That’s actually a good idea I will certainly speed it up! The sound of my own voice on video puts me right to sleep I can only imagine what you guys are doing to try & stay awake 🤣

Thank you it’s really grown on me now that it’s put together!

It had its ups & downs for sure - nothing in there that’d surprise a veteran like you though 😉

Yeah Martin there’s seriously too much bad stuff going on in the world for us to turn what’s supposed to be a fun hobby into another thing to stress out over

Absolutely my pleasure and thank you for making videos as well sir 👍

Man im blown away knowing there are probably lots of cars I still don’t know existed back when we were kids - something about the hunt for new/old stuff is so addictive!!!

Hey that’s funny you noticed that curved servo link - it was much straighter out of the box only it was too long, I put that curve in there myself and nearly shit my pants doing it 😂

Thanks DC

It's Italian. SG, TAG, OPS are all brands that are owned by Mantua Model in Italy, rebadged as the Robbe Geronimo and sold all over Europe. Mantua Model still lists all the spares they still have on their website, so it can be easier to run one of their old cars than some of the bigger brands.

@@techspeedrc so you can get parts for it still?

Yeah it can be a little hard to sort out what make/brand kit you have with some of these guys - I had spent several years searching EBay for the Robbe Geronimo & had no idea the Tag Jet was the same car until not too long ago

@wadeskelton7585 If you can still get parts for it, they still should make the carespecially when. Vintage stuff. Is hot right now they could make money on them.

It’s kinda like you told your mom you wanted a pair of air Jordan’s but she got you the British Knights 😃

Dude why can I never remember the word countersink when I’m making a video WTH?!? 😄😄😄

@@wadeskelton7585 LOL, the brain farts seem to be stronger once the camera is on!! There have been more than once where there was 3 minutes of silence with me sitting there thinking of what I was trying to say that gets edited out! LOL!

Thank you Terence that’s not a bad idea I definitely need to add something there to reduce that flex some green accents would tie it all together!!

Thank you! Ended up getting both a cnc mill and lathe, and a manual lathe in order to make a couple tiny parts - completely ridiculous way to go about it but I do use the manual lathe a lot glad to have it! The body does need more decals for sure I just might do that at some point 👍

@@wadeskelton7585 If you have the skill and tools then why not, paying an engineer might not be the best way to go - $$$$$$

Thank you but given how many cars I’ve seen over the years I think that should have been more obvious to me early on - got there eventually I guess 👍

All balls & no brains 🤷‍♂️

Thanks dude!!!!!!!!

That means a lot from the man who built a replica of castle hills raceway in his back yard 👍👍👍

Much appreciated brother ☺️

No more 4WD RC10 videos I promised 😁 thank you for following along I’ll be sticking to less ridiculous endeavors from now on this one wiped me out!

The only one I know about was MIP - there is a kit currently for sale on EBay now for just $7000 😄

@@wadeskelton7585 insane price.

Thank you brother ☺️ if you ever hear me talking about starting another project along these lines please remind me not to 😄

@@wadeskelton7585 LOL! It is really awesome but yes, I can try and spare you the frustration again.

Thank you sir I’m just glad it’s over 🤤

Thanks Brian almost as cool as you getting a bandit up over a hundred miles per hour 😉

I’m just glad there’s a bunch of folks out there who are still interested in these old cars man thank you for watching 👍👍👍

I agree it just won’t fit lever up 🤷‍♂️ I’m clueless as to which car this body was for originally I’ve never seen another one like it - also I don’t know where the wheels/tires came from there’s too many mysterious parts on the car all around - I’d love nothing more than a chance to chat with the original owner!

Oh wow I’m so happy to hear from a fellow lover of these cars! The engine that’s in the Presto in this video is an OS .21 SE-B and I just used the muffler off the old engine that was in the car when I got it - seems like one that might have come off an inferno dx or something like that. I tried to find the right tuned pipe as well but they’re really hard to get hold of!!! For an unbuilt presto kit I got an OS .21 VF-BR but finding the correct exhaust header has been a pain as well - I absolutely refuse to buy an entire car just to rob the pipe & header from 😄 Hope to see your progress on UA-cam!!!!

I really really hope it runs solid this time I want to be able to say it’s good enough 😂 I’ll get on those stickers soon I promise 👍

Yeah, painting sure ain’t for everyone but you’re a lot better at it than I am man!

Thanks man. Initially I thought I would eventually offer to make parts for a conversion but I still don’t think it’s ready for showtime honestly. Let me see how the thing runs with the new diffs/pulleys installed. If it feels solid I might be willing to assist you. The last thing I want is for anyone to feel like I helped make their prized RC10 a POS 😄

Thank you Addam I was super excited to score the Triumph - so lightweight and delicate I bet it’d be fun on your track!

Thanks bro I wish I knew which heater to buy first my garage. If only some guy would make a video for UA-cam 🤔

Thank you sir I wish I could stop looking for new stuff all the time 😂

Dude thank you I will try that - I’ve never seen any this bad 🤣

Dude you have to be sure you let me know if you do start working on a 4WD RC10 I’d absolutely love to see how you decide to go about it - this particular challenge has kicked my ass 😄

@@wadeskelton7585 Will do. I already have a slider to work with just there is always so many projects on the go at once.

I feel that brother!

I think there’s a chance Kyosho might do that also a re-re version might have certain parts beefed up just enough where you could really give it the beans without fear of breaking it!

Hey man right on glad this thing brings back memories - every time I look at it I crave a cigarette and feel like I should be somewhere shooting pool 😃

Hey thanks man none taken! I honestly don’t know any better - would the 30 deg kick up be a problem with the 4WD specifically or with the car in general?? Early on this mod would have been a lot easier for me to pull off if the chassis were nice & flat to be sure 😄

Great, I thought I was going insane 😆

Thanks man!!!

I appreciate that man thank you - just so you know I don’t have a clue what the hell im doing or talking about half the time 😄

I agree man it’s good for the soul 😀

I think it might actually be - I didn’t see any smoke at all at idle/low speed but the screw for the low end is a pita to get to so I just left it cuz it stayed running - definitely would adjust before running again 👍👍

Thank you it put a big ass goofy smile on my face for the rest of the day 😊
