How do I go faster?
We've answered this question
here.
So what rims can I use by AE for the 1984 rc10 buggy?
In order to use the current wheels and tires you will need the following:
#7378 3/16 axles
#9277 bearings (3/16 x 3/8 flanged bearings)
#7369 axle pins
#7368 axle shims
I have missing or defective parts.
Fill out this
form so we can help you faster.
I want to convert electric to gas.
Our electric cars
were not designed to handle the stresses of a nitro engine. Not recommended.
We have no resources for this.

Comments:What ever happened to the website update link?
I am working on a database-driven version of the website. I’ve cut out
several tasks, such as the update page, so that I may devote more time to the
upgrade. Sorry about that!

Your name: Joe Bronie
Electric kit referenced: B4/T4
Comments: This is question is not about ride height. On the front end of either
vehicle, an option is given to either have the front axles up, middle, or down.
By changing the axle height what will that do?
By raising or lowering the ride height on one end of the car, it changes
the steering characteristics, but more importantly, the roll center will also be
lowered, making the end of the car roll deeper when the car corners, making it
sit lower and thus having more grip.

Your name: Cabo
Electric kit referenced: Reedy 35C Lipo
Comments: For this new battery coming out I see that it will come with a
charging harness. Can you post pics of this on your site? reason I ask is that I
have seen another battery having a harness included, but its a separate balancer
setup, so you can't directly balance and charge at the same time as my charger
does.
You can set up a balancer made by Astro to balance and charge at the
same time.

Your name: Joe Bronie
Electric kit referenced: T4/B4
Comments: The answer to your last question is 10.5
By moving the front axle up or down, how will the vehicles react?
Raising or lower the ride height on one end of the car changes the
steering characteristics, but more importantly, the roll center will also be
lowered, making the end of the car roll deeper when the car corners, making it
sit lower and thus giving it more grip.

It would be best to ask Novak…since I do not see the 4300 motor on their
spec sheet on their web site. I not sure of what the 4300 motor is equal to, be
sure to tell them what battery you are running with it, Lipo, NiMh.

It already has plenty of rear toe. What is the rest of your setup like? Also
when was the last time the diff was
rebuilt?...................................My set up is what the book calls
for...Fresh diff ,New tires before every race...I am not new to rc racing ..So
please answer my question....I have alot more rear toe in on my Gt ,So I will
have to dissagree with you When you say that the "T4 has plenty of toe in"..I
know what the truck needs..I would like to know if you guys are going to offer
any options for more rear toe in?..This would be a very smart move..
No, we are not.

Comments: Need Rear toe in for my T4 ...What Should a person do?
Sorry Brad we do not have additional rear hubs to add more toe in. The
three degrees per side works 99.9 percent of the time. There really is no need
to change it - that is the reason for no additional options in this area.

Comments: Could you convey further info regarding the antenna mounting position
being used by the team of late? I notice the speedo is being placed next to the
motor and the receiver in front of the motor. I am sure this is better for
weight distribution?? My question is how is the antenna mount being positioned?
Any info in this regard would be appreciated.
You can buy an aftermarket antenna holder and install it in the hole
that is used for the clear under tray. That way it will be right next to the
receiver.

Comments:how come when I plug in my battery i only have steering but when I turn
it off and switch the wires on the receiver and turn the car back on I have only
power to the motor the model goes by its self at full speed what could be wrong?
I think you said it yourself. The wires going to the receiver need to be
in a certain sequence (depending on the radio). By you switching them you are
messing the signal up. You need to consult the manual to find the correct
sequence - usually it is signal (white), positive (red), and then negative
(black) from center to the outer edge.

Do you prefer trucks or buggies? Trucks, because of their wider stance,
will easier to drive for newcomers. If you expect to race, you’ll want to see
which ones are racing at a track near you.

tires and was looking at some of the setup sheets on line here and I am curios
how some of these guys are running spur gears bigger than 75 or 78 can't
remember which one the kit says is maxx for the car off of the top of my head
but I would like to know the mod for this becaus I have converted the car over
to brushless and that would give me a whole lot more options for gearing
Thank You

More than likely they are running 64 pitch gears, which have more teeth,
but in a small package.

constant even with the high speed of the turning gears. I have even looked at
the diff gears and they seem fine( the screw has not been stripped or anything)
Okay, make sure both diffs are adjusted properly. Tighten them down and
back them out about ¼ turn. One of them may be set too loose.

Your name: haulin79
Electric kit referenced: RC18T/MT
Comments: On Page 11 of the RC18MT manual there is the "18T/MT gear chart". Why
is there a lage difference between the recommended pinion in the "370 - Large
Track" row, when comparing the "60t Spur" and the "MT 60t Spur"? 13t pinion vs
10t pinion is a large 30% difference in gear ratio! Is it just because the MT
tires/wheels are that much heavier and of a larger diameter than the T
tires/wheels?
Yes, the larger diameter and heavier weight play a big roll in gear
ratio.

Comments:My chassis broke and I'm looking to replace it. Dont know which is
better Carbon or Composite?
If you are trying to get your vehicle as light as possible, need better
responsiveness (important to an experienced racer), and have good control of the
T4 (not crashing), then carbon is usually recommended. If you still crash a bit,
the composite will be helpful, because it has more flexibility and will give in
a crash.

Electric kit referenced: B44
Comments: front wheel nut - LHS
Hi,
I absolutely love my B44, but I'm getting annoyed with a recurring issue.
on tracks that require hard use of the brakes, the LHS wheel nut frequently
loosens itself, often to the point of coming off completely, followed shortly by
the wheel.
I've tried LOSI nuts, and the problem persists.
checking the nut is part of my pre-run checklist, and it is always 100% tight
before a race.
this has cost me 4 non finishes!
We will send you new front axles, nuts, and crush tubes.
Please send us your name and address and description of the problem, and we will
get the new replacement parts sent to you.

Comments:
I am getting ready to buy a new servo and I need to know what the optimum speed
and torque needed to run this truck to it best capability. I am planning to race
modified and stock classes
The speed is up to you. Faster servos make the car feel twitchy and
loose while slow servos seem not to have quick enough response. Look for a servo
in the .10-.15 sec range and torque of at least 60oz. inches.

We continue to sell many parts for discontinued models. If interest
wanes in our 1:18 models which results in a discontinuation, we’ll probably
continue to sell parts for it for a while. This is how we’ve worked in the past,
and I assume we’ll keep doing so. I don’t know of any plans to discontinue any

gear interface? I have some Mobile 1 synthetic grease, will that be OK? Or is
grease not recommended because it retains dust/sand/dirt?
No grease is recommended or needed on the spur and pinion. All that will
do is attract dirt and quicken wear.

Comments: I have a FT T3 and was wondering what bodies will work with it seeing
as it isn't available at any of my lhs in the area? Will the GT body fit?
The GT may fit as well as almost any truck body. You may need to drill
different body mounting holes or cut the body slightly as not to interfere with
the suspension.

Comments: Recently I have been having a problem with my new LRP AI super
reverse. The faile safe keeps going off for no apparent reason. I have trouble
shot the problem according to the user guide to no prevail. The light flashes
repeatedly then goes to normal solid green, then if I give it throttle the light
works as the user guide says, light green for partial and no light for full
throttle. However the motor is receiving no power at this point. Now if I reset
it by turning the switch off and on again the car well work normally for about 5
seconds before the fail safe goes off again. The same problem then repeats its
self. I have checked to make sure the the receiver antenna is not touching any
other wire. I can still steer the car, so the receiver is working.
Thanks for your time
Aaron, the speed control appears to be defective. You will need to send
it to the address on the home page for warranty service (if purchased in the
last 120 days) or repair. Please include all your contact information when you
send it in.

Electric kit referenced: Which Brushless kit to get
Comments: I have a TC3 and want to set it up with a brushless kit and am
wondering what you would recommend I am using 3600 nimph 6 cell batteries and
the car is currently set up with a novak cyclone tc speed control and a team
checkpoint 19 turn motor so I am wondering where I should start with the
brushless system there are so many different options for motors I don't know
where to start. I want to go with one of the lrp systems though because they
seem to be really good. A few other notes if this helps I run the car
exclusively on carpet with both foam and rubber tires but am looking at doing
some outdoor racing on asphalt as well so I would like to get a system that will
work in both track conditions any help would be very much appreciated Thank You
for Your Time

Do you want something faster than the 19-turn motor? If so, how much
faster do you want it?*********************************

Comments: hi there do the b4 rims fit the b3?
They will as long as you have a 3/16” rear axle. The offset may be a
little different but that should not be a problem.
