RC10Talk - The Net's Largest Vintage R/C Community

Ok, I'm up and running! I've had a ball getting back into this hobby. Some vintage only folks may be disappointed in the upgrades I've added, but I wanted to learn about the new electronics :D One mistake I made is not realizing batteries have gotten bigger over the years. I had to replace the rear ...

I got some parts in today from AMAIN, Savox SC-0254MG servo, Avid 4-40 servo mounts, and a cool MST black/silver adjustable (8 position) servo saver. SSC10steerservo.jpg Nomad, I just picked up the same MST servo saver. Do you know what size ball cup is used with it? I have a standard 3mm turnbuckl...

Ok, I disassembled everything and gave all the parts a nice bath. I've read a few places about how great Simple Green is, but I didn't find it particularly powerful at cutting through old grease and grim. Perhaps I didn't soak it long enough. I did find Krud Kutter quite effective: https://smile.ama...

Just saw the credit come through now, so all done with Activepowersports. Got some time in the shop this weekend. Figured out how to wire up the old Futaba ESC and servo to the new Futaba receiver. Thanks for the tips here! Everything seems to be working fine. Now I need to do some cleaning/rebuildi...

I've not had any luck with activepowersports.com. They list things they don't have. One time I got a quick refund, net time I had to ask, not very politely to get my money back. Both times for the Stealth out drive. Good luck! Well, I'm having the same poor experience with Active Power Sports. I or...

Thanks! The rear wheel nuts are #8-32 (same thread as those large aluminum green/gold screws). The cheaper steel ones appear to be out of stock on AE's website but you can also find them at Fastenal and many well-stocked hardware stores. Great, I was able to pick some up from Amazon. I've been amas...

Cool! Vintage Futaba ESC, servo and Rx with G connectors... and a foam motor cover. A real time machine!!! You'll want to replace those plastic wing nuts with metal lock nuts on the wheels. Otherwise, it doesn't look like it will require much effort to make it road worthy again. Very nice!! 8) Good...

Excellent Thanks!

Well, after sitting in storage for 20 years, here's a couple of shots of my old RC10. I consider these "before" shots. Will be fun to clean her up and do a few upgrades before taking her out for a spin.

That is heavy. Hard to imagine that's a performance enhancement for racing, but it is pretty

considering the gold tub, a and b will be very similar if you lay the antenna down on b. b can be as good as a or better if you keep it internal but raise the exposed part of the antenna above the tub sides. C will be marginally better or a lot better depending on how you place b. the 2.4G antenna ...

Wow, those are some amazing looking wheels!! I've not seen them in plastic but I reckon the JC wheels are the closest thing. The spokes are really thin on those alloy wheels and I doubt that exact design in plastic would be sufficiently strong but I guess it's possible. Anyway, keep checking ebay; ...

Hey Zipity, I'm on my mobile but will try to cover your questions. Futaba 2.4Ghz receivers come in two types, one with external antenna and one with internal, hence, no wire. It's common to see both types. You will see the RX without designated with an "E" in the part number. Yes, you can...

These wheels are pretty hot: https://www.ebay.com/itm/2-2-Aluminum-Wheels-For-Team-Associated-RC10-Classic/283325338318?hash=item41f78192ce:g:KVoAAOSwcqxcLTMi:rk:1:pf:0 That said, my guess is aluminum is a lot heavier. Anyone know if they make this same style in plastic? I did pick up some JC Racing...
