Associated RC10T3 v1.0

[Crashmaxx]

I got a reply from hexcrews, and they say that I need 1/16, 5/64, 3.0mm. I think I am going to get either integy wrenches for $5 each or hudy for $10, so is the integy good enough or should I get the hudy?

[WheelNut]

The brand doesnt matter that much, I have POS whenches that I bought for $15 in portland 3 summers ago and they still work great. I also use some cheap plastic handled whences I bought from greathobbies 4 months ago for 50cents each :D And they all work fine.

[pudder]

I know the Integy ones are good too, there was a guy selling them for 26$ Canadian for a set last year, he hasnt raced for a LONG time, sucks because I wanted some. The ofna ones look pretty nice too, go with what you like the best, afterall it is your decision. :)

[Crashmaxx]

I'm going to go with the integy ones, best price and look good quality.

Integy ones are good. The thing though, you might want to get all 5 sizes or whatever. Or atleast three. You will need the sizes for the screws you are getting, plus you might want one for adjusting the diff screw, it is also the size needed for the rear a-arm mounts. Really, in the long run you will thank yourself.

[k_sw31]

hey yall. I just ordered a lehner brushless setup, so in a few weeks, you see a brushless t3 w/ a 2-speed :D

[Justo]

I want to use the Blue springs. I am just a basher so I want my truck to look good. Any recomendations as to what setup I should use.

I was thinking something like 50wt oil all round cos I do a lot of jumping.

[ViperStrike]

Hey guys,

I just got a Mod motor for the first time and now I need to adjust my slipper.
I put in a Speed Gem 2 13t double.

on dirt the wheels spin a little before they grip (on a dead stop) and it really doesnt bother me, but will this hurt my truck in any way?
on the street the wheels spin like crazy so I think i need to loosen the slipper.


any tips for me?

[pudder]

No it sounds fine.

[Timmy]

Justo:

Here what I did for bashing around on any surface.
Blue Springs on all fours. I use 2 big spacers on the rears and 1 big spacer in in the fronts. I used 35-40wt oil in all the shocks. That should work pertty good at least it did for me.

Viper:

Like Pudder said that is ok. I have tighten my all the way down before and not had any problems with it. If you want to can loosen the nut that new the spur. I forget the name of it. That should help but I just leave it how it is I bet it fun to drive it lol.

I can't wait to see that set-up k_sw31. Do you really need a 2-speed. Yeah !!!!!!!

[ViperStrike]

Cool, I didnt want to kill anything.

Oh yeah its fun to drive!

I love seeing the tires swell up and it toss out a trail of dirt out.

I can easily clear the tripple at my local track now.

[ViperStrike]

Oh and here is my latest attempt at a pain job, seeing as I goofed my first try :rolleyes:

http://users.erols.com/thelastd/btr1.jpg http://users.erols.com/thelastd/btr3.jpg http://users.erols.com/thelastd/btr4.jpg

[Crashmaxx]

Looks real good. I think I will get some rims like that. Would go good with the g-hawg tires I will get and a maxx body(should look pretty scale).

What spring and oil setup would be good for mostly jumping. grass, and on-road? I was thinking something pretty stiff would work good.

I was going to get the integy hex drivers, till I relized that they don't have a 3mm size. I think I am going to get this other brand, wiha tools. There cheap and look to be good quality, and I figure, if I break one I can get a new one fo $4 anyway. I will ge the 3 sizes I need for the hexcrews and maybe one for the diff and one for the pinion.

[Timmy]

CrashMaxx:

That sounds cool. I would not get the Maxx body though. Go with the low pro-file GMC sierra body. It will look much cooler. Those rims and tires do look neat. Use the set-up I wrote a couple posts back. You may just wana run on spacer in the rear to make it lower for the street. I think I need to get my truck up and runnin agian it just so much fun to off-road.

Viper: Nice body by the way

[pudder]

What body is that, looks like an aftermarket T2 body. I think I may have posted some pics of my T2 body I am saving for indoor, but I will post them again.

[nitronate]

so pudder, a while back u were talkin bout ur original rc10 truck tires, the ones that look like buggys, do they run better than the proline edges? i need some new fronts. also u no where i can find some!!

[nitronate]

by the way that dish u have out front looks mighty tasty, what is that? looks like some sort of cheesecake or pie?

[ViperStrike]

Yes Pudder it is a T2 body

I had to put velcro on the back to keep it on.
but the front mounts nicely.

I got it for $8 off ebay

[nitronate]

anyone else wanna post some pics? i should have some this weekend!!

[ViperStrike]

Sure why not!

here is the body I was talking about in the above post
(the one i messed up)

[nitronate]

o that sux, i likr ur new one better anyways, hey does anyone here have any rims they would sell me? for my t3

[pudder]

Just buy some new ones, used rims won't mount tires nearly as good if there has already been tires mounted and cut off, they are not even that expensive anyways. :)

[nitronate]

how about the fantom team motor?? better or worse then the reedy mvp?

[BinaryAvoidance]

This wednesday getting my first rc car. Of course a RC10T3.

I will be getting the combo deal from Tower Hobbies, which includes the basic car with a 05 motor, Tower Hobbies 420 AC/DC 6-7 Cell Charger, Tower Hobbies 1500mAh 7.2V 6 Cell Flat Standard. Im also purchasing 5 Tower Hobbies 1500mAh 7.2V 6 Cell Flat Standard seperatly for practice batterys. Also to replace all the bushings berrings.

Im planning on purchasing a new charger and racing battery in a week or so for indoor oval track racing.

What sort of upgrade motor should I get thats not to expensive.

Is the controller it comes with any good? Junk? I have a new one picked out already which i should purchase within a month or so.

What sort of upgrades should i make to it that arent really expensive.

Please respond with some answers! Thank You!

[Crashmaxx]

You should probably take a look at ebay for a good deal. I see them on there all the time, RTR good batts and everything. Good price too.

But if thats not what you want to do, he is some advice on what you've chosen:

1.Don't get the combo if you are going to be replacing the included stuff that quick.

2.Get a nice charger to start with, the quasar is good, and there is another one for $50 thats good, but I can't remember what its called(Superbrain something I think).

3.For batteries, get one good 2400 matched racing pack and a bunch of 1500 to practice with, I have had good luck with cheap 1500 packs in the past so buy as many as you want and abuse em all you like, even with abuse, the should last a couple of years. But still get the racing pack for when you race(duh).

4.For an ESC, I've heard good things about the duratrax intellispeed 8 turn racing one, sounds like a good one to start with.

5.For the motor, I assume you would be starting in the stock class and any good stock motor would do great, but I don't know much about them so I can't help you there.

6.Don't worry too much about the radio gear, get something basic to start with and you probably won't want one with more features for a long time. I had a futuba magnum and liked it alot.

So I hope that helped you out, feel free to ask questions.

[k_sw31]

If your going to replace the electronics, I suggust you go with a team built t3. They have bearings already, plus more, you can get them at http://www.sheldonshobbies.com/ for only 125 bux, its a great deal. They sell at other stores for 160 or so.

[WheelNut]

Personally I think that if this is your first "real RC car" I would buy a kit, not someting thats already built. It will let you understand exactally how the truck works, and its fun to build :D

Go with the team kit. Sure its way more money, but you will save money in the long run. You will never have to buy upgrades for it, the shocks will never wear out since there hard anodized, the kit has a great body adn high grip tires, plus it has bearings in the kit.

For a motor I would sugest a Reedy MVP or a Trinty P2K, P2K2, or the new monster stock motor (cant remember the proper name).

[k_sw31]

why get a stock motor? (unless ur racing)


Get like a speed gems 19x2.

[nitronate]

would a novak explorer sport esc be worth the buy for 20 bux, i want to race stockers

[pudder]

To whom this may concern:

I DID happen to find the part numbers for the narrow front tires and rims which I use

#7872.....narrow front 3 piece rims
#7871.....narrow front ribbed tires

I don't know if they will allow you to run them at your track if you do race because they ruled them out a while ago for racing, however the guys at my track don't care if I run them. :)

[k_sw31]

would a novak explorer sport esc be worth the buy for 20 bux, i want to race stockers

would be fine, i have a fusion and it works great

[pudder]

Oh uh ya the Explorer would be fine for stock but if you are getting more into racing a better ESC would be nice. :)

[k_sw31]

pudder, I'm just a basher, but would those narrow fronts do anything for my t3 like improve handling?

Whats wrong with b2/b3 fronts?

[pudder]

I am not too sure, they might but I didnt notice much racing. THe main reason I used them was because my friend needed some rims for his basher tires so I sold him my race rims so I will go back to the regular tires for next year. :)

[noodle]

Hey all, I am brand new here. I really want to get back into the rc action. I did it as a kid and excited about doing it again. I am looking at finding a used T3 on ebay (or anywhere else if you know of a good deal) Anything I should look out for? Do you know of anyone who is looking to sell... let me know.

Thanks!!!:D

[k_sw31]

personally, i think the team-built t3 is great deal, pre built, bearings, add your own gear... only 125 at sheldonshobbies.com

[noodle]

I have a bid on a T3 with some stuffings for 125 right now. closes tomorrow. weel seee what happens.

[aspiringrcracer710]

T4 is coming (echo)

[pudder]

I think I'm going to makethe change to the B4 instead of a truck, don't know why, I guess just after I drove my old RC10 buggy for the first time I started liking them a lot.

[noodle]

do we know when the t4 is on its way (yelling into the wind)

[WheelNut]

A long time! (many echos)

[noodle]

is 150 a good price for a "slightly" used T3 RTR with a few extras?

[k_sw31]

hears my brushless t3, hehe ;)

[pudder]

How does it handle with those tires? ST tires would probably be much better.

[k_sw31]

it actually handles very good, only turns about a foot or so wider than regular tires. They're really good for plowing through grass too.

[Justo]

Ok, my Team T3 has, right now, a Quantum Competition ESC (had a Novak Fusion, but it was faulty), and a 13x3 Orion Orbital Pro.

I just got some dirt works tyres for it, and it's running sweet. I only run on road and grass so I've set it up super firm. Jumps very nicely.

What can I get for it now? I really would like to dress it up a bit.

I am not getting any graphite parts for it. I would get the shock towers if they were carbon fibre, but they aren't. Besides, as I do alot of jumping, the graphite would snap, whereas the composite I have now will flex.

Actually come to think of it, I haven't really seen any fancy pancy T3's before?

[CorB]

Is it still possible to get parts for the RC10T? If so, where?
I have one in good shape, but I would like to know if I can still get parts..:confused:

[k_sw31]

racers egde makes some aluminum stuff for the t3, like rear brace, toplate, etc.

[ViperStrike]

I've put some decent hop-ups in my T3
I think it looks a little fancy pancy :D

Its a pure racer, No bashing

http://users.erols.com/thelastd/rear.jpg

[k_sw31]

how come you don't have like a p-94 or something like that. I mean, speed gems are decent motors, but after you just spent a fair amount of money hopping that thing up, why not get a real nice motor?

[WheelNut]

Mabye his track doesnt require alot of horse power or something...I dunno. Seems a smidgen bit strange though.

[k_sw31]

or he's racing against bone stock rustlers or something ;)

[ViperStrike]

Well its a very simple reason.
I used to race stock and one Sunday only 2 stock racers showed up (me and another guy) so they put us with the Mod class (about 30 drivers) So I went into the LHS and that was the best Mod motor he had. I managed to make the A Main with it but it was not fast enough to do better then 5th.

I ordered a p-94 11x2 and a Reedy Ti 13x2 from Towerhobbies
I should be getting them today I think.

[nitronate]

ok guys this is a pic of this " cover" for my t3 i made, its kinda like a dune buggy cover. but its more of a roll cage so that when im bashing i dont hurt anything!! i use plastic ties to tie it down to the car for now, but it will be fixed up later. works just fine

[nitronate]

heres the cover i race with for now till i have time to paint a new one

[Crashmaxx]

That rollcage is way too small.

[WheelNut]

That's pretty nice! You used brass tubing I assume? Its is a we bit small, but it doesnt really matter i guess, you'd have quite a time getting it lower or anything.

BTW-its a body. :p

[nitronate]

hey man i like my rollcage and it works just fine, some is metal and some is plastic. it needs a better wing though.

[Crashmaxx]

Get a 1/8 scale buggy wing. And I still think the roll cage is cool, but it looks funny cause its so small.

[nitronate]

aight thanx man

[aeb3man_44]

hey ViperStrike

I have a b3ft and i would like to know who makes those aluminum parts for your t3? they look so good

thank you

[wgnfrk]

hey guys im kinda new to the sport and i have a rtr t3. What is the best mod motor i can use for my truck? I do not have the funds to change the esc so it must stay. btw i have already had a stock motor in the past. There isnt really a class since most of the peeps at my track either have a gs storm or a tmaxx. So its kinda run what you brung. Any suggestions would be great. Oh and viperstrike where did you get the socks that cover your shocks at?:confused: :cool:

[WheelNut]

Buy a Kyosho Magnetic mayhem and gear up the truck alot! Like a 21-23/87 ratio. That motor is super cheap but its fast because of its ultra high torque.

BTW-that is a bashing only motor.

[pudder]

You have to custom make those shock socks. Either out of spandesx or baloons. I think the LRP Runner only goes down to a 16 turn, it is such a pile you should just get a good stock motor or better esc before upgrading.

[k_sw31]

the speed gems 2 19 turn double is surprisingly fast/ torquey.

You could gear up to about a 20 tooth and hang stock t-maxxs and possibly even a horribly tuned storm.

[pudder]

That is true, I forgot about the 19 t motors for a minute there. But however, gearing up doesn't always help hang with the big guys, you need a fine line between accel and speed because too much "speed" gearing will dump you and your motor will boil, and gearing to low will just be slow.

[nitronate]

i just got a rooster for my t3, i am planning on racing stock for now so i got a reedy mvp, what should i gear up to??

[k_sw31]

actually, i always got GREAT run time off my 19x2's i have like 4 of em

[pudder]

Originally posted by nitronate

I have mine for 16 but that suits my driving and track, it really deppends on what you are driving on and what your setup is.

[Timmy]

You probably wana run like a 19-21T Pinion depending on the track. If it has long striaghts go with the 21T and mote technically go with the 19T. If you had some pics of the track I could give you a better idea of what pinion to run.

[nitronate]

its right in the middle

[pudder]

Remember though, Reedy motors like to run warm, so you will want to run lower gearing than a p2k 2 for example.

[chanes9]

i have a 10t d4 what gears should i use?

[pudder]

Try a 16 tooth for starters.

[Crashmaxx]

k_sw31- What bl setup are you running?

I had a Schulze 18.61 controller and hacker B50 12s in my e-maxx and it was insane. Then the controller fried and I ran out of money to spend on it. Anyway I am sending in the controller for repair and selling the motor. I was thinking it might be a good plan to put a lehner BASIC 5300 and use my controller when it gets back on 6 cells, then probly run some huge tires and wheels.

Anyway, I just wanted to know how good yours was working. Have you had any probs with it?

[k_sw31]

I am running a lehner 5300 with a 7018 warrior.

I haven't had many problems, althoug hyou need to run a reviever pack to prevent 'cogging' With 6 cells and 16/87 gearing, its as fast as my gt! 7, and 8 cells is insane. :D

[enemy_spike]

yah i cant wait to drive it it looks fun:D ibuy it form you for 100 bux:)
lol

[k_sw31]

um, let me think, i'll sell my t3 to you w/ the brushless for 600$ ok? ;)

Hehe, i just broke the rear arm mount, it was pretty good, came off a jump wrong, cartwheeled into a tree, hehe:D good thing i have spares!!!!!!!!!!!

[Timmy]

Yea those always break. Have you tried using the RPM ones or was it already an RPM arm. I think you probably got the nicest and fastest T3 on the board that I have seen. I like those big tires and the BL system. Good luck with it.

[Crashmaxx]

Kewl, with that kind of results, how can I not pay only another $100 to have BL. So unless schulze want to charge a lot for repairs, I think I will do it.

[k_sw31]

thats like the fourth one i've broke (well, like two of 'em were casualties of our little halfpipe experience :rolleyes: ) and everytime i look for them in my lhs, they're always sold out, i have a lot of spares, but i'd rather break one of these than an arm.

[Crashmaxx]

That sucks, so there aren't any alum ones you can get?

[k_sw31]

hg makes them, but they're 30 bux:(

http://www.1hg.com/cw/item1.cfm?sel_car=10

[Crashmaxx]

That is kind of pricey, but how many times will you break them before you get to $30, and isn't $30 worth not dealing with it again.

But maybe your better off having that break insted other parts.

[chanes9]

hey, for some reason i cant get the mounting screws to come loose from my engine. i need to put in a different motor but the screws wont come out. i tried a hex-driver and its not working, how can i get these out? i wil buy new ones but need these out.

[k_sw31]

well, if they are stripped, then take a dremel with a cutting tool, and cut a horizontil slot so you can use a flathead screwdriver. Or, try gripping the screw heads with pliers and twisting to free them. Hope this helps.

Oh, do you live right in seattle, or outside of it? I live about 20 miles east of seattle.

[chanes9]

thanks this should help, i live in tukwila, its by sea-tac and burien

[k_sw31]

Good luck, guess were not that close then.

[pudder]

Just one proper RC grammar lesson, in electric RC we call the "engine" a motor. :) It just gets at me when people call it an engine though for some reason... anyways.

[Crashmaxx]

My Wiha hex drivers came in today and it turns out that hexcrews told me I needed a 1/16, 5/64, and a 3mm, but I really needed a 1/16, 5/64, 3/32, and a 2.5mm. I told them about the fact that the 3mm didn't work and I needed to know the right sizes and now there going to give me a FREE coversion kit for my trouble. What great customer service, they screw up, and they admit it and give me $30 worth of screws! And these are some good kits. Man did I get lucky.

I would definetly recommend their stuff, check em out here. (hexcrews.com)

[k_sw31]

wow, that sound awesome!

[pudder]

Hmm, I havent driven my T3 much lately at all, Sunday I drove my rc10 buggy because it was hooked up so good, and the weekend before I just ran it in the main. I will probably just run my buggy from now on because I can make much longer runtime then with my truck :)

Indoor is comign up soon atleast, be racing my T3 on carpet all the time . :D

[WheelNut]

Same here! It really sucks! I cant drive because I have to wait for fricken diff rings. I've already been waiting over a month :eek: Stupid great hobbies. :mad:

Oh well I'm rebuilding my pede so thats keeping me busy, its still not running yet, but it will be soon. :D Not to mention hanging with this *really!* really hot Megan chick. :D :D

[pudder]

I dont bash my vehicles in the week anyways so it doesnt effect me much, I enjoy saving them for racing :) It is ready to race but before indoor starts I want to atleast put new oil in the shocks, lube the diff and clean everything else.

[k_sw31]

yeah, i myself have never raced, i'd like to though, but the only track nearby is a portable on road thing in a parking lot, no off roads around here. :(

I suppose i'll show up there sooner or later, but its only there every other sunday. Once i stopped by to watch, people were running mugen on roads, stuff like that, hehe, that would piss 'em off to see a t3 running 1500's and hanging with them, hehe, ;)

[pudder]

Ya that must suck not to have a track around there.

[k_sw31]

it does, i'm thinking i could, or try to make one, we have 7 acres

[pudder]

Ya, I have 8 acres myself. In the future when I get older, or inherit the house or something I would like to turn the shed into an indoor carpet track and right beside it into an offroad track, it would be a perfect setup but that is for the future. :)

Racing is great, especially when you have many experienced guys around you willing to help out, I have learnt so much from racing it is great. :)

[k_sw31]

Hey, then i could start a club, charge people a track fee, make some money, and buy an ft t3 ;)

I got my T3 all ready for carpet racing even though it won't be untill after new years day. :) 80 weight oil all around, outside holes on all shock mounts. I also made some custom 3 hole bottom rear shock mounts for the suspension arms for a bit more adjustability. :)

[k_sw31]

80 weight? Seems kinda plush ;)

Just curious, who makes the foams and what kinda motor are you running?

[pudder]

Not asking about my trophies? :(

I have to tell about my trophies first, the actual trophy is from a weekend race and I got second in it (major race) and the black plaq is from today, the end of the points season for offroad, I got first place. :)


Now for your questions; The motor is a Reedy MVP and the tires are JACO green compound foam tires (for carpet racing). The 80 weight is for the carpet track, since there is no jumps or anything, I want to be running smooth as I can, I have never raced my T3 on carpet, just my Evader last winter, but I think I will do much better with my T3 this time around :)

[BinaryAvoidance]

I just got my first rc car done the other day. RC10T3 Team Update. Im running a nothing special 05 stock motor getting a new one soon. The 05 makes it go pretty fast. The car sticks to the ground like its magnatised its so nice. We have a offroad course, dirt oval, street type of course. We did have a carpet course but it closed, there moving to a offroad track! Im also making a track in my backyard soon Ita gonna be nice ;-) maybe next spring. Im going to start racing dirt oval here and practicing and racing the last few races of offroad.

I love this car lol. Its so nice i order 4 more 2400 battery packs which will bring my total to 6 2400's and 1 1500. I have a tower hobbies 420 charger (junky) Duratrax deluxe pulse charger, i have another one of them int he mail being delivered to me.

Anyone have any set up tips for a noob like me?

I have a gt in the mail coming to me.

Even though im a newb I dont suck I made 2 nice sized courses in my backyard there pretty hard and i can do it pretty good....

[pudder]

Just go by the book and you will be fine. Make sure to have your suspension arms level with each other for a nice stance too, but I think the book covers that too. :)

[BinaryAvoidance]

Yesterday I bought a chamber guage etc etc for the aligning. The tires and suspension are now aligned. its so much easier to steer. No more floppy wheels.

[k_sw31]

cool
http://www.plauder-smilies.de/person/mrt2.gif
http://www.plauder-smilies.de/person/fro.gif


I'd like to race on something like they used for the ROAR off road mod nats. I think that would be cool cuz it would be like on road with jumps 'n stuff.

[BinaryAvoidance]

I also just got finished painting my body lets see if the pics will post. Last time it wouldnt work!

[BinaryAvoidance]

The carpet track had jumps etc....but its gone now but We'll have 2 offroad tracks soon.....

[BinaryAvoidance]

last pic

[k_sw31]

man i wish i could do a half way decent job on painting.

Aw well, its pretty funny to watch a t3 with a rtr body popping wheelies and going 40.

[BinaryAvoidance]

That was my first body LoL. My grandpa helped a lot but I did a lot of the painting. Put a few of the decals on. He mostly did the taping job on the windows etc.

[k_sw31]

I like the 'sleeper' look

[pudder]

Dude, it's a bumblebee on crack! :D j/k Looks good. I wouldnt really like hardpacked clay and that nats stuff, I like the track I race on, nice loose dirt, lets a person use some skills. :)

[brittonlj77]

Sorry if this has been posted before, but do Losi rims fit on a T3?

TIA,
Britt

[ViperStrike]

Just the front Losi rims fit.
the rear are too deep and rub on the turnbuckles.



Hey Binary

Does this look familiar?

;)

http://users.erols.com/thelastd/btr1.jpg

[BinaryAvoidance]

heh yes but yours is better ;-)

[BinaryAvoidance]

I also practiced at the track today. First time. I did pretty good, stripped a servo gear. Bought a new engine and pinion gear. Also tweaked the speed control. For soem reason it feels like i already said this but i cant find it. Oh well. I bought a 27 turn p2k it made it go alot faster than the old kyosho 05 hehe. Are the P2K's any good in your opinion anyone.

[ViperStrike]

I like your truck man it looks cool
"Killer Bee"

from what I hear the P2k is a great stock motor for lots of tourqe.
I have the P2k2 and think its a great stocker.
I run Mod now so i never use it.

The P2k2 has less tourqe but more top speed.

[pudder]

Trinity makes good motors. I recently got a REEDY MVP and like it better than any of the trinity ones.

[BinaryAvoidance]

Thanks. Since you never use your p2k willing to sell it?

[BinaryAvoidance]

I was thinking about the MVP not knowing jack about moters i decided to go with the P2k it looked cooler ;). I know im stupid LoL

[BinaryAvoidance]

Opps Motors*

[k_sw31]

while were on the topic of motors, how ca nyou cut a comm w/ out a lathe? any idears?

[BinaryAvoidance]

Hmm, well I might be able to help, besides i have no clue what your talkign about. Im a noob :p

[pudder]

You need a comm lathe to cut the comm, if you want a clean surface, you could take some fine sandpaper and turn the comm inside it while you are holding it on the comm, but that won't solve anything.

[pudder]

Were you talking to me? Well I have either worn out, sold, or blown all of my trinity motors, all I have left from them are the motor cans.

[BinaryAvoidance]

ok, nvm then.

Hey Viper, who makes that body? I love the integrated wing!
Thanks,
Britt

[ViperStrike]

Everybody has been asking me that.
At the track this weekend about 10 people asked me.

Its called the "Rattlesnake"

Its made by McCallister racing.

they are only $10.99 each :eek:
you can find them on ebay.
Just search for T3 body

I bought 5 of them cause I love them so much.
The owner Gary is really cool and they also make some vintage looking Ford and Chevy versions.

Oh the only bad thing about them is they have no overspray film, just cover the outside and you will be fine.

[k_sw31]

Hey guys, i have a question, i noticed my slipper clutch is not slipping, my diff is. My question is: what the heck should i do? Rebuild? Or tighten? I'm totally clueless when it comes to diffs :confused:

[BinaryAvoidance]

Whenever i got my car done the diff was slipping and the car went like 1 mph and i was like oh **** my car sucks LoL. Then my grandpa told me the diff was slipping, boy was i glad. He just tightened worked well.

[ViperStrike]

What I would do is tighten both the slipper and the diff.
then losen the diff 1/8th of a turn.

then adjust your slipper.

The diff cant be very tight, but it can't be very loose either.

I've never had to adjust my diff after building it.

[k_sw31]

ok, i'll try tightening the diff, my slipper is locked.

[ViperStrike]

make sure its not too tight.
just make it till its very snug and then back it off 1/8th

losen the slipper 1/8th also to prevent wheelies.

[BinaryAvoidance]

hehehe I'm gonna have to get a beater t3 and rig it to do wheelies....

[k_sw31]

But wheelies are fun.;)

[BinaryAvoidance]

My car doesnt do wheelies right now. But whenever i go up my driveway theres a bump. And i go up it and I dont notice my car gets air and I turn and I flip hehe....

I always have to edit I dont ever check :p

[k_sw31]

try mounting your batt's vertically on your shock tower. Thats the best way. Its sorta cheating but, they're still wheelies.

[BinaryAvoidance]

Ill try that some day here. Heh i need a new servo here right now. Stripepd my last one i dunno how to goes back togethor, well my grandpa doesnt. I bought a metal geared one this time off of ebay for 15 bucks retails for 50 bucks.

[BinaryAvoidance]

I forgot to add, I received four 2400's in the mail today ;)

Now I have 6 2400's and 1 1500. Now i have enough to race. A great charger, I have another great charger in the mail. Another Duratrax Deluxe, the best of the best :p

[ViperStrike]

The deluxe pulse is a good charger.
there is a model just above it you might want to check out.

The Digital pulse

http://www.duratrax.com/caraccys/dtxp4130.jpg
same as the Deluxe but it has a Multi-function LCD, selectable for viewing charge amps, charge voltage or battery capacity

I find the LCD very useful

[BinaryAvoidance]

I was going to get one of them and one pulse but my grandpa doesnt like lcd's ;). So i ended up getting both deluxe.

[ViperStrike]

I just like the fact that is shows the voltage and how many mAh it charges each pack with.

[JonBoy]

Hey I just seen a Twin Motor T3 on ebay, Does anyonw know who makes this part? Is just a different motor plate and thats it. Anyway I am unsure about getting one or not. I am thinking just going from the 19t speed gems I got to a 13t speed gem pro will be totaly fast enought for me. Anyway any thoughts on the twin t3?

[pudder]

I would rather have a one motor T3, oh wait, I do. :D With twin motors, you are just sucking back almost twice the power, reducing run times, and it will be more matanence (SP?) for you. If you have the right setup with one motor, you will do fine. :)

[pudder]

About the charger post, it would be better to get the one with the LCD because then you sort of know what it going on better. I just bought a Tekin charger the other day from a guy I race with, but I havent used it since I need to pick up a power supply.

[BinaryAvoidance]

Dont bust on my charger :P

One word, BRUSHLESS!!!!!!!!!!:D

[pudder]

Ya, just not for racing since well I don't think they are exactly legal yet.

[k_sw31]

Well, I've heard the orion and the novak systems are gonna be legal.

[pudder]

I am not sure onfuture rules but right now they arent legal, it would be nice to have a brushless system though.

[BinaryAvoidance]

I got my new servo today. Nice metal gearded ball bearing one. Super fast. 2 sero savers. retail is $52.99 i think. I bought for 15......

Had to chop up the chassis to make it fit the car. Its all good now ;)

[pudder]

Sometimes the servos are tight fits but you just have to cut off part of the tabs and usually they will fit.

[BinaryAvoidance]

its nice but it makes a grindign noise for like 3 seconds after it stops moving :( I think its rattling on the chassis

[k_sw31]

Yeah, one of those has been on my list for a longgggggggggggg time.

I've had my eye on this
http://www2.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bin/wti0001p.pgm?Q=1&I=LXUZ87&P=0

[ViperStrike]

BA thats normal
the servo is trying to steer past the frame.
you need a TX with a dual rate setting.
you can limit how far the servo moves.
it really saves the gears.

[ViperStrike]

k_sw31

I use that servo, it works great for me.

[BinaryAvoidance]

Oki, thanks

[RustlerBoy]

Hey guys! I am back!!!! Back from a long RC vacation, for no apparent reason.

What servo is it you guys are talking about? Also, is it bad when a single cell gets really hot, but the rest of the battery stays cool?
The pack seems to dump really fast, and doesnt have any voltage. It ios a fairly new 3000 Nimh battery

[BinaryAvoidance]

Hmm, well iw as talking about mine. I dunno what they were talking about.

I dunno if its really bad but im sure its not good, if one cell gets hot and the others dont....

[ViperStrike]

RB I'd say thats a bad cell all the way.

[k_sw31]

Cool, I'll get around to buying one of those sometime.

I'm not sure if i want a new batt pack from pro match racing or a servo. I'm not really sure right now, we'll see.

[WheelNut]

Mabye you guys will want to try the newer hitec digital servo's. I have the 9245 which is quite expensive but they make cheaper digital models. I've herad of peple having centering problems with the 600 series serov's. Suposedly the digital one center batter and have more holding power. Plus those ones come with a nice blue aluminum servo arm.

[pudder]

Your cell is defiantly shot, I have had this happen to me many times.

[BinaryAvoidance]

Tommorrow is race day. I hope my GT comes in the mail today! So then I can race electric and nitro.....

[ViperStrike]

It's going to rain all weekend here :(
No racing this weekend.
I wanted to try out my new radio too :mad:

on a good note I got my Fiance to break down and promise me a shinny new T-Maxx for Christmas!

:D

[BinaryAvoidance]

Its rainging here too! Stupid hurricanes! Hmm I hope it stops, and gets bright and sunny....

I need a new speed controller....

I have 50 bucks......

[k_sw31]

Ha! We don't have any hurricanes, it just rains here all the time ;)

[BinaryAvoidance]

Well theres a hurricane in florida.

Dang they closed my pyro maniac post....

[k_sw31]

That thing didn't last long.

[brittonlj77]

Anyone used the Cyber Buggsy (http://www.dahms-intl.com/dah2b.html) body by Dahms before?

How'd it work out?

Also, when choosing a body to race with, does .010 thickness really make that much of a difference in weight??

Thanks!

[BinaryAvoidance]

No but, it looks alright, I wouldnt use it though....

[ChristianZx]

I just ordered a T3 Team edition from Tower, along with the LPR 7.1 speed control, Lynx 3d radio, p2k motor. Looking forward to getting some racing in! Boston area....

[BinaryAvoidance]

Great Choice

[Soya]

Hey, your name would be an awesome band name;)

[BinaryAvoidance]

Who?

[Soya]

You;)

[BinaryAvoidance]

hmm maybe I should start a band.........I always knew I could make up awsome names LoL. Thanks

[BinaryAvoidance]

Soya! You just turned Certifiable RC Zone Addict !! You were just a senior member. CONGRATS!

[RustlerBoy]

So, i guess i should just find a place that sells single cells? and buy one and put it on?

[pudder]

Good work, I have been an addict for a few thousand posts. :rolleyes:

I just want indoor racing already, grrr oh well, it is only just over 2 months. :(

Atleast I have a new charger and hopefully tomorrow I can get power supply, then I will let my friend use it just because I want to try it out. :D

I think during the downtime I will want to work on my mom's old Honda street bike, maybe i'll have it running for spring time.

[Soya]

Ahh, words from the greatest poster of us all:)

[k_sw31]

We're just getting a little off topic :rolleyes: ;)

Do Do Doooooooooo, oh whoops.

[BinaryAvoidance]

Ok! back to the t3. I might paint a new body soon. I saw a cool article on making this really neat design, get to use the air brush :D .

Also want a new esc with no motor limit. And possibly a 13 turn motor. My car is already really fast but i need more speed :p. Also planning on purchasing an aluminum chassis.
Maybe some graphite chock towers.

[pudder]

I don't think they have aluminum chassis for T3's, and really, there is no point of one either, just get the graphite one.

[BinaryAvoidance]

yes they do :p. And a Graphite chassis would break easy........

[pudder]

Oh you think that the graphite chassis break easily, obviously you dont actually KNOW because I do KNOW that they dont...

[BinaryAvoidance]

Ive read a lot of things about graphite chassis breaking easily because there hard, but have no flex to them.

Sorry

Your prolly right.......

Just like they say le mann 05 motors suck, I have one dont use it but them suckers push a car at like 30!

[k_sw31]

Who makes the aluminum chassis? JUst curious.
As for a good sped control, well, basically go for a dually if your spending is limited, if not buy like the new gt-7, i heard its amazing!

[BinaryAvoidance]

I dont know who makes em etc. I have seen them though supposingly people selling 90%+ auminum t3's including chassis.

Ill try to look for a maker.

[Crashmaxx]

Hmm, should I get a super rooster or GT7? I will be using my T3 for bashing mostly, unless my track starts racing next summer(but I doubt they would be very strict about what I could race). I like reverse, but we all now it not that important. The SR is nice and versitil but I like to mess with setting. And the GT7 should be supiorly smooth. It $20 difference in price so that really a none issue. What do you guys think I should get? I'm going to order one tonigt so be quick.

[k_sw31]

Hey, if price isn't an issue, by both ;) well, it depend, if you want reverse, go with the super rooster, you can always lock it out for racing. But, i would personally go with the gt-7, just because making the transition from haveing reverse to not, or visa versa, can be very difficult. For exapmle, driving my dually, i get all used to avoiding objects w/ out reverse right, when i go to drive my super rooster, i go to slam on the brakes, and, well, my motor has just been slammed into the wall *doh!* :rolleyes: Then when i go back to my dually, i crash into the bushes, try to back out, then i think somethings wrong but it ain't. I'd just go with the gt-7. Besides, not having reverse, in my opinion, makes you a better driver.

[Crashmaxx]

So you really think the GT7 is worth it. I do like reverse, but I can totaly live without considering that my 1/8 scale buggy doesn't have it.

My dad thinks that I should get the SR just for the reverse and to save $20, I think it might be better to pay a little more to have the best I can.

I think the real issue here is weather or not reverse is important. I like reverse, but can live without it.

Do you think that the weight advantage and better features of the GT7 will make it go significantly faster or give me any better run time?

And heres a list of the other stuff I will put on it:
-2 matched 3000 nimh sidexside packs
-speed gems pro 11x2
-hobbico cs-65 servo
-MX-3

So I have one vote for the GT7. Anyone else have a opinion?

[pudder]

I myself would go with the GT-7 since all I do is race. I am planning on making a new track for myself next summer so I might run at home. All I find reverse is good for is doing wheelies if your truck doesnt have enough power from a standstill.

Racing is over for 2002 here, I am just going to have to sit here and post my days away until indoor starts up. :)

Atleast I have a new Tekin charger and power supply for next season, and just modified one of my pit tables to be a charging station.

[k_sw31]

Yeah, bashing is getting really old for me, I'm building a track on my property now, so hopefully we'll get it done soon.

[WheelNut]

OMG!!!!! My diff rings will be here really freakin soon!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :eek: :eek: :eek: :eek: :eek: :eek: :eek:

I think the GT7 is your best choice. Also, have u heard anything about the new MX-3? I am looking for a new FM radio, and if it has 3channels, then why not get it for only 110 bucks!

[ViperStrike]

Hey RB
I ordered an MX-3 on Friday.
I'll let you know how it is.
I'm using the 3 channel receiver that it comes with for a T-maxx and got a Novak XXL for my T3.

I'll probably get it on Friday.

[ChristianZx]

Do you guys pre-thread the chassis holes with a 4-40 tap? The screw heads strip way too easy.

[pudder]

I hear it is supposed to be pretty nice but Airtronics never includes decals with their products, which is really cheap, I wouldn't buy one since they don't include decals. The JR XR3 is also another good radio, but they don't include decals with it either, you need to buy the R-1 for decal sheets to be included.

[Crashmaxx]

LOL, you and your decals!

[RustlerBoy]

Um, ok. Thanks guys. I really dont care bout the stickers either. But, thanks

[WheelNut]

Yes, I think tapping the hole would be wise. Taps dont cost much. I dont haven't had to thread any new parts in a long time time so I dont really have to worry about that stuff.

[k_sw31]

Originally posted by ChristianZx

I first test the hole by slightly threading the screw in, if it seems easy going, i go ahead and put it all the way in. If the threading seems difficult, i pre-thread it with a 3/32 cap head screw,

[jfunk99]

Hey everyone, just got my first RC vehicle (an RC10T3 Sport kit) and here's some pictures. I'm thinkin about adding a couple more decals. Let me know what you think.

Put a big fat MIP decal on the back where the antenna is, or there abouts. An hg decal on the hood wood be cool, or rpm would kick too.

[jfunk99]

Thanks for the suggestions! I have a problem I was wondering if anyone had thoughts about. I put all the shocks together, trimming off the burrs as best I could, and for 3 out of the 4 shocks I've had them start leaking oil (I haven't really ran it much so it can't be normal wear and tear). After taking them apart I've found that there's something dragging them and it usually is one of the plastic washers. I'm just wondering if it's something I'm doing wrong or if the plastic parts aren't right somehow. It seems like the inside of the washers was really rough because I put in the shaft and it catches on it, even with oil all over it. Anyways, other than that little problem I'm lovin it. It's a lot faster than I expected.

[Crashmaxx]

Ordered a GT7 and 11x2 speed gem pro, as soon as they get here I can run this! And I'm almost done rebuilding it, can't wait to run it.:D

[k_sw31]

nummy, speed!

[rc10smurf]

Jfunk99
I had the same problem with 2 of my shocks on my t3 sport. I found out that I had not pushed the white peg in hard enough. I heard one click but there was suppose to be 2. This fixed my problems. If you think that you have a leaky seal you can get a shock rebuild kit for about 5 dollars that has new orings and everything. Hope this helps

[aspiringrcracer710]

what does TTT mean!!!!

[Crashmaxx]

to the top, as in to have the thread go up in the forum.

[pudder]

And my t3 is still sitting on my shelf... I wonder how much dust is collected on the body now. :(

[k_sw31]

Hey, I can make use of it for you j/k ;) My t3's collecting dust too, waiting for my brushless controller :(

[Crashmaxx]

What happened to the one you were using?

[k_sw31]

well, being my ignorant self, i ran 12 1500's in a paralell, which put the esc under to much load, frieing it :( Aw well, it least it helped me figure out my diff was cooked, don't ask how but it did, they said it was the first case they hade like it, the only other controller thats been fried is cause a guy plugged his batts in backwards.

[chanes9]

Hey i dont have much money and was wonderin if some one in here could hook me up with a no motor limit esc that they arent really using, i can trade a new 10t d4 pluse a used Fhantom Team Stock motor and a little cash. Come on this is the last thing i need before i can drive:D :D :D

[Crashmaxx]

My GT7 and speed gem pro motor got here today. Just need to put this thing together and run it! Whoo HOO!!:D :D

[pottymouth]

Got my T3 in the mail yesterday and had to leave work just a bit early :) I put it together in just over 6 hours (no paint yet tho). By the time I was done the world was asleep and I couldn't even try it out : ( C'mon 5 O'clock! I wanna go home and get wheelin!

It all went together fairly smoothly but ya know, I REALLY hate those flat head 1/16 hex screws AE uses. Seems like half of em come with the socket prestripped. I had 2 brand new allen wrenches and I kept pulling screws out of the box that wouldn't catch at all! It felt like the hole was just too big. I had the same experience with my TC3. Luckily I had a few spares lying around. Is this common?

[jfunk99]

I had a similar problem when putting mine together but bought some decent allen wrenches and that seemed to help. You just have to be really careful with the tiny ones. Sometime I have to clean out the inside of the screw head to get it to go down far enough to catch. It was frustrating at first.

~Joe

[pudder]

Any allen keys that come with a kit blow ass, it is truth, buy a decent set and those screws work fine by the way.

[pottymouth]

So these (http://www2.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bin/WTI0001P?Q=1&I=LXUC54) aren't decent? Oh well. At least one of em's handy for getting at the ride height set screws on my TC3. Weird thing is, I even tried my normal Craftsman hex set and they wouldn't catch on the trouble screws either. This set's never failed me in the past. In the end found that the keys that came with the kit actually worked the best, but only on the long end so it was pretty rough torquing them. Go figure.

Actually Pudder, I don't buy it. I KNOW they are crappy screws. When you screw 1 in fine and then use the same exact key for the next screw and it just spins in the hole, there's no other possibility. Sorry.

[ViperStrike]

all my Hex wrenches strip the screws badly
but the allen keys that came with my kit always work perfectly.

I ordered a Team hex kit cause it is driving me nuts.
I hope it is worth the $40

[pudder]

When putting my FT kit together, I couldn't even get some screws all the way in because the hex drivers themselves were stripping. I ended up buying a Racer's Edge set, well worth the money.

[k_sw31]

I found that buying the regualr steel screws is much better, they are always a perfect fit on my rpm wrenches, plus they are a LOT stronger, and , w/ the blue screws, you probablys save like 1 oz or less. Just my 2 cents.

[pudder]

Yes, but the color blue makes you go faster.

[k_sw31]

Right.... ;)

Your t3 must haul ass ;)

[pudder]

Hey, this is a little thing I had to write up for an Enlgish project...

Blue makes you go faster.
Blue is a color which makes things it is on move faster. It is a good color, available in many shades. But there is one shade in particular which is the best, the blue which the recycling bins are colored. Why is that blue the fastest? Well, because it is a good mix between light and dark, creating excellent acceleration and top speed. Wearing or using this colors in things will have this effect. I have experimented somewhat with various shades, different colors, and amounts used on radio controlled cars (RC cars). I observed that when I was driving with a light blue and green body on the car, it seemed to have lack of acceleration, and top speed didn’t feel like it had that “top”! A few weeks later I then tried a new “blue streak” colored body, which is like that recycling bin blue, of course, the ultimate in blue. My lap time at the track increased, as did top speed and acceleration. I was very pleased with the results from one body to the next. However, I have also tried using blue on other vehicles, all with great results using this blue. This topic has been discussed with many other people, many agreeing, but I have had a few disagree. One person, let’s just call him S.T. said that gold was the fastest of colors, truly, I don’t know about that one, but since blue is more widely used than gold, I still say that blue is the fastest color.

[k_sw31]

Um....... ok then ;)

[Crashmaxx]

sounds like pudder is puffin the blue smoke:p

[Milothicus]

You say your lap time increased like it's a good thing......

[WheelNut]

LOL!

I cant see why you guys are having problems with the T3's screws. I have never stripped any of them out yet, and its been a good year, and that truck has been torn down plenty of times. No problems on my TC3 that I've have for 2 years either, well a few screws are pretty worn out but not quite to bad yet. :) ANd thats with some Al and some Steel screws.

[Crashmaxx]

I got a great steel screw kit from hexcrews.com and some wiha tools from wihatools.com and everything went together perfectly.

[aspiringrcracer710]

I ordered a bearing set for mine today (I had it sent to college so Im gonna take my T3 up there and wrench on it and then bring it back at Thanksgiving so I can race it at my LHS

[pottymouth]

Maaaaaan, I crack me up! (http://www2.donayer.com:8080/albums/catjump/index.html)

[chanes9]

WOW!!!! that had to be the stupidist video i have ever saw, please dont waste my time by posting stupid stuff like that

[pottymouth]

That was the point!

OK. Warning: Don't click that link if you don't like stupid videos.

Happy now? :D

[Crashmaxx]

I got a prob with my T3. I am almost done putting it together, GT7 is in and everything, but the servo is slightly too big, the steering linkage is hitting it so it won't steer. How can I fix this? Or should I just get a new servo. It is a CS-65 and it is very fast and torquey, the only other one I have is a futuba s3003. This sucks, anyone got any advice?:(

[Crashmaxx]

Oh crap! The motor won't go, not even a little. Everything is soldered perfectly and they all are pluged in the reciever right. This means only 2 things:
A. The battery needs to be fully charged(tried it with a 30% charge)
B. It is defective and I have to replace it.

I am charging it up, lets hope its A and not B.

[Crashmaxx]

OK, now I'm just confused. I checked everything out seperatly and it all works, but when I plug it all in, no go.:confused:

[k_sw31]

Well, for the servo, check the manual for instructions; with some servos you need to used spacers on the mounts.

For your motor, make sure the brushes and spings are getting power to the comm. and that the esc is getting power. Keep in mind that the problem could be really simple, like the on/off switch ripped off, the brushes broke, or for some odd reason (i've been through this a few too many times) theres no crystals in the receiver :rolleyes:

Hope this helps

[Crashmaxx]

This is all brand new and installed right, I e-mailed novak so I should have it working soon.

For the servo, it was just way too big, I grabed a smaller one and used it.

[k_sw31]

I'm stumped then :confused:
