Video

This was a very well put together tutorial. I’ve honestly always dreaded the painting part of the hobby. I simply am not very good at it. However, after watching what you just put together here, I am confident I can up my game significantly. There was a lot I was doing wrong, or simply didn’t even know. It’s funny, I am a luthier and woodworker, professionally, (amongst other fine skills…like being a watchmaker) and for some reason this particular skill has eluded me. I thrive on the minutiae. I just need to know what that is in this case, and now I do. Is it correct that you are up in Indy? I am down in Bloomington. I’d love to pick your brain sometime about good places to drive…that’s probably better for a direct message though rather than a public message board on a you tube channel. Anyway, thanks for making stuff like this. Makes me being a middle aged man that likes to STILL play with toys feel a lot better about it. Or, as one of my friends has once told me, they’re not toys, but, REFINED, HIGHLY ENGINEERED RACE CARS. Kits are the best for the hobby in my opinion.

That was very impressive and all you did was unbox it lol

For the speed run stuff basic lights are handy so you can tell which way the car is pointing way off in the distance especially in case it spins out or flips and rights itself.

I can’t wait for the build of this kit - any updates? 👍

Very nice unboxing video. It’s obvious that a lot of heart went into making this bespoke kit. 👏👏👏🙌

This is an incredible kit. Rob M. has shown some amazing work on the posts he leaves online. This is far better than I expected. Your video did a great job showing the effort Rob has put into this project. Thank you for the great video.

The ta02 and ta02t trucks are my favorite. I own the whole collection of them 😊

Looks so good! Thanks I learned some stuff Is it a good idea to clean coat the car after the stickers are on?

The detail is amazing isn't it?

I like the liquid mask idea. If not using liquid mask how do you feel about using flat clear to seal masking tape lines before spraying the first color on the car. My understanding is it seals the tapes edges and if it did bleed it cannot be seen.

Hi Rob, I’m currently building one on the bench. Looking into several improvement hop ups straight off the bat. Just wanna add, I’ve been enjoying your channel and all your contents ever since discovering it. Keep it up and I look forward to more. Thx!!! 🙏🏻

Last I'm glad I'm subscribed

My buddy had an original and his servo was definitely taped down too. I remember only because his servo would move around on the chassis

😮😮😮amazing truck 😮 Thanks for sharing 😊😊

Just picked up one off eBay. I’ve only built and painted 3 kits to date (Tyrell P34, ‘73 Porsche 911 RSR, and a BBX). Now you’ve spooked me on building this until I’ve practiced on more kits…need not to muff this one up b

Awesome build and tips. Yeah, XRAY spare parts are expensive, but usually, they are strong. 1/12 scale is so sick, so light and fast, even with 1S 😮

Last Thank you for saying my fault and not my bad when you made a mistake Did your shoes come in two different colors Do you guys race for money, bragging rights, or a trophy

I wish you would do a dedicated video on this. Only for personal reasons though. When I was young I remember reading about this exact kit in what was probably radio control car action. I recall trying to get my folks to take me to a hobby shop so I could see one of these in person and with any luck, they’d get it for me. That day never came as my folks didn’t really have the money to buy stuff like this for us kids. All good. They did what they could. I’d love to see more of this truck just so I can go back in time to a fun, memorable, place.

One of my favorite RC’s of all time. We used to run a small Class of these at Radioactive Raceway in Bolingbrook, IL, back in the day. I have an assembled but never run Re Re. It’s so beautiful.

Just built both these kits and man was the team associated a let down. So many little screws or o rings missing and the fit and finish of the drive line components was terrible. I feel like I need to upgrade all the plastic drive line parts such as ring and pinion gears in order for it to be smooth. The lc racing kit really blows this one out of the water.

Wow your home is right besides the park? you can literally go out the door and do some runs, thats awesome

I have just started my build as we speak. Stopped for a video break and this showed up in my feed. I was disappointed it did not have bearings as I assumed it would have unlike the RC10ST I built back in 1993. I was happy to see bearings in my Kyosho Optima re-release along with the belt upgrade. Hopefully I do not strip out pt#6575 like I did on my ST.

i still have my OG RC10T that i bought in the mid 90's it lives forever on my desk, the servo was tapped down but i used something tougher, still holding, notched the rear frame to make room for a clip on motoro heatsink, still running the old gem series diamond 12T double, Novak ESC, grey shocks, and lots of dust

I am working onthe same kit and u mentioned where I can put it but I still don't understand where I can put it at can u show me a visual video plz? I need help?

How durable are these?

How durable are these

I love your channel. I feel like we'd be buddies.

Nice build 😊 Just subscribed my friend. I look forward to building mine this week

Absolutely amazing job.

Good content 👍

Another great build 👍🤝Can't wait to see the body 😉

Some good insights!

So, which one did you like running more?

Love it... The escort body is the way to go and great tips for reference.

I have that same brushed reedy motor I bought for a T3 and it’s a good quick motor. I used a 2/1 spectrum brushed esc/receiver and I ran either 7 cell NiH batteries or 2s lipos and that setup I thought was great for the older cars. Much faster than they were originally and fun in the dirt. I sold my T3 and am looking to buy this redo. Thanks

nice mine should be waiting for me when I get home from work.

1:40 A.M. is not really an "All nighter". I would call it "burning the midnight oil." Not that I could stay up all night doing this. I'm too old for that crap. LOL

This is the first time I've seen your hair messed up lol Do you think the drivetrain can take a brushless system What don't you like about the brushed system

Love the content and delivery. Fast becoming one of my favorite channels 👍👍

Another great video, thanks for the build tips. Hoping mine arrives today.

Nice build!! -The chassis reminds me a bit of my own custom full aluminum ratrod rc... :D p.s. As far as I know the see-through clear electronics was originally intended for prison use to avoid contraband hidden inside walkmen and radios...

Appreciate you sharing. Bi carb and super glue works as a filler. Too many stress fractures in the brain for me. I've only got a set of metric taps. I won't tap that with a ten foot pole. I wonder what clear pearl or lame flake would look like between coats. Great job none the less. Team associated aka Bastard products inc

Great description of the build. The body looks beautiful. Well done 👍🙂

About half way through my cc build I decided to take one of the shock screws and sharpened and reshaped it a bit. A DIY 4-40 tap. What a difference after that. I used oil before. And standard Tamiya hex tool worked with the ball studs. Great video!

I love your attention to detail and your sense of humor

Looks great ... i really love the paint job....awesome

Lots of great tips in there to build this RC10 👍And the final reveal is awesome 🤩🤝

thanx for the hop up list!

did you custom build your house like a wharehouse - it looks really cool / practical

I like your whole set up, classy.
