I'm taking the shields off of the cheaper bearing transmission. I'm not going to mess with the transmission that has the ABEC 7 bearings. I'm using a pointy X-acto knife. It's not easy getting those shields off those small bearings. Hop I don't lose any fingers!

32 pitch spur!

I have three RC10 6 gear transmissions. The video is of the best one that spins the longest. 3 seconds. Someone once mentioned it could do 16 seconds. BS. I have ABEC 7 bearings through out plus the black delrin gears. The metals gears have been ground down. The case has been shaved down a little so...

Here is my finished RC10 restoration. I bought the car new back in the late 80's. It wasn't built to be a buggy. It was a NASCAR racer. That's what they were doing at the time. It was an asphalt car. When that ended it went in the closet for many years. Then I took it out and turned it into a monste...

That was some beautiful work!!

Is this the one? http://www.rc10talk.com/viewtopic.php?f=7&t=8834 That's the one Speed Racer!! Been looking all over for it! I don't know how you guys do your searches. I thought I did a pretty intensive search and cam up empty. I found more Kyoshsa stuff than anything else. Thanks! I do apprec...

https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/18134364/rc.pdf .pdf, enjoy! Thanks Lazer. I have never seen that article before. I printed it out and put it in my RC10 binder. The article I'm talking about has the case drilled out at the outdrives and has brass tubing inserted. It eliminates the middle non-fl...

Hi, does anyone have the complete article with photos of the Jim Halsey RC10 6 gear tranny
rebuild with the modifications? Thanks!

I just ordered ABEC 7 bearings from Boca Bearing. I have quite a few transmission parts so I'm going to build a new transmission with those new bearings. We'll see how it will spin then! I'll give an update in about 10 days. I'll display it with my restored RC10.

It won't spin no 16 seconds. But the outdrives alone without the gearing wouldn't spin 16 seconds either.

well, your not stuck using threaded rod. you could measure for the length you need and get some lunsford tierods. or, you could get the dubro 4-40 turnbuckles and cut them to the desired length. the dubros are threaded close to the hex. I just ordered the Lunsford tie rods. They seem cheaper now th...

Well here it is 6 years later and that 6 gear tranny is in my RC10 restore. I filed everything down to where everything was smooth. No binding or anything close. It is smooth!

How much of the car is paint and how much is decals? Those long stripes must be paint which I dread! I did order some new decals from someone in Great Britain who I guess specializes in RC remake decals. I've never seen the numbers as decals but assume they must be decals and not paint. I also saw o...
