Re: 1992 RC10 CE Tires/wheels? Motor?

Seeing that it is in fact a 6 gear tranny, I am starting to think it is a year 1990. The stealth tranny did not come out until 1992. Does that make sense? Any recommendation on a brand motor to use or will any 27 turn motor work? Thanks again.

If it is a CE I would just switch to the Stealth tranny. Most of the parts for the stealth are still available. Are there 4 unused holes where your tranny bolts to the chassis?

You will want to see what shock caps you have, and the front tower to determine the rest of the parts

Looking from the bottom of the chassis, no, I don't think so. All the bolt holes, are being used....

Looking at the 2 pictures above, it is definitely the early 6 gear CE Early 89' -

There are a few variations of that car, ranging form the 4 hole front tower to the 6 hole, the best thing to do would be to post pics and then go from there. And the 6 gear was produced until late 91'

I thought the OP would also like to know that lower "turn" motors are more powerful. So a 19 turn is stronger/faster than a 27 turn. It was implied but I thought I'd spell it out for the OP.

being as though you have a 6 gear, i'd stay in the 27 turn stock motor range, maybe a 19 turn. no sense in grenading it if there's nothing wrong with it.

REALLY?! Oh oh... What should I look for in the transmission if I ran a lower turn motor. Something like a 10 turn double Oval Racing motor. I ran that for a couple of years until I melted the motor down. :?

I think we should see the bottom of the chassis before we go any farther with suggestions.

6 gears don't hold up well with modern motors/electronics!
