F-150 541 Posted June 2 7 hours ago, IXLR8 said: Well, that stinks about the box. But, for what you have planned, it's probably not worth filing a claim. Anyway, here's my recommendation: For sale, one ultra-rare RC10 40th anniversary original box with patina appropriate for a 40 year old box. WOW! A true one-of-a-kind must-have for any RC collector. Buy it now before it's gone -- 4-eva! Yah I'm not worried about it. I'm going to have fun with this car, what it is made for. The box will be a give away, free of charge, lol The good thing is, I now have my dream rc10's, three now, one is a real vintage. The only other car I am determined to find, is, the ever scarce LOSI jrX2....it is the last remaining car I need for my collection. P.S. my 40rh chassis number is ,4272. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I’m showing my age by getting sick of mowing grass so it was replaced with Astro (sorry eco guys) but my rc cars love it 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Room335 840 Posted June 15 I've hit a few snags on this build. Maybe this helps some folks here: Right off the bat, Step 1. Pic shows 4 washers, text says 2. I guessed 2 and got lucky, as I needed the other 2 in a later step. The transmission build has been a challenge. One of the diff outdrives was binding while the other was smooth. I think it was the 1/4 oilite bushing. The internal retaining clip was a nightmare to remove. Had to buy a pair of snap ring pliers, which definitely helped. Removing the bushing proved to be another challenge as the compression fit was extremely tight. After finally getting it out, I used a flange bearing in it's place, and now everything is smooth. Maybe I just had a bad bushing? Last step of the transmission build...that note about cutting the slot. I would definitely recommend, as it was a real challenge to get that e-clip in place with it completely surrounded in plastic. That bearing adapter should have been molded with a slot. That's it so far. Maybe this helps someone! 1 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

That's the only reason I chose the 40th over fan RCs graphite worlds car. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Room335 840 Posted June 18 Anyone have tips for getting the axle pins in place? Associated uses roll pins, which are hollow and slotted, unlike Tamiya's solid pins. I assume they do this to allow for a compression fit, keeping them in place. I've tried needle-nose and channel-lock pliers with no luck. Very frustrating!

wtcc5 5581 Posted June 18 I always carefully use a small pipe wrench. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Room335 840 Posted June 18 Interesting. Thank you @wtcc5. Are you using the thumb screw of the pipe wrench to slowly drive the pin into place? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
wtcc5 5581 Posted June 18 @Room335: It is the kind of pipe wrench with different settings for the mouth opening size. I start with a fitting one, then use the next smaller setting until the pin sits. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
