How many versions of the RC10T were there?

thats great info on the arms thanks

My 7001 kit came with those early arms and boy were they fragile. The first revision wasn't much better. I think it was the 3rd or 4th trip to the parts counter when I finally got a set of RPM arms. I raced that truck for several years with the RPM arms, and that same set is still on the truck today. And, no, I never really learned how to drive without hitting stuff.

Speaking of fragile early parts, these were another problem area

These things are .070 ( 7001 1st-2nd ) and they loved to break as well, that might expain why I still have more than one set NIP

Since Paul brought the RPM arm thing up, it made me think about the differences in those arms as well The arms around 91-92 made by RPM had one mounting hole and an open center

The next version 92-96 ( white ) 96-present ( other ) had 2 mounting holes, and bracing in the center of the arm

The rears were un-changed other than color

Of course, there is still the ball cup differences, the other shock towers, the turn buckles etc

My truck still has the original paper-thin shock towers that came in the kit. How they survived, I have no idea. I was certainly upside down enough.

Here's my old truck all cleaned up in its final as-raced configuration. It has the B tub with both offset and inline battery box holes. Oh, there were some chassis differences, too. Right, Reggie?

Yup Early B stamp/Black A stamp chassis on the left, Later B stamp on the right-(Kinwald screws set into the battery holes for a better example)

Would you be able to know which model and variant came out on what year?

So a 7001 would never have had a" b "tub with inline holes?
