RC10 nose plate... let me ask this. Has anyone moved the front bulkhead/shock tower pieces forward more?
Last post
couldnt you just adjust ride height to compensate for the ride height change?
also if any one has done this what pros and cons did you see? i would think it would make the car a tad more stable in the rough and better approach angle on jumps.
Who has done this swap? I can find complete kits on Associated's website, but not the individual shafts. Closest thing I found is a .80 shaft, pn. 9723 for B4, B44.

But the b44 with those shocks also ran a different lower spring retainer also.
What shocks off the new associated cars will fit the re re worlds and re re rc10 Classic? Are there big bore aluminum options? What modifications will I need to make?

Thank you...tucked the edge of the speedo into the battery cup, opened a hole in the top of the cup. Out the hole, through the bulkhead and to the motor. I've been getting more OCD about simple/clean/neat wiring as I get older.
So the previous owner hot glued the entire diff assy on my RC10 Team Car (stealth gearbox) into one solid lump. It's like having a solid gear drive. I'm guessing he lost the balls for the ball diff so just bodged it like this.
I've yet to drive it:...

I had a full scale jeep with a welded diff. Massive, massive under steer anywhere on the street. I imagine driving at speed on a dirt road it would lead to a bit more over steer if I were to have the horsepower to turn the tires, which it did not.
Somewhat new to the forum, definitely not new to rc, but I recently picked up a well loved graphite rc10. She cleaned up great. After a complete tear down, and cleaning of course. The parts were dyed black, so I re dyed them, freshened them up....

Hello guys, I need some help from the RC10 gurus. First, I've got a 1990 Championship car that is pulling duty on the track until my modern cars are up and running. The car was originally a 6 gear car so when I decided to pull her out of retirement,...

Not sure what was happening that day at associated, but someone put the top shaft in backwards. Simply pop the clutch off, open the case and swap the top shaft around and put the little cap on the other half of the trans case.
We now have a track in my backyard. The jumps are firming up with regular watering, but the rest of the track tends to stay rather soft despite watering.

The body in this b3 vid. is the body shown on page 23 of the b3 manual I downloaded from the AE site. Picked up a B3 with blue anodized nose , motor plate , and rear chassis plate. Did the team or factory team have this body in the kit?

It's the Deja vue tu Body from proline... It's still my favorite body & I have a nib TBG one in my closet! ;-)
Originally, it came in the B3 Worlds Conv Kit, body wing, updated pieces..
The wing blends as part of the body.. It's pretty awesome!
The RC10B2 #9155 black servo saver parts - did anyone ever make an alloy upgrade?
If not, does anyone know of one made for different kit that would work?

Are the B2's shorter than an RC10's servo saver? I bought a set of GPM cranks for a Losi Street Weapon to use on a RC10 Terminator build that I wanted to rotate the servo on. The holes were pretty close:

ahh okay thanks and sorry abou the thread. So, the new 1.32 shafts would fit perfect? and yes, its a 98% original car so it should be the short arm.
When working with the wide RC10 front arms, I often run into clearance issues attempting to install the lower shock mount. My usual solution is to file the arm until there is enough clearance. Is there a better solution?

slightly stiffer front spring
That alone was the biggest mistake. Stiffening the front end will create more push

For shock bodies measure them on the insides. From the bottom of the shock inside to the top of the threads on the opening will be close to the shock stroke length.

Why the rear 2.2 wheels for the rc10 buggy Part #: 6805Y from Team Associated are narrower than modern 2.2 wheels? I have some old 2.2 wheels think they are proline and they are wider , dose anyone no if i can get the wider rear 2.2 wheels?

Besides the obvious ease of finding wheels, is there a reason to pursue a front hex swap for my B2 & T3?

if not what needs to be modified for them to work? \

Yes u can use the b4 series caster blocks and steering arms to convert to hex, it might change the overall front wheel base a little, not sure what the ROAR max limit is, that may only matter is your racing, the only mod u will need to do is drill...
