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...
Didn't see a thread started on this yet. Thanks to Andrew Cooke of Grand Prix 3D for making this dream build possible.

...oh interesting!
I have a B2 gearbox that I've used to therefore make at least a 'B2 compatible 2.4:1' casing! ;-)
This has the slightly larger diff gear than the original stealth, but smaller than the 2.6:1 type, and yes the bigger idler and...
Just arrived. Nicer than I even hoped. I'm chasing a childhood want that I never got then. 8) Got a few others on the way to make runners out of. I'm scared to even take this one apart :lol:

This has to be the build that inspired AE for the hue of the re-re World's ballcups.
New guy here and excited to get back into RC with my kids. I’m in my 40’s so these buggies were my first love. I’d watch my neighbor for hours jumping his RC10 on the sidewalk. My parents got me a first gen Ultima. Loved it. Lol....

I found some of the extra parts that came with the car. The round indentations behind the Tekin is a dead giveaway.
Best things I see are the ESC and cover. Motors look beat.
So I got my dad’s old rc10 and it has a body spoiler on it but I was just looking at old pics and never see anyone have one of these is this something factory you could buy or was this a custom part my dad made?

Was there ever an update on this car running carpet?
I went to visit the Pargu store in South Korea earlier this year, and while perusing his shop came across his last gold aluminum rims for the vintage RC10. It must have been in storage for many years. These are the 1.7 rear and 1.9 fronts (I think...

I tried a set of those tires on some JConcepts Detonator wheels, but the sidewalls rubbed on the carriers. They may have cleared truck carriers but I never got around to trying.

That Revolution motor looks like a nice score too. That graphite chassis buggy is terrible. Who'd want to keep that? 😁
Per a suggestion on this forum I purchased some Jconcepts mono 2.2 rear wheels (JCO3404W), and some Jconcepts JCO3403W rear wheels. Both are pictured. Neither fit out of the box. I realized that I need the 3/16x3/8 bearing for the front, my original...

What I've done instead of buying a whole set of 3/16 CVDs is just swap out the 1/4 axle with a 3/16 and reuse the rest of the 1/4 cvd parts.
These MMS cars were quite a thing over in the UK, and having come across a few now, and having seen them in period UK racing mags being used by top drivers such as Jason Varley I always keep an eye out for them. A couple of months ago an online RC...

I actually cross-checked mine against a complete RC10 nose piece i have here and the angle is pretty much spot on. Considering how good Jamie was i bet he barely crashed with that car... although the whopping bumper added leverage i suppose!

Latest update comes from Ian Diboll who informed me that Nick Adams did indeed have a gear cover made through his contacts at WASP Racing. Still not got 100% confirmation that this is the one however.
I have a nose plate that is in pretty good shape. Typical arc scratches from the steering bellcrank and the front has a bit of a wave to it. How are you guys bending it back into the correct position without leaving marks or making things...

Amazing build, let us know how it drives. I was thinking of building something similar.

Ok, it does work, but the range is only about 25-30 feet. And sometimes, even within that it will pause, then start again turning full right.

I realized tonight that I did actually move this build along since the last chassis pics. Turnbuckles and ball cups are on. I also had a pair of AE universals chrome plated and installed. Oh, and the nose tubes.
This came with my RC10 DS kit just as Associated was moving on to the RC10B2.
They were still selling the RC10 C.E. as the best value in American made cars interestingly.

was the RPM conversion kit / ultra molded chassis the only one that used the narrow width truck style nose / nose plate out of the box? Was there also an AE Version that used this, or are those after market changes?
Thanks,

It's aftermarket. Andy's had one too that was called the Pro Race .
Some AE drivers not racing a Stealth car at the 91 Worlds used a prototype/pre-production version of the RPM 7077 Worlds front end kit on their RC10's.

Love it! When I built my replica, I came to appreciate all the details it takes to get it right.
Did you have the shock caps hard anodized? That was one part that I had to approximate, olive drab tamiya paint was the closest I could get.
I tried searching and came up short, since its a slow night, I thought would bring a question up that has been nesting at the back of my mind for some time :mrgreen: The early Edinger manuals were white covered, but...were there any yellow covered...

Hi there
I only have a camera are there any pages you want to see in particular?
I finally got my hands on a rc10, never had one before. It was missing a few parts that I will start tracking down, but regardless I'm very stoked about getting it cleaned up and in shape.

I knew that they were out there, but bottom load 1.02's aren't very common. By the time they were in common use (10T), they were top load.
I have been getting my 100* 8-32 1/2 screws from Fastener Express ever since I got back into the hobby, and I feel like each time I order, the quality of the anodizing / dyeing gets worse and worse. The bag of 50 I got today are simply terrible! I...

$1 for each screw?
Is that expensive?
Quick reference, CRC is wanting $1/per for the red anodizing, so for darn correct green, $1/per is on par.

I've tried numerous O rings when rebuilding my original gold shocks; Traxxas, Yokomo and some other brands which I've forgotten. All I get is stiction.

Common 006 silicone o rings fit fine, same as nearly everyone uses.

The rear shock tower is your own design but what is the rear body mount from?
The tower is already drilled for a 10t style body mount. That wasn't gonna work this time, so jwscab made one for it out
of square 1/4 nylon.
My friend is moving and he asked me if I wanted his old b3s. Hell yea I wanted them! It’s only been like 15 years since I last played with my long lost b4 (RIP, you were in near perfect condition :cry: ). I barely had enough to even finish a kit...

Would the 0 degree setup allow for Traxxas bandit arms on a classic rc10?

I picked up this gold pan earlier in the year. I got some old school proline wheels with it and the tires are wearing out quickly. I need to find a commonly available tire/wheel combo for dirt. Which wheels/tires do you all run for playing around?

Also, there is a decent chance that there are tires available that will fit your current wheels. With all the re-re's on the market, I suspect that something is usable.
You'd just need to get your old tires off and get some measurements. I like...
