if I'm getting beat i'll throw the bosscat on!

Cool.

There a few Gold tubs on Ebay USA, only the one JRX tho' and I'm not paying that much,

I may do a Doughty and jump ship to AE.

Are body shells available for RC10's? I'd want to do it in the black & white.

Northy · #23 08-10-2006

Yeah you can get them Stu.

Hello Stu! back from my trips around Europe, hope you had a good time at f3's and in the pikey van, no more thefts I hope!

I have an RC10 body on order at Rossy models, should have turned up by now?!!

Engine coming out of RS2000 tommorrow night if you want to help? I can pass the JRX2 on if you want to get it race ready, shocks and KO receiver.

Looking forward to Mull, Goozer already on phone telling me where we are watching.

Got some new Kumho's on the Scooby so looks like we are going up in that.

Northy, I need some RC10 front wheels that are one piece so I can fit proper tyres, my wheels don't have the plastic ring for the centre, you did say you might have some going spare??

Club night on Jan 6th may be another operatuneatitty, that would give,

Nov 25
Jan 6
March 24

Maybe 2 results from 3 to count?

Motors? Maybe the 20 turn silvercan 540's will be a good compromise between 27's & 19 Specs.
Who can get hold of a few?

Ya man, Sunday Best is the fella. I think its an HPI motor if you know of anywhere else?

I need a rabbit to clean my garage floor after the RS has just haemoraged oil all over it.

Can I borrow Marshal as he seems to be excelling at this job?

WHITTLER555 · #29 08-10-2006

Stu, did you really mean to type this or is it on your mind or heaven forbid you are doing it as you type??!!

sorry, he takes ages to clean

Northy · #32 09-10-2006

Motors then guys, what should we run?

jimmy · #33 09-10-2006

Stuff like my chain drive dogfighter wont really like a 19 turn, but I do have a NEW hornet and frog- both of those could cope with it I think. only trouble then is tyres.
outdoors on grass and stuff it wont really be too important - especially with crap motors
but indoors my frog / dogfighter tyres aint gonna have any grip at all on the polished floor

Stu · #34 09-10-2006

I think we should get some silvercans off Sunday Best, 20 Turn if available. Who has some info on these (are they HPI motors)?

Jimmy, we may be able to get a bit a sponsorship from whoever can supply the things, even if we can just et the motors at a reduced rate.

Coming back to something Mr W said earlier on I think anything originally released pre-1990, so the Frog could be in, even tho its a re-release.

York already run a 540 class, which I believe you can get a 20 turn jobbie now with a built in fan. Run forever, no maintainance

It was G.

jimmy · #36 09-10-2006

some stuff the likes of Tamiya might improve beyond the original spec.. but the FROG is pretty much exactly as crap as it ever was - but just made stronger like having proper drive shafts instead of HEX shafts that wore out in 2 runs.

Stu · #37 09-10-2006

Jimmy, run the frog, you can add the pics to your review.

G is gonna ask Phil T Stud to add Jan 6th to the fixture list.

jimmy · #38 09-10-2006

sounds good

Stu · #39 09-10-2006

HPI part number 1136 - anyone got contact details for Adam Skelding?

jimmy · #40 09-10-2006

I've got his email address. Long as they aint spenny thats cool. it would be good to all have the same motor.. I have a few silver can motors from Tamiya kits - but who knows what differences there might be between them
