|  RiverRiders RS10 Build
Picked up a RS10 for a 100 bucks, it is all stock, servos both are no good and was told the battery wasnt any good aswell but it did power the fan on the esc. didnt take a pic of when i got it but all you have seen a stock RS10 so no need for one anyway. i did a few things to it all ready installed a hitec high torque metal gear servo in the front and a cheapy servo in the rear for now until i lock out the rear end. i slid the shocks closer to the axle making it lower. installed my proline bead lock wheels and my losi comp claw tires. Fitted the losi comp crawler body on the rs10. and installed my spektrum dx3e controller/reciver still need to try and charge the battery it came with and see if it still ok if not need to buy new ones, sold out all my nimh batteries =( here is a pic of what it looks like at the moment more to come.  |

hey there bro! just my $0.02 here, but don't waist money/time, mostly time that is, waitin on UPS to show up with parts. just get yourself some 1/2" x 1/8" aluminum flat stock from like lowes/home depot, and make your own "wing" eliminator kit. it's simple , i've even made some out of 1/8" delrin.  |

well the town near me has TGN Distributing and they have a Dual motor ESC/BEC the Outcry 60 bucks... But i have searched threw threads and couldnt find anything on this redcat ESC that i would like to know.... Can the ESC of the Redcat be programmed like a velineon system, or any other way??? If thats all it needs i wont have to buy that esc yet. And there is a small little white switch on the side too i dont know what that is??? Can someone please let me know thank you. Oh if this helps the LED is solid Red... I bought red cutting board and gonna be making my wing eliminator with it, make bent links and uppers... And also im gonna be cutting the chassis off the bottom to get more clearence and making a skid plate with some of that cutting board. Thought about making my own chassisout of Thick Lexan. Currently i am going threw the axles inspecting everything and lubing and cleaning as i go. Last edited by RiverRider779; 07-19-2012 at 12:53 PM. |

I bought an outcry esc. I have been running it for a while and it seems to be a very descent esc for the price. I think its manufactured by rc4wd. rc4wd was super helpfull with a problem I had so they get my of the official stamp of approval By the way there are TWO VERSIONS outcry ESC. a dual motor version and a single motor version. The only difference is a fan that you dont need and you can save $10.00 by ordering the single version.I did very similar mods to my own rs10. Check it out! http://www.rccrawler.com/forum/redca...ml#post3687652 |

There's no programming to the Lansu or the Outcry. Plug and play. Quote:

Thanks guys for the replies guess the esc is really toast oh well, yeah i was thinking of the dual motor outcry esc. Benthecrawler where did u get the 1/8 derin??? I tried lowes and home depot and they have nothing but lexan and the thickest the got is .220 which is what i may try. Your crawler looks great too btw great job I have a problem with one of the wheel hex rubbing making a drag its up against the turnknuckles and i have no room for a small washer to put inbetween. Also cut out my lower links from the cutting board i got. Post pics soon. still gotta finish servicing up one of the axles. |

I could not get the delrin locally so I ordered it over the internet. I learned delrin is just a brand name for acetal plastic. Heres a link to where I got mine. You can pick the dimensions your self. Acetal Sheet, Black: Amazon.com: Industrial & Scientific Glad I could help! Be sure to post pictures of the rubbing problem. There's a bunch of smart guys here that are eager to help! |

Been debating on fitting a XR10 chassis and upper and lower links to the rs10 axles. Just need to locate a chassis and links. The stuff i made for the bodiless chassis i did not like at all the the cutting board crap splits its like they glued 3 thin sheets together. So gonna keep an eye out for the xr10 stuff i want for it
