This is a tribute to the great line of RC10 buggies produced since 1984-2009 (RC10 - RC10B4). This is a work in progress. It will take some time and help from fellow members, as we all learn new things about the different versions. So please be...

Question I haven't found a firm answer for... it seems some RC10's have much whiter Nylon than others. I'm not talking about dirt or oxidation/aging etc.. just simply as they came some cars had much whiter nylon. I know this because I was fortunate...
I've got my newly aquired RC10 up to a semi decent state,now,but I'm scratching my head regarding the battery box.
I know the 'A' stamped cars,like mine,had the battery mounted sideways across the chassis,but I want to mount it vertically-using what...

I hope you are not chopping up decent white battery cups :!:
right now I'm using a set that have the ends cut off-- it requires using Velcro on the bottom to keep it from sliding out of the boxes... :?
Here is an old video I found tonight of myself and a friend bashing around. I am driving the Hardees Mid engine Rc-10. and sporting the cool leather jacket. My friend is running his Jrx2.
My time line may be off a little but I will try my best to keep in check.
I was living in Dallas Ft area in 83-84 and was racing a frog at the local tracks. Then I seen the RC-10 for the first time. Had to have one! OK this is where the time...
I hope that this can be stickied here to the top so it isn't lost. I came across the DVD series sent to me as a gift from Gene. Here are some pics to start my scan contributions to the history of this fantastic car and sport.

I say the more images we can get of this gem the better. You can never have enough of The Original. Thanks Ruffy. :D
I now have all the parts need to complete a really good replica of this car, but for the body, I need more different view of it to identify all the stickers...
So, if you could help me, you're welcome !

I am exited to see the project. This car was my favorite of this era. I set my car up as close as possible to this car and it handled great. Make sure you take some good pics and post them up. Good luck, I will look around to see what I can find. :)
Have been away from AE for a while, but I have been thinking about getting a Gold Pan project started. I am just curious as to what the difference between all the different stampings of the Gold Pan chassis, and is there a particular one to have?

Oh its not that big of a deal. I was just wondering because as far as I'm aware there was never a factory A stamp black tub with Stealth holes. I wanted to see if I was right in thinking that.
Anyone knows when was the last big race Associated ran the tub chassis RC10? I know the Proto of the B2 was ran in ’95 worlds but I was wandering the moment when the team put down the tub and never look back again.
thanks, :)

95-96 was the last of the production CE, I think the team drivers stopped right after the worlds 95
My Graphite runner is in desprate need for new shocks as they are beyond help.

Yes, they are Hotshot tires. Yeah, I found this one on craigslist. The picture was tiny but it looked like the parts were white and the price was right so I took a chance. I think it paid off well. :mrgreen:

I too like seeing crazy compilations of different buggies to come up with a functional masterpiece. I am wondering how the suspension will handle...I guess that depends on weight distribution too. I like the rear suspension setup, looks cool.
I built this rc 10 out of stuff I had lying around and tried to keep it old school with some performance upgrades since it isn't a shelf queen I wanted it dependable. About the only modern upgrade is the rpm rod end cups since they hold way better...

they are fun to drive and work well and pretty durable. I also think they can look pretty scale and thats what I want to work on more with this one.
This car is technically my first RC10 which was at one time a TQ10. I think the only thing actually left from that car is the tranny. It has been thru I'd say 10 conversions since I bought 20+ years ago. I hadn't wrenched on it in a year or so and...

Sorry, just eager and waiting for a response about access to bst forums. Its like waiting in line to get into a great club, you will get in, eventually.
I haven't built one of these since I was 16-this is a later kit than I had when I was a kid, it had an update bulletin in the box and black servo horns, servo posts, 3 hole rear arms where mine only had 2 and holes drilled in the chassis for a MSC...
