Tech Rookie
I just bought some parts from chrisimp via ebay and he was quick and efficient to deal with
I'm surprised that these cars didn't get more love, they are really nicely made
Has the RCLab company turned into another company or been bought by another, or did it just disappear?

anything really, just keen on keeping it running and building up good stock.
if I could get hold of the belts needed for the 17/37 pulley setup that would be great as I have no spares and these are getting worn now (got spares for the other size which I don't run)
also if I could get front and rear bulkheads for the 7.6 I would be able to make up another car with the parts I have.
otherwise yep anything.... oh! would you happen to have any of the alloy outdrives for the spool setup? stupidly sold mine

I know I had a spool and I'm sure I have all the pulleys and belts for both sizes they did.
I probably have the bulkheads for the 7.6. I think I have blue from the Evo and the normal silver.
I will have a look at the stuff at the weekend and take some pics but I know I have tons

WoW.. it’s been so many moons gone by... still going.
RClab had been dissolved many years ago. Now a new RClab HK started. Not the same owner, it’s totally a new company starting small.
As for parts for the 5.2TTT to 7 series, I may have some new parts packed away. Once I find them I’ll try to post some pics or let me know if you have FB messenger so I’ll send pictures that way.
Cheers!!

I know there's no real interest anymore but I'll still update this. this year there's a big indoor carpet event happening with different classes. I've entered 17.5 spec class and will run my bsr bt4 and my Rclab gt3 which I've started to get ready.
Last time I used it in 13.5 I went too far with modern power on boosted and ripped the front apart destroying the ultra rare front solid diff and snapped a universal so got to work with modifying the outdrives ready to add plastic c parts and fitted a new driveshaft cleaned all bearings and're shimmed everything nice and right! next will be centre and rear clean and shim.

I'm under no illusion even in 17.5 blinky class at the MICC events coming up starting November I'm up against mega competitive racers many who are better than myself so what better way than to challenge with what is a vintage tourer?! 😮🤪 giving the old girl best possible chances whipped out a load of new in pack parts and got busy building a new diff up and belts, these cars have always ran smooth and free but this is on another level now! need to finish up the rear axles bearings and full shock rebuild yet but it's looking great. back in the day these cars could hang with the old tc3 in 27t and those things paved the way for most modern tourer suspension and steering geometry (minus all the low c&g stuff going on with shocks, I'll just turn these upside down aka rc10 buggy era to shift the weight 
) so I'm clinging on to that fact to convince me it'll do well. Christ as long as I can get it to carry speed through the corners then I'll be ok, just don't crash!

last night I whipped out a pair of brand new universals and got to work on the rear end, all shimmed out nice and right no wobbles here. (those odd coloured shock tops do annoy me lol. I feel a new built set of blue threaded shocks coming soon from the 7.7lab version!

been a few weeks since I worked on the rclab but tonight I started with the electronics, yeah racing hacktronic esc and savox servo in place, small electrics these days make it so much easier!

a little while ago we investigated what diffs might fit from other cars, main want was for a gear diff due to modern brushless power , finally I think I could have located a possible candidate!
a gear diff from a tamiya ta04 it's the same 32t pulley and roughly the same overall size so went about checking it out....
the diff!!
not sure how well the oil is going to stay in it, no seal?! started with 4k
also didnt fancy pulling apart my main car ive been meticulously setting up ready to race so found a part chassis to check fittment inside the bulkhead.
well it fits in and rotates nice and freely, only issue is alot of side play so have ordered a few schumacher diff shims to space it out.
to see how much shimming would be needed I gradually slipped out the left bearing from the plastic housing to see how much needed to move, not that much to be fair so shims should work out, ill leave the diff sitting still to see if the oil makes a run for it while waiting for the shims and hopefully build it up in the main chassis!

well I've ran the car with the diff and it worked really well. my concerns with oil escaping did come to light though l, while in use some could be seen trying to escape and by the third use the backend felt looser even though grip levels on track had increased so will need to revisit with heavier oils. 7k next as it felt slightly better looser helping mid corner rotation just want to see if I can keep it consistent and inside the diff! maybe use some sort of semi perm sealant made for real cars?
