Re: Official RS10 tips and tricks thread. Picked up a used RS10 last night. Almost new, very little use. I added 3oz of lead inside each rim, removed the foams, it's got proline adjustable aluminum shock on it also. It's does VERY well set up as is, gets very good traction with dry tires. One the tires are wet, they tend to spin on the rocks. I'll do a little cutting and see where that gets me. |
Re: Official RS10 tips and tricks thread. Was looking at 5 pole motors online and I remembered that 380 motors for the redcat rs10 was hard to find. I found these cheap and I think they will work. <table border="0" width="100%"><tbody><tr><td align="center" width="29%"> http://www.vac-u-boat.com/images/Cat...108_small1.jpg</td> <td align="center" width="105%">385 5-Pole DC Motor - Bare - (Vac-U-Tug Jr. motor.)

Re: Official RS10 tips and tricks thread. WHere do you guys get the lead for the wheels at? hardware store or is it from a rc shop? ANd is there a way to convert to a different battery connector? |
Re: Official RS10 tips and tricks thread. Try your local tire and wheel place for wheel weights. I work on garage doors for a living and when I go to a tire shop I just ask if they have any old stick on wheel weights and they give me a couple handfuls of the old weights that they peel off to rebalance . You can also buy the wheel weights if you can't scrounge up freebies like me. As for the battery connector, you can cut the old connector off and solder on a new one of your choice. |

Re: Official RS10 tips and tricks thread. The stock motors already rub, it is a pain in the ass but there are additional solder pads on the stock motors so i was able to relocate the wires a bit. Now at least the links do not rub on the wires. |
Re: Official RS10 tips and tricks thread. You can also put a few ounces of steel shot in your front tires to lower your cg. I just did this to my rs10 and it works wonders for climbing uphill. |
Re: Official RS10 tips and tricks thread. Just buy the desired connector online or at a hobby store and solder them on your battery leads. Be super careful if you are changing the connector on the battery though, if you touch the wires together the battery will short out and could explode. |
Re: Official RS10 tips and tricks thread. Quick question, will a 380 motor work on these axles? Sent from my SM-N920V using Tapatalk |
Re: Official RS10 tips and tricks thread. so being new to the forum, has anyone considered updating these sticky posts? All the links are now broken and no longer working. Just a thought. I understand everyone is busy with other things, so if not, i get it. |
RS10 - stretched out :mrgreen: longer links, longer shocks, steel wheels https://scontent.fatl1-2.fna.fbcdn.n...77&oe=5CCBE1EE https://scontent.fatl1-2.fna.fbcdn.n...b1&oe=5CC4758D Quote:
