R/C car thread!

[Zychotic1]

If I saw a real truck with that much car cancer I would question a lot of things... mainly why hasn't it collapsed into a black hole of rust 🤣

one of the teachers at my elementary school had a yota that bad... he'd always say it'd run till the body fell away... it lost a bedside leaving a football game. the week after he built a wood bed for it he closed the door in the school parking lot one morning and the cab collapsed around the floor (roof all the way to the seat)... it sat in that spot for 3 years... lol


neat bike, I've seen videos and people complain they don't turn tight enough for their tracks, but I never realized just how huge it is. guess thats why it won't fit around a 1/10 track too well

Ya, that's how old Toyota trucks look in Michigan after decades of salt

I got the truck out this morning though and had a few rips with it through the vineyard while I was checking the grapes:

Yet another Vanquish VS410 RTR - added some wheels and have the Incision light kit and some servos to install still.

And got the H10 Optic kit in too...

Axles built up last night...

I really want a Vanquish Optic myself, preferably the kit.
Anyway my latest adds:







Also threw some better shocks on this Tamiya TC-01 that I still haven't finished the body on:

Nice!! I need to pick up that Golf (or the Beetle one they have), would be fun to take to the park.
Yeah, the H10 Optic KIT is a crap-shoot on what livery you get... you don't get to pick - you just get what you get.
Funny too, because out of the 6, I got the only one I really didn't want (not a fan of yellow...).

But honestly, after seeing it, it's not really that bad - and it is kinda cool that it's a surprise. I did their Trucks Of Freedom in the summer of 2023 - and got just under $1200 worth of stuff for $699.99. The Red VS-410 I have was from that, and got a crap ton of parts for it...

Don't think I've posted the red one... LOL!!

Stock plastic wheels...

Vanquish wheels, bead lock rings, and hubs...

Limited time to work on... but just about done with the Vanquish H10-Optic. Have set of wheels that don't really match, but gonna mount the tires on them until I can order some I like.

Transmission and motor done and installed.

Went with the Hobbywing Fusion Pro 2-in-1: ESC and motor all in one. 👍

Servo installed (went for an Amazon cheapy, see how it does), driveshafts built, shocks built and installed with the links.

Didn't take any pics of the un-assembled cage, was fun to put it together. Got all the decals done, along with the modest interior.

Added some silver marker on the fuel cell to give it a little detail.

Hoping to b able to run this in a week or two...

Got it finished last night. Setup and trimmed in the servo and esc. Mounted tires on some old Injora wheels I had laying around - didn't really want the orange bead lock ring, but now that it's on there I don't hate it - will definitely change out at least the ring for a different color... but at least I can run it this way.

Thing built up great and enjoyed it so much I ordered another one, lat night!
