RC10 with RPM Worlds Conversion

Post by **qctires** » Sat Oct 21, 2006 2:19 am

I received this from the mailman today. I have a problem with the bell crank thou. I need the one for an RC10 either stock or aftermarket part will work for me. Used ok. And a rear shock tower to go with that. And also, I'll be needding a balack tub. The previous owner of this poor little thing sand blasted the chassis so now it looks awful.

Not bad isn't it. The MIP rear shocks are working smoothly as well. This car will surely see the tracks and I'll be racing it.

Nice find qctires... I had my eye on that auction too. My best ebay deals usually come with bad pictures. If I recall, there was only one fuzzy picture for this auction. I bet the cvds were a nice surprise.

that chsassis could look very nice after sanding and polishing it... if you won't use it, I could be interested

Actually, I am really planning to use my TQ10 chassis and just cut the front end to install the RC10T nose plate. I think it will look even better, all being black in color. What ya think?
I will glass blast the chassis tomorrow and see how it looks.

cutting a TQ10 chassis

that sounds a little bit "heretic" to me

Not even sure if this is a TQ10 chassis.

Hey qctires, you got two really nice platforms there. I'd just make two runners out of them. No need for any hack or slash'in or combining them, but it's all good!

Too late.

It's not in good shape any way. The part where the bend was on the nose was worn to almost half it's thickness.

I would just leave the nose tubes off. The chassis and front plate screwed together should be sturdy enough.

It will need a bit of help from the tubes beacause somehow, it has a bit of movement. The wholem chassis will be flexing and the way I see it, it even needs some support on the rear bulkhead as well.
This car will see soil and a bit of racing and will not be on the shelf. I have my B4 ready but I want to see how the old one will fair.

Hey qctires where do you run your cars? Socal? HotRod? Revalation, Pegasus? I've ran my B4/T4 at all these places, but I'll only run my old RC10's at Socal, as their are no 1/8 scale gas cars to get hacked by, seriously!

Revelayion and Pegasus. I live close to the Sun Valley track but I don't feel confortable being there. Hot Rod, tried it twice last summer, couldn't stand the heat. And no shade nor chairs. The best still is Revelation. Just make sure you mlet the 8th scales go by.
