Hi
I just found this site... Great. I am am a long time RC10 fan (I have 2 with Sassis Chassis conversions and I am begining to restore a RC10T).
I am wondering how easy it would be to build a buggy which would be a composite of many models. I like the Sassis chassis (I have an extra) and I'd like to have an all alu buggy. I want to drive it... I don't want a museum specimen... and I don't want to take a loan to buy my parts...
I know a lot of the RC10GT alloy parts will fit (like the Team Blue Star parts). What about B3/B4 Suspension arms? Is it the same geometry as the old gold tub buggy? Same mounting holes? What about the new Stealth tranny? I know it is not a direct fit but assuming I drill the holes am I going to end up with problems like dog boes too long owr whatever?
Anyone here has done something like that?
Any suggestions/photos would be greeeeaaaatly appreciated.
well, i know it is possible to make anything you can think of. but an org. rc10, compared to a b2, b3, and the b4, is a completely different animal. everything you asked about, geometry, mounting points, etc., are different.
Yeah I know it... I actually have that tube frame RC10 as my desktop picture... I took it form Inet Rc's site. It's sweet. I'm dying for finding one of those chassis...
here's a couple of comparison pics. i used a rc10, rc10t, and a t3. the nose plate and rear chassis plate is the same between a b2, b3, and the t3. hope these help.................

the second pic is the rear end of the t3. i could be wrong, but as far as i know, the b2 had a composite chassis. the t2 had an aluminum tub type chassis that was different from an original one.
someone correct me if i'm wrong.......................
i'm not totally sure. i know the t3 chassis is about a 1/2" longer than the b2 and b3. but, i don't know if the t2 is the same lenght as a t3. the t2 could be the same as the b2 and b3.

I am going to be doing a Monster Energy themed paint job for my B4 soon and found some nice bodies on Tower Hobbies. These bodies, however, are made for the original RC10(I think). Will they fit, with little or no modifications, on my B4?...

Yea, that's what I was thinking. I researched the dimensions on the older bodies and the newer B4 bodies and the older ones are a little longer and a little wider. I personally think it will look a little cooler with a wider body 8)
Hey guys, I've been checking out the forum since I started rebuilding my 1986ish A stamp RC10 last year. I'm not totally sure on the date, but I know I purchased it new when I was a underclassmen in high school, so that should put it around the 86...

The universals came standard on my circa 1989 RC10CE Graphite.
The universals in my opinion were FAR superior to the CVDs. I hate how you have to loctite it, then grease it...
All I did with my universal was dunk them in motor spray bath and re...
I just found this forum the other day and I have some questions about restoring my rc10 team car. I bought it new in about 91 or 92 and ran it and raced locally for about 5 years. It's been sitting ever since about 1997. I want to put some new...

I just noticed that my rear axles are pretty worn. I guess I'll find some new axles and hubs and run the newer rims
Did the RC10 Champ Edition ever come out of the box with black plastic? I've got one equipped with the stealth tranny, B stamping chassis, and the box tag on the side says that is the tranny that was put in the kit.
Also, does anyone know where I...

The last few years of CE kits had black plastic. All had the stealth trans after 1992. There's a pic around somewhere of the box art body...kinda ugly imo. I'm pretty sure it's in the back of the early CE manual.
