RC-10 WOIN (without RC-10B3 transmisson)

[soniccj5]

Question.
What kind of rear grip will this car offer you.
I see that you dont have any toein in the rear just straigt tires.

It does have some toe in, I think it is the 1 degree mounts. But in it's last configuration with Bigjeepzz rear arms it had plenty of rear grip, even with the dynotech arms it had good rear grip.

Biggest problem I had with this build was forward grip, but after installing the A&L steering and grinding the dynotech arms to allow full lock it was much better. The RPM worlds tower should also help improve the front along with the Bigjeepzz arms.

Kinda happy with the paint job. Need to find a decal to cover up the front where they tape was not on well enough.



I think my next paint job I will try liquid mask.

Added some stickers and an RC-10 under the body.








Has to be the best version of this RC-10 WOIN to date! For those who do not want to go through all the build pages I have included my first two version of this same car below.



The black Bud body was fresh off my original RC-10.

Another VONATS is in the books and I could not be happier with the way my car handled. Unloaded on Sunday, about 15 minutes total time on the car since it was rebuilt before we went into the qualifier, or in my case extended practice. I did not place well, but I had a couple good laps and always had a certain JRX2 in my sight, although sometimes on the other side of the track .

This car along with my B4 will be heading to the JConcepts race in Fitchburg(5 minute commute) in October. I already heard another RC-10 will be making a showing, but I really think we could use a couple more , maybe even that JRX2 mentioned earlier. They run a 17.5 blinky class that I think will be perfect for these buggys.

sorry ed, me and my jrx2 are booked in october, unfortunatley no rc racing for me for most of the month, i've got weddings and other family stuff going on.

Would I be in trouble if I dyed a 2.25 which stealth?


Might be upgrading the slipper on my B4, so that would give me enough parts to upgrade to a b4 slipper on my RC-10, but I would need a 2.25 stealth.

Maybe the white contrast will look good..

Drilled out the B4 caster blocks to accept the RC-10 pins.

Just installed the re-release rear arm mounts. What a difference a new part makes!!! No more slop in my suspension!

Now I am thinking about picking up a RCCarbonworks chassis, but I am still on the fence.

[soniccj5]

Added a re-re bulk head.

[soniccj5]

Won an auction last night for a well used graphite chassis. Can't wait to get it and start the cleanup and modifications to make it fit my runner.

[soniccj5]

This is before I cut the front to fit the RC10T bulkhead.

I got almost everything together and noticed I need to make more room for the arms to clear. Had a full day of RC so it will have to wait.


Not sure if this will make it handle any better, but I always wanted a graphite chassis.

Ready to race.

[soniccj5]

Ran two packs through the RC-10 today and it felt great.

[soniccj5]

After a long day of open practice.



The car was handling great, and was much more enjoyable to drive on the damp track than the B4.

After replacing the rear a-arm mount(thanks Re-Re!).



Earlier I added the old B3 motor mount modifed to look like a B4 along with an A&L rear motor guard. 4

Opted out of the latest big race in my area(Short Course Showdown now with 1/10 buggys), but I hope to start getting some club racing soon.

your car looks great, what do you have it geared at with a 17.5 motor with a stealth tranny?
