I spent several years designing belt, chain, and transmission drives for oilfield applications up to 2200 hp. I always laugh at the online arguments on rc forums about which ones are better and why....

Wow, over $500 and it won't be long before people think they need to spend even more money in upgrades. At some point things are going to get too expensive to keep people interested. $300 was my...

What drew me to the 210 in the first place way back when was the fact that it was the only car that could do MM3. I hated my X6^2 but liked it a lot more once I installed the original X6 3 gear. That...

Will there be a conversion for the new laydown car? Saying that, the new car looks like a KC but with a laydown.

In my opinion offset should not be specified at all. Rules like this are ridiculous. It limits geometry options that a manufacturer can have. Width and diameter can be specified but offset should be...

It's not quite that simple. That's why tuning guides are nearly worthless. We never really got into much detail here and many things have changed in rc since this thread started that make some of the...

Heat treating is far more involved than just making something hot and then cooling it down. You can make a piece harder but more brittle or you can reverse it. I used to spec parts for industrial...

My eyesight is very different between each eye and my depth perception suffers on larger tracks. I'm lucky to keep it between the pipes at all on the back sections of a larger track. For me a 50 x...

That's actually my favorite trait about the car. Motor rotation doesn't affect forward or rearward weight transfer. It's neutral.

Most vehicles on the market have far more options than anyone would ever use or need anyways. Stripping it down to only what is necessary is a good thing.

Since I've been driving mine I've found it to be the best 2wd I've ever driven. I haven't tried it on loose dirt but I'd imagine rear motor is still king there. I have no idea why 3 gear mid motor...

They are extremely easy to solder and there's far more solder contact area than on a flat Dean's plug. I'd recommend an XT60 down to 12 gauge wire, which should cover all 1/10 applications. I...

I have never liked 4 gear mid motor. I even hated 4 gear MM back when the 210 first came out, before everyone went to mid motor and swore by 4 gear back then. Either 3 gear mid motor or 3 gear rear...

I still have two 210's and a 210F along with a bunch of spare parts. I love the car. The 210F is the best 2wd I've ever driven. I have no idea why 2wd has gone to the motor orientation that it has.
