25 YEARS OF THE RC10 (See page 1)

Never seen them ever! I know Reggie says that kit was built NIB, but I wonder if the front tires were swapped before the kit was built? Do we have any other proof from any other NIB kits with this front tire? I would love to know!

these are my old stock tires that came with my rc10 kit.

that was my car. i built it. they came in the kit.

but if you need more proof, here's a pic of erich's new from kit edinger (same as my old one).

Interesting! What were they called and who made them? AYK? Did AE run out of the other ones? I wonder ?

I will edit my post on the Edinger. Thanks for the update, but I sure would love to know more about these tires!

proline made them, but the proline name wasn't on the sidewall. you could also buy them separately as an optional tire in an associated package (don't remember the part number off hand). if you look in one of the parts/price list that came in the kits, you'll find them listed there.

the ones proline made to sell for themselves had proline on the sidewall.

Thanks for the info scr8p, this is exactly what we need! I will up date!

x2. A bit of experimentation and variation as far a the tires from the E factory makes sense. I remember that early on, few bothered to run the AYK rubber at all, and immediately went with the adapter rings and some Holiday Buggy type softer rear spikes, and a favorite Tamiya type front right out of the box. I still have my Good Years that I can't remember if I ever ran.

D Smith- you got Prolines at the rear too? Interesting

Hey Rod,
I just picked up a late Edinger (still rubber stamped box sides) that has those Pro-line fronts and "standard short arm era" rear spikes but with no "Team Associated" on the side walls.
Tires, solid spring cups, Edinger address motor and box are about the only signs that it is a 1985.

Here's the front Proline grooved tire in the bag part #6866 from my personal collection.

Great info guys, I never had a clue about them! I used the info on the Edinger post, thanks guys! This is just what I wanted, all info on the RC10's brought to light!

Hey Slotcarrod, I saw you mentioned about some boxes being Edinger but having Cadillac features well I have an Edinger 6010 box, label is glued on and has the ROAR and ORRCA Champion printed on the front but all my parts are all the features of Cadillac that you mentioned and the gold is that darker color. Was the kit I bought a transition that was in progress or what? Just so interested in this topic! Great Write-up!

Same here!..... Evidence points to a late 86 - early Cadillac car (parts price list as scanned on the previous page of this thread) But the Edinger addressed/Roar & ORRCA printed box has the glued-on printed label

The RC10 is just a fad, I can't see it being popular for much longer. 10 years, 15 tops. I seriously doubt it will make it to 50 years.

well who would of though it would make it this long. i mean my first rc10 was a b2 and now i am restoring a rc10 gold pan. you just never know what your going to do next. but as long as it is fun.

Edinger address on box with a glued label? Neat! I would say a very late Edinger for sure. I would love a picture of that label, box and car!

Heeeeeeere you go Rod!
