[wildpony67]

hey guys i'm really not familiar with this sort of thing but my 5 year old is driving me insane haha. i'm curious about what i just picked up off of ebay and if anyone can help me out with figuring the exact model and what else i need or should get for this buggy would be amazing. i appreciate any and all help i can get. thanks guys. well i just tried to upload a picture and it says the file is too big so i'm guessing i need help in order to get help.

Resize the picture so that it is no bigger than 256k and retry uploading. Another way would be to put pictures on Photobucket and then copy the url (link) and use the function on top of the input area to insert the link.

RC10 Buggy! Congratulations!

If for a runner, that you plan to run and have fun with:
Looks like a A chassis , with new size front wheels and tires but with old wheels and tires in the back (diameter difference from front to rear is big, for traction the new larger dia. rear tires have more traction as the contact patch is larger as well as the tire compounds are better)
Looks like you need an electronic speed control, battery and make sure the transmitter works with that radio gear (need a frequency crystal). It has the old standard 6 gear trnsmission.

!EDIT! I stand corrected. I saw the empty holes and thought they were for the stealth transmission. My bad.

the chassis is actually stamped A under the motor i have older front wheels that were on it but mix matched i have a ton of other parts i'll put up the pics in five minutes you guys can check that stuff out too. thanks for the help already i really appreciate it!!!!

ok i added a few pics of the bags of parts i have. i would need to know exact things to buy as this hobby is completely new to me. thank you so much in advance. this is amazing!!

Well my instructions weren't very good but you did manage to post a link to your flickr site. This is just the start there is plenty of information on this site to help you through the rebirth of your RC10.

[wildpony67]

your instructions were perfectly clear i just took the easiest route for me to get help as i'm not very smart when it comes to these cars. those bags are loaded with parts i just have no containers to seperate them in so it would be easier to see and i didn't want to just let them lay loose. can anyone tell me if this is a ce model or anything specific like that? i only ask cause i know there are slight but many differences wtihin the models.

CE wheels but it is A chassis with 6 gear tranny so that makes it the 1st generation RC10, you have the original wheels on rear didn't bother to look to see if you had the fronts, I did see the CE front and rear wheels and tires.

Very nice buy, looks like you got some extras to go with it. You have a spare 6 gear transmission that looks like new, and plenty of new looking spares. Nice car!

[wildpony67]

thanks guys i paid $90 including shipping from ebay. so i know you guys said i need a few things to finish it up, does anyone have any suggestions as to what exact parts i should use? like i said this is a whole new thing to me i've never done anything with rc's before and the closest thing i've owned is slot cars.

Was just curious what all that redish brown stuff is on the a arms of the car? None of my cars have that type of residue on them....

[wildpony67]

i'm not sure whats going on with the redish brown stains. i have since added an esc but have realized i need a new radio and receiver to make it work, i hope thats all i need.

in the mean time i picked up this rc10gt for free everything works but i have yet to try to start the motor.
