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

Have the Eliminator fully assembled and now thinking ‘tronics. More from the motor / battery aspect as I have a Spektrum DX5C so I’m just going to get a receiver. I was wondering if anyone has gone brushless/LiPo on one of these models. My concern is it won’t be able to hold traction. Thought?

I know this is an old post, but I’m new on the forum. I’ll have to check that as I have an early no-stamp and just recently restored a CE. Hmmm.

Thanks for the info. The “new” one I recently acquired is white nylon, but who’s to say the internals weren’t changed. As I bought off a friend who makes a living selling parts. It may have been rebuilt with who knows what gear ratios lol. No matter, as its going in a CE and I’m hoping I can tame it...

If I may interject a question or two. I recently bought a Stealth tranny from a friend, as I’m going to replace the 6 gear I installed in my rebuilt CE, it I haven’t a clue how to tell the difference of these transmissions. B3, B4,... no clue. I’m old school and only knew the 6 gear. As I recently r...

Well Done. I hate to see a good car languishing in obscurity lol. I finished my second RC10 rebuild a few weeks ago, a CE. I rebuilt mr Edinger No-Stamp prior to that. Both are running, though I’m going to swap the 6 gear tranny for a Stealth this weekend. Good Luck

As a matter of fact, I received this today. A vintage Bolink Eliminator. My next restoration project, if I can scrounge parts lol. I may hit up my local hobby shop to see if anything is available. They carry RC10 parts, but not sure about Bolink.

That’s the plan. I’ve also lowered the front of the body shell to keep a little less wind from lifting her. We shall see.

Thank you, I checked and confirmed it’s a Challenger. I’ve tried to find a manual for it, but with a monumental lack of success. I can see getting parts for it is going to be a challenge. Rather poetic actually lol.

After nosing around, you’re probably correct. The only thing that gives me pause is that my car has those little clear plastic plates, which I assume were where the batteries mounted that I have seen on the Eliminator 10. I guess they played with the designs or these were installed as an upgrade (if...

Aside from my Bolink Challenger that arrived a few days ago, my vintage Bolink Eliminator showed up. If I can scrounge the parts, that’ll be my next restoration project. It needs a good washing and I’ll have to get bearings to replace the bushings and theb2 rear shocks are missing. Overall the cars ...

I had it about 5 months and while it was, for the most part, whole, it was grubby and rusty. I replaced most of the steering assembly, the shocks and had to drill a new place for the camber turnbuckles (also replaced) because the steering was binding. Not insurmountable problems. Added up to date el...

After 4-5 months of building I finally got my CE up and running. She’s sporting a brushless/ 2s LiPo and she is quick. Now if I can set her up so she doesn’t blow over at full throttle lol. She currently has a 6-gear transmission but I’ve acquired a Stealth tranny, which I’ll be installing this week...

Just received a Bolink Challenger, or at least I think it’s a Challenger. When I go online and run a search, I don’t see this particular chassis. It has the beige bottom pan and an orange top pan. It’s a 1/12 scale and still has the original msc. Also came with a stock Bolink motor. Any assistance w...

I’ve had an original RC10 Gold Pan for 32 years. I raced with it and ran it in the street. Back in the 90’s I loaned it to my best friend who had recently sustained a traumatic brain injury. I figured he was the one who got me into RC and he needed something to focus on. Well he focused on taking it...
