Just finished building and painting :thumbsup:

As usual tho it has a 4.5T losi system

(God i love the misses, she came up trumps this christmas :woot:)

Andy

Bet you were chuffed to bits opening that Andy! Look forward to another SC10 at the next meet even though the 4.5T sounds scary...

Cheers Ryan you kept that under your hat :thumbsup:

I think i`ll have to invest in a 10.5t losi motor soon

Until then i`ve knocked everything down on my laptop (Xceleron) but it still acts like a right weapon :thumbsup:

Did you use diff oil? I`ve put some 8000 in?

Andy

Yeah I was dreading you coming into the shop and mentioning anything SC10 haha!

I built my diff dry, it stated nothing in the manual so left it dry and it drives OK so I cant see the need to change it.... If someone can recommend a silicone oil I'll probably run it but otherwise I'm happy with a dry diff.

Yeah but that black stuff looked grim so i thought what the hell as its a sealed diff :thumbsup:

And i`m sure as eggs are eggs i`ll be in mithering you for some spares been looking at this servo

As the one i have cheapo futaba s3003 and doesn`t seem much cop tbh

Andy

Yeah anything around that price range will be suitable but I would get metal gears preferably. Nothing worse than stripping the plastic gear on the servo, get metal gears and let the servo saver worry about nasty impacts.

Cheers Ryan

Didn`t realise that didn`t have metal gears but ant road i`ll pop in soon

Andy :thumbsup:

Yep sounds like your misses is a good un pal top marks for her!!

You should have said though I would have bought you a nice colour paint for the sc lol

yeh yeh who am I to talk about paint schemes!!

Ps 501x may be coming up for sale soon thinking of
moving to the dark (kyosho) side !

Jammi bas*^+d
 

Yes mate wish my misses would have bought me one jammi bas#^*d.
Bought the wife them f*^king uggs yesterday £140 choked!!
Only because Im buying myself a new toy to smash your sc10 and any other sc10 that gets in my way will be destroyed!!

Buds

The paint job looks alot better in the flesh (honest) :lol:

likin u new car......
 

jammy git.....looks smart your sc10 thingy

Looks like the truck class is going to be alot more interesting next time out :)

looks like am the only dude here thats got just one car....well that would be blagging i have two but thats on loan...

I might need you to buy it. Looks like I need the money so I can get this, convert my ST1 to electric and then stand a chance in Trucks again. I'm suspecting my SODA might be too fragile to compete against Andy with an SC10 and Dave with an 1/8th

eight hate
 

god i hate 8th scale. to scarey to marshal. might build my own from iron and wood and spikes . can it have its own class. robot wars class :woot:

Oh dear - Soda truck is hitting problems now. Shell has arrived (Proline Hardcore) but it looks like the wheelbase for the XX4 is a full 5cm shorter than the Slash and without butchery that shell is never going to fit. And at £25 its a bit mad to slice it up.
So that means exchanging for a conventional truck shell and risking exposed wishbones. Those being the only set of Soda truck front wishbones in existence makes me nervous........

INCOMING!!
http://i60.photobucket.com/albums/h3...-plane-on-.jpg

Its all solved - sort of. And its bad news for Andy too!

Turns out the shell thats currently on the RC10T fits the SODA nicely, and the side bulges cover the nerf bars. Wheels are exposed but wishbones aren't and there is a lot of shell for strength.

But that leaves me with an RC10T without a shell and a Slash shell thats too long. Then it hit me - make a new, longer chassis for the RC10T. So the plan is the RC10T is going to get a 5cm longer chassis ali chassis, and a Slash shell, to become a proper short course tank, I mean truck......

I`m totally lost!

Basically instead of a 4wd short course truck I'm going to have a 4wd conventional truck and a 2wd short course truck with an ally chassis. That RC10T has shown its tough already, just imagine it longer and heavier, in an all enclosing shell.

I'll start with the 4wd truck as it should be faster, but you would be advised against using dirty tactics to break it, because I'll have a near indestructible 2wd truck I can use in its place and I'll be out for revenge.......

lost in bitsss
 

i've just cleaned mine, thats if anyones interested lol

si sounds like u have u work cut out....

am looking at adding a 4wd dont yet know if i fancy a old cat reckon i'd break it alot and would get expensive might just get a short course truck to join the party man my visa getttin HOT!!!!!

HAPPY NEW YEAR BURY CLAN WATS EVERYONE UP TO???????

Erm - I couldn't break that Cat in 10 years! Lost a few driveshaft blades (ask Rob about the new outdrives), stripped a couple of spurs and cracked a shock tower once (£4).

But truck is where its at! Get another Stinger, Johnnys is bombproof!

Anyone want to buy a x6!! lol

joking never happen......

Si the whole reason I want a 1/8 is to test your antiques to destruction by the way ty has already got one and that is going to be stupidly fast.
Rip rc10t
Rip soda
Rip sc10

buds

But I've got a 1/8th too. And its a truggy so bigger than a buggy. Its just not been converted to electric yet. But it could be.......

Mark - convert your X6 to an X60! Its a longer chassis , T4 wishbones, driveshafts and turnbuckles.

wasted
 

si i am sure your a top teacher but , i think your talents might be slightly wasted. is there any rc tech info you do not posses maybe you could be a uni lecturer in rc.. i might even go back and enroll on it myself. getting a dino myself but gonna give it a new school twist, i will be in touch :thumbsup:

scared . really
 

i am scared for the stingers life and my own. 8th is taking over .goona need a softy 10th truck class and a deadly 8th class soon. or do i need to get a 8th to keep up wi the destruction,,,, dangerous with me at the wheel:woot:

1/8th isn`t and never will take over

It doesn`t fit on a 10th track tbh

I could carry on but i wont.....

Andy (my opinon) :p

1/8th sound worst than thrash metal...lol
 

Am with you that one 1/8th is a good class just dont suit electric in them and dont get me started on the sound....everyone has differant taste and my is more or the cheap and cheerful reckon 1/8th is a visa killer and no friller.....

Si might look into truck convere for the x6 and we need to chat about u cat looking at mo for more electric stuff esc,servo's,motor....

anyone got any 10th stuff for sale that i can put in a cat...:)

i have a 4.5T xcelorin system mark pm me if you are interested but it will rip the gutts out of that granny mobile :thumbsup:

Andy

Nice SC10 Andy, I didnt want you all alone in the truck class dude so i got myself a truck-ish type thing. Had a quick look at the spec's when buying a new motor i know you got the super fast 4.5t losi, my X12 5.5 has 390 watts of power so i made sure my new one had just a touch more....... A 1000 watts more (1340W):woot:.....Going to have to add fire hose to my pit box:lol:

All the best dude, and happy new year to all :thumbsup::thumbsup::thumbsup:
