This is a tribute to the great line of RC10 buggies produced since 1984-2009 (RC10 - RC10B4). This is a work in progress. It will take some time and help from fellow members, as we all learn new things about the different versions. So please be...
I have a two year old now and have gotten back into RC. I have my old childhood rc10 B3. I put in a brushless motor with amazing results but I would like to beef up the necessary bits for handling the new power. Advice is much appreciated 😊

For retro racing I upgraded my B3 to a b4 top shaft and slipper assembly, it's a straight swap and takes the strain out the single slipper pad that comes in the kit.
I have a left over black C Mark Team Car chassis from my Worlds car build a few years ago. I decided that I wanted to build another RC10 so I started collecting parts. First thing I purchased was a rere Worlds car stealth and shocks set. One night...

I used RPM ball Cups (where I could) as the ones from the car were really worn and I dont like the rere day glow color. I had to use a couple black AE ball ends I had on the shock tower side as two RPMs Cups would foul on each other. Jconceps...
Hi folks, just picked up this B3 and I wonder if anyone knows how hard it is to get things like shock shafts ect?
Hoping to run her (indoor only) just not at the expense of not being able to get any spares I might break if I do.
TIA.
I have multiple RC10s and an Element Gatekeeper and I started looking at the original shocks (42078) for the Gatekeeper.
I had to check and it shows that the enduro shock caps fits on the old RC10 shock bodies. You will need to purchase...
Here's the base for an upcoming build.

I blew the dust off of one on my projects (actually, they don't really collect much dust, I open them up to review them and what parts I need to get the kit to 100%, or change things around)
I have about 15 different 'kits' of buggies on my to do...
I know it's not necessarily vintage but could someone measure the diameter if the springs used on AE RC10B6.4 13mm shocks please? Part number 91947, 91948 or 91949 and possibly others.
I'm looking for springs with about a 15mm diameter, 60mm...

If you can find some older Losi springs, they fit. Any of the big bore stuff will require a spring collar and different cups.
Any idea what model Losi?
I do have some springs that are Traxxas Big Bore spring that I believe are for E-Maxx and...
well, thanks to bigmoose, i now have the andy's chassis i'd been looking for. and to make it even better, it's the entire kit. all new, in the original box. :D

It was sold with all of my other Andy's builds back in 2008 when all my health crap started. Never finished it.
It was shipped to me in a separate box. But it had changed hands a few time, and the address labels stuck to the back of the kit box....

Speaking of the stadium Blitzer, looks like the materials are all plastics. No need to rehydrate as with the nylon on a team associated vintage car, right?
I just restored my RC10 Championship Edition (B Stamp) that has not run since the early 90's
I swapped out most of the parts with matching aluminum, and still have the original parts (some broken)
I did a simple paint job to show off the gold pan....

Thanks for the clarification! Thats good news for me because all I have is a 6 gear and I can still build a correct representation of the CE.
This is my first RC10 runner and I had a spare Tamiya grasshopper body around. This is how two iconic cars look together :). A nice match?
The gold pan chassis and the grasshopper body actually line up together from the top and side view. I just...

Hey Dadio, can you post more full buggy pictures of the RC10 Grasshopper design? All these years I have a grasshopper but no RC10 to do the install of your rear suspension stay. When you get a chance, would like to see how it looks.
Were the wheels on the original World's Car fluorescent yellow or standard yellow? In most pictures of original cars, they look like plain yellow, but I'm not sure if that is due to aging. Pictures of the World's Re-Re look fluorescent.
Last post
I have a nib late all black 6037 Worlds kit, and the wheels are neon yellow. However, the shades can and do vary based on how much sunlight they have been exposed to. Here's an example of a few shades of the neon yellow.
Today was exciting. The first batch of iridium carbon fiber parts got cut. This includes BK rear towers for the 93 worlds car (mounting holes still need to be countersunk) as well as a batch of towers for the Losi mini JRX2. I’m sure many of you...

CustomCarbon, check your pm for a request on cuts.
Looks like the message was deleted. Let me know if need to follow up.
Anyone know what make these are ? Would they have had foams glued to them ? DA6ECC37-7CDE-4189-BB52-0223100EF44D.jpeg

Can someone point me in the right direction as to a good set of snap ring pliers that fit these shocks without modding? I bought a set at Harbor Freight with multiple attachments but non worked for me. Thanks
If these parts ever become available, does anyone know the cost effectiveness of having them anodized to match the classic RC10 gold?

They have been for sale, the website is sold out now though.
I searched a few times since they had the clear announced and nothing ever showed up. Did they actually have stock? I know I missed the gold re-release parts by a bunch of years, but I...

FanRC parts are great stand ins for original parts, and half the price on those rear arm mounts. Just depends on what your build will be. For a shelf car id go original but for a runner, brand new parts for less money is the way to go.

Last night I did a test cut for a Brian Kinwald 93 worlds style rear shock tower as close as I can reasonably get it I think. Let me know what you think.
Last post
This took a lot longer than I wanted, but the 93 Kinwald towers are going on eBay today made from 0.072” iridium carbon. Obviously, these are going to be fairly limited being a niche item, but if you are looking for one, check my eBay store.

Also has quite a few Andy's parts as well.

It will be a runner, I am just waiting for the last part - a battery strap of all things. I could only find the Thundertiger version and it has had to come all the way from Australia.

Love these jay halsey builds I styled my b6.4s with a touch of this styling. Still want to add black front wheels. It’s not as detailed but is a bit of a throwback.

I’m jealous that you still have your first RC. I sold my first and I would love to have my Rc10gt rtr, but I’ve replaced it in my adulthood with others, but there is something about all the others I’ve had the won’t ever match my first one. Congrats...
With a couple of projects nearing completion I've been collecting parts for another. Finding a nice black chassis seems to be difficult and $$$, so this is another build where I will be taking the long way around again making an equivalent to the...

It's an upgrade for sure.
Although I have several Tekin esc's and receivers, I agree. Calling them finicky would be mild.
Not to blow past that impeccable and periodly painted paint, but the body itself is really cool. It's kinda wild that IFMAR doesn't allow, say, a vent flap cut into the body unless it is originally molded/part of the body. I remember an A&L body...

Bolink listed graphite material and a chassis in their 1982 catalog, and I'm certain other onroad cars were using it well before that.

That's a pretty clean looking buggy. What sort of paint job is going with this? The blue is cool but it would be nice to tie it in with some other blue. How thick are your parts? If thicker than OEM, do the ball cups in the steering bell crank area...

Some late Edinger parts were packaged in early Cadillac kits. Lots of running production changes, and of course the location change.

Hey Lavigna - I know this is an old thread but I have questions!
What did you use for these items:
Rear Shock Tower
Battery Hold Down
Ball Ends / Turnbuckles
Did you use the MST ball nuts on front AND rear inside link spots?
What size front tires/wheels did the graphite car come with stock? Want to make sure I’m looking for and buying the right size tires for the stock wheels..
Also if you have a newish pair that will work let me know!!
Thx

If you don't care about tread patterns, Traxxas still makes a step-pin front and Schumacher has a couple rears.
Some of the re-re Tamiya's might also have options.

Did you decide against doing the outdrive bearing mod? That no longer requires the felt seals.
