Where to find rc10 rear stub axle 6374 or what is a compatible part / approach to fix
The rear stub axle broke on my 35 year old rc10. Googling doesn't seem to turn up anyway of getting hold of a replacement. https://www.associatedelectrics.com/teamassociated/parts/details/6374-ASC6374-rear_stub_axle_with_roll_pin/. Any pointers on where I could find one please? Edit: I know the like...

Re: Getting my old RC10 to run on grass (or how to best raise the ride height?)
Success, my 1985ish RC10 runs on backyard grass! I wanted to post an update in case any other fathers of a certain age wanted to get their childhood RC10 in a condition to race their son's traxxas in their backyard. In summary I have spent far more money on trying to get this to run than I really sh...

Re: Getting my old RC10 to run on grass (or how to best raise the ride height?)
I am realistically not serious enough to keep cutting the grass when my son and I want to go out and race now and again so I want to get the car to a place where it will just sorta work. I wanted to post a couple of updated pics to show where things are at (thanks all for your help so far). I don't ...

Re: Getting my old RC10 to run on grass (or how to best raise the ride height?)
I got the JC racing hubs, the Schumacher tires and Andy's front arms, I cranked the suspension a little and I think the droop is ok. It now sails through the grass to begin with but then starts to slow up. The motor and ESC are really hot and the motor smells, it's an old red demon. I assume I now h...

Thanks, I ended up ordering the Schumacher full spikes. What do you mean by 'short gears' ?

Re: Getting my old RC10 to run on grass (or how to best raise the ride height?)
Thanks for all the help. I ordered the wheels from jc racing, but I have been spending far too long trying to find a set of tires with as large a diameter as possible. I am considering these for the backs https://www.amainhobbies.com/proline-sling-shot-2.2-1-10-rear-buggy-paddle-tires-2-xtr-pro10101...

Re: Getting my old RC10 to run on grass (or how to best raise the ride height?)
Thanks, i can try some of the larger tires that are mentioned and it would be nice to be able to choose from some of the more modern ones. From looking around the forum is this the best approach to fitting larger newer tires ? https://www.jcracingproducts.co.uk/wheels/rc10 Finally is it worth gettin...

Getting my old RC10 to run on grass (or how to best raise the ride height?)
I need a little help likely understanding how best to raise the ride height on my RC10 so that I can race my son with his new traxxas stampede in the back yard. I upgraded various parts a few years ago, when they were easier to get after the re-release, so I now have some of the jconcepts tires and ...
