I've been depleting my stockpile of Proline Road Hawgs and Strikers and have moved on to CustomWorks since they are readily available still. I have used some Dirt Hawgs for 2.2s with success but the fronts are now like hens teeth and the rears are...

In looking at numerous car pics here, I noticed that none of them have rear sway bars. Even the box art buggies didn't seem to have any. Is there a reason for this? I looked at my own car and there doesn't seem to be a factory location in the rear...

Hello All,
By replacing RC10 stock bulkhead with NIX63231 bulkhead, you'll be able to mount RC10B4 transmission to your RC10 tub or carbon chassis. You don't even need RC10 Stealth transmission holes as this one mounts to stock bulkhead holes and...

Just like it says... whats the difference? They look very similar from the outside. Ano color is just about the same... just curious as I found a pair of DTX fronts

Hi there,

sorry for the modern question but I hope anybody can help....

I have a T4 as a runner. As things brake I need a new rear CVD (part: 7453). Problem is that this part seems very hard to find.... Also the T4.2 9596 CVA bone/9755 axle combo...

any of you old school dudes remember these? gimmick or not, it was just too rare to pass on so it became one of those items i was definitely going to win nomatter what.

just looking at the parts its not easy to see how it mounts to the chassis. did...

This thread is nearing completion. At this point I am just editing and correcting any mistakes. If anyone notices anything that should be changed please let me know..... I rebuilt an Associated 6 gear Tranny in the last couple of weeks. After wading...

Hi every,

I was wondering if anyone here has created a CAD file or a 3D scan of an original stealth transmission case that they are willing to share.

I would use this data as a starting point for a project that I am planning.

Thanks, Tony

Ok this may not be just for the RC10 but this is the only location on the site that maybe can answer this. Back in the day I had a RC that was no where the caliber of the RC10 and was closer to a monster truck than a buggy however it had two...

Do the Team Losi truck wheels fit 3/16 Associated axles? If they fit how far off is the offset.

Thanks
Jake

Need your help guys,
Anybody know what RAL numbers the powdercoat have on the old Associated chassis.
Could it be RAL 3024 or 3026 on the fluorescent red?
Any guesses on the other colors?

Hey, would someone know if the B3 front yellow wheels (9481Y) are nylon? I have a few of those and I am wondering if I can dye them black. It doesn't say on the package and I can't find any info. Thanks!

Why was/is there no aftermarket rear arm available for the b4/b44 besides the stock version and a hard version from AE, I dont want to run aluminum rear arms..........................

Am I missing something??

Jake

Hi RC10 world,

is there a calculating tool out there, where you can calculate the required distance of to gear center shafts for given gears?

I need this for an upcoming RC10 Project that I will share when ready.

Thanks, Tony

Okay guys did some searching for these #4447 blue ball studs and I dont want to pay 35$ for a pack so whats equivalent to these from another manufacturer. Not worried about the SAE or Metric threads its going in...

I have been trying to absorb as much as I can and relearn some things of the past. During my search, I have developed some more questions that I hope that you will indulge me on regarding the RC10 transmission.

First, there is the original stock...

What are the tell tale symptoms that the outdrives are shot? I started hearing a high pitched squeal and pulled the car off the track. I immediately thought it was the diff but the Track/shop owner thought it was idler. After pulling apart my...

Any interest in an actual body made for the RC10DS Andy’s RC use to make? the “Acer Camaro” I’m meeting with him in a week or so going to ask if he will produce these again.

Jake.

ASC6311, graphite chassis rear motor mount brace. Anyone know the part number for the RPM version?
I bought a black RPM one ages ago and can't find the header or part number anywhere.. Thanks everyone.

I'm rebuilding and modernizing a RC10CE (last produced gold pan) which I bought in pretty rough shape on eBay. I've put modern 2.2 wheels on it modern electronics (hobbywing, skyfly) and its running well. I am looking to replace the old rc10 dog...

Hi: I have been trying to get Shock ends or Ball ends for my builds.I need a bunch of them..RC 10.I can't find any online...sold out.I'm talking about the Threaded part of the Shock Shaft that screws into the mount,and the ball inside.

I found some...

I am not sure if this is the correct place for this question but here it goes. Does anybody know where to find a new belt for the Track Master Turbo Glide trans? I picked one up recently and completely rebuilt it. I refinished the carbon and...

hello! i found this old 2 speed trans. kit while digging thru old parts box, can anyone help identify what car it was made for? I am sure it is for Associated cars but I cannot figure out which model.

gears and adaptors

idler gear and...

Need some help with this thing guys first didnt realize cant run a bulkhead the shock tower bolts to the trans no biggie, second my dogbone ears do not fit into the axle stubs??????? I tried various models I had and third do these use a standard...

So who knows anything about CSC delrin sliding axle sets. I have never seen them before and i got a lot of parts the other day and kept one set and sold the other in another lot then got more parts in the mail today with another set.

So, I got 2 old rc10s, an original, and I think the other is a worlds; stealth tranny, wider front arms, ect. Anyways, not worried about worlds or not. I left the hobby years back, life and such. Now getting the things running again. Ok, so enough...

Ok I'm at my wits end with this and I would like any help. I missed the boat when they were making tires and rims for the RC10 a few years back. I know there are rims still being made by JConcepts but tires are the bane of my existence. I'm willing...

I think this is an RPM setup but not sure on the double deck chassis? Is it desireable?

I never paid much attention to the conversion kit cars or aftermarket chassis

Can one of you guys get me 6355 and 7355 rear arm hinge pin to hinge pin measurements please.

Just to clarify basically I need the length of the rear arms.

Thanks
Jake

Would it be possible to convert it to direct drive? Is it just swap out the belt drive gear and top shaft with a spur?

Thanks
Jake

DS for drag racing only what would you guys run up front 5,10,15,20,25 or 30*, I got some 5’s and it pitches the castor blocks something fierce towards the (correction) FRONT of the car not sure this is what I want?

Any recommendations would be...

Just playing around with the DS you can see how bad the car shakes in the first half of the video vs second half after balancing the assemblies. I could do better but this is good enough...................................

Any1 have a copy of Team TRC RC10L rear sway bar kit install instructions, there is nothing on You tube

Recently got a carbon chassis that someone super glued some components to. Chassis is otherwise mint and I’d like to keep it as such, sans the super glue. Any sure fire methods for removal?

I hadn't notice until today that the old style 6565 case is still available. This probably has been discussed somewhere on the forums before but I'm not able to find it. Setting aside the differences in idler gear bearing placement, is the old style...

Hi guys are their any differences between a RC10GT Nitro stealth trans and a RC10DS electric trans, is it a straight swap thanks in advance.

Jake D.

This has probably been done before but I thought it might be interesting.
Home Depot screw cover, some poster putty and a smudge of yellow paint.
I never did like the servo tape cover and I don't have a lathe to machine a cover.
I think it looks...

When I saw this posted on ebay my initial thoughts were either this is a typo or it's a joke. I've never seen these before. I guess for an on-road application they'll work fine. Anyway, the parts are by AE so they should be reasonably durable....

Hi all. I am attempting to rebuild the shocks for my CE and I don’t have any replacements for the snap rings that go in the bottom of the shocks. Does anyone have a source for them? Thanks!

I've noticed that many of the hinge pin holes in Niki's '91 Stealth racer parts that came from iMaterize are printed oversize (a standard 1/8 pin is way too loose).
A #30 drill bit which is 0.1285 diameter fits almost perfectly. I've found reamer...

Hi all.

So I may be officially insane. I really want to race a short arm 6-gear gold pan at my local racetrack. It is probably the best configuration for a vintage RC10, as it dirt with a slight loam when run wet. I don't expect to win anything, I...

For anyone whom wants to attempt it:

B4.2 carriers & knuckles (with hex, axles, bearings, etc)
Losi XXXT (confirming model) rear hubs, using the 'inner' hinge pin hole
B4.2 CVAs & hexes (or just B4 CVDs like I have here)

Drill the front carriers...

I just rebuilt my stealth transmission with new bearings and a t4 top shaft and fresh grease. I figured it would be nice and smooth, but now it has a nice hitch in it. This is when I have it screwed to the motor plate, but no clutch on it. I'll be...

I've got this Track Master Excalibur direct drive transmission that I want to install in my goldpan sprint car but I'm having some trouble figuring out the proper bearing size. I have the original manual, but it doesn't list bearing size---just...

There's a lot of older threads discussing this, but various parts have been discontinued over time. Anyone have recommendations for the best options for buying a new set of .71 / 1.32 set of shocks that actually match (or are close to matching...

Does anyone have any tips for removing the idler gear bearings from my RC10 stealth transmission? They are the last thing to remove in my tear down and Im stuck. Tried a good smack on the table and they didn't budge.

FullSizeRender.jpg I remember having a really hard time with the tiny screws and allen key.
Well that was 32 years ago.

This is the easy way to get those little 0-80 x3/16 things in. The 0.35 allen key is a little fiddly!

Just get a 0.9mm MIP...

Could you folks help me compile a list of the generic bits of an RC10? Sizes of the screws and such is what I'd like to compile a list for, such that you can get a set of generic screws and such rather than pay a premium for AE branded hardware.

I need some help. There is an A stamp on the bottom chassis of the car. Is this a 6-gear transmission or could this be a stealth?
I recently changed the old electronics to a brushless Castle Sidewinder 4600 kv motor/esc combo and 2s Lipo. I ran...
