RC10T4 is a Stadium Truck, something like your MT2. The buggy version is RC10B4.

Anybody got a Tamiya Gravel Hound? What can I do to make it better?

Thanks!

You've got one already? Check out an extensive review and mods by a local guy here.

I suggest you play it as is before making it 'better'.

[nightbreed]

Thanks, MA. I read that already. That's why I went out to get it. The only major fault is the shocks.

Have a good holiday!

Winnie used to sell Assiciated and Losi stuffs but not sure now. Order from Towers lor. But be forewarned.....parts will be an issue.

I'm thinking of ordering the Duratrax Evader BX from Towers. Can order together to reduce shipping cost. But you have to wait 6 weeks, coz that's the time it takes for the stuff to arrive here via the snail freight.

The Associated RC10B4 Buggy Kit is USD$170 from Towers.

Hmm. US$170, eh? Sounds ok. GIAN! I'll let you know about getting stuff together. Quite feasible.

This month no good....discount is only $15 for >$150 order. Next month should be better. Last month, if order >$300, it's a whooping $40 off. Can offset most of the freight charges.

Hi, another question. I built the Gravel Hound, supposed to be 4WD. When the power is off (car n Tx), and I put the car on the floor, I cannot push it along. I have to really force it before the car moves. Is this normal? Also, when I drive it, the stock 540 engine gets real hot in about 5 minutes or so. Cannot even put finger on it for 1 sec. Normal?


Thank you!

you got your gear meshing wrong or your spur/main gears are shot.

Thank you!

sounds to me something is binding again. your car should be able to move when its not switched on. this binding can cause the motor to heat up too

[nightbreed]

Wah lau! Brand new, leh!! *SIGH* Think I will tear it down and build it up again. Well, practice makes perfect.....
