How do you mount the body? Do you drill the front holes first than rear or rear first than front holes?

@trevorfurlotte 4 күн бұрын

@fpvfish6218 I drilled the front first and then made sure the center line of the body was centered over the shock. With the rear body mounts removed, I marked the locations for the rear posts by inserting a drill bit up from the bottom through the graphite cross plate holes where the posts attach. I did this with a drill bit.

Great video, thank you Trevor. May I ask what tire you put on the CK25? And would you recommend it?

@trevorfurlotte 4 күн бұрын

Thanks! I went with the Gravity RC - TYPE 12 12th Scale Rubber Tires - GRC142B. I chose this due to the recomendation of the drivers at a nother track who are all switching to it. It hasn't been tested at my local track yet. It still requires sauce but is far easier to maintain than foam. Hard to recomend it for you without knowing what surface you run on or if you have a foam tire truer or not.

"Carl" obviously knew his aerodynamic: he filled the gap between the wing struts with clear coating to minimized drag, the cowling exhaust is a thing of fluid beauty. Anyone putting so much thought into aerodynamic (at the expense of appearance) must have designed amazing planes. God forbid you ever crash it, but if you ever do, document the innards, like the internal structure of the wing.

@zoridor16 Ай бұрын

Wow! What great improvements!, recent servo with metal gears, 60 amp brushed esc, 2s lipo battery, and what impresses me most is the 12 turns motor, it will run very well, although I would definitely be very careful not to damage the gears. the transmission, but with 17-19 mph I think it will be a lot of fun! Hopefully you'll run it soon and do a speed test, lubricate the differential well and don't take it over 19 mph! to avoid damage

@trevorfurlotte Ай бұрын

@zoridor16 added capacitors and it's still acting strange. Top speed is less than an old school modified motor I used to run in my original trucks back in the late 80s. That said, I did make sure the gears and diff were well lubricated. Thanks for watching!

@@trevorfurlotte yeah with lower ride heights the kit shocks need the collars to the top (which it appears you did) but then the spring can move around since the spring cup can't keep the spring secure and sometimes the spring will come off the bottom.

My first RC car kit had a mechanical speed controller without a BEC so I ended up using both the servos as well as the battery box that came with my Futaba Attack II. The JRX Pro was my first race-grade RC car as well. I wanted an RC10 and it would have been the sensible choice as there was local support for it but a new kit was too expensive so I got a used Team Losi instead. I also think the JRX was the superior car and the old gold pan had been obsolete since the turn of the decade but TA had the best drivers and the cars were modified heavily to keep winning. In 1995, they created something that became even more successful for a longer time (I count the B3 and B4 as iterations of the same car) even if it doesn’t have the iconic status of the OG. So Asso came back with a buggy that was modern and competitive out of the box. I got back into RC after a long hiatus and I’m driving Team Associated cars now: the B74.2 and an RB10 that I built from a DR10 kit and equipped with a Penguin B4 Repo body. I remember my JRX Pro and ’94 YZ-10 with great fondness but I have no interest in hunting for expensive NOS stuff with a constant worry about breaking something I can’t replace with reasonable effort so the RB10 is retro enough for me. If you sent one 25 years back in time people wouldn’t blink an eye, they would think it’s just a metric experimental B2/B3 from Asso. If you sent a B74.2 back in time people wouldn’t know which way to look at it and who even made the damn thing. The rivalry between Team Associated and Team Losi reached the ass-end of Europe as well. In the ’90s, the local way of pronouncing it was ”Team Lousy”. Sadly, I didn’t have the skills and resources to fully exploit the potential of the JRX Pro so I was never able to prove them wrong.

I know this is an old video but I like the work you did with this and mentioning the RB10. I grew up on rear motor cars, including the original RC10 and I prefer this format to the mid motor cars of today. Anyway, I do race my RB10 quite competitively and at least for my tracks I find the gear differential with heavier fluids works much better than the older ball diffs and they last longer too. I did upgrade the shocks to B6.4 shocks, upgraded the servo and radio but I have been running the 3200kv Reedy motor and SC that came stock and it’s been really good. Plus parts availability are great due to the shared platforms. Thanks
