I struggle with the preorder. I like what they have done with it, don't get me wrong...but it is just a tribute (I'm not a fan of the shocks and slipper, and especially the wheels) so I don't know if I need just one or maybe two.
I was really hoping for .71 non threaded hard bodies but I was just being shelfish lmao
It's time to stand up to the bully. Support the companies that support the industry, not the ones that tear it down. Say no to Traxxas Factory Works website

I'm in no rush, I didn't pre-order a 6001...and I could get my hands on no less than 10 right this minute (and those are only the ones I know of) at regular price. Plus, I already have a capable RC10 CE race car But I will get one at some point, because cars wear out...and that is the cheapest way to build a RC10 race car and some Lunsford re-re-buckles
the RC10 they used to do the retooling belongs to Don in customer service. Associated didnt have a new untouched one around, Don had a new built form box never touched after that one. He just finally got the car back after they borrowed it like 2 years ago to start the retooling.

It wasn't a great setup anyway! It was just unique. I like unique and that's what it's all about, but a rear motor chassis with a drivetrain like that of a tamiya, 30 degree kickup....it just has a lot against it compared to a purpose built buggy. They may have made it into a few big races but I am willing to bet those drivers with a era correct true 4wd car would have been more competitive.
Again, don't get me wrong I love the conversions. They just aren't "all that"

Your right! My X4 MIP conversion was quickly shelved when I got my Yokomo! Not a bad kit but nothing compared to the Yokomo or dare I say... Kyosho cars at that time!

And a conversion that trys to overcome the 2wd design to make it more like a purpose built 4wd buggy changes the RC10 so much that it's almost unrecognizable as an RC10.
A little side project.
I’ve had this in a drawer for a while and decided to get it cleaned.
It’s quite impressive what a thorough clean can result in.
Boiling water.
Simple green.
Toothbrush and pipe cleaners.
Brass brush on the Dremel and...

Final piece added.
The correct RPM springs.
If you need a pair, just send an email to RPM. They still have a stash.
I've putting together an all-in-one kit for those that want to get their boxart rere Kinwald cars a little closer to the original, or for those who are looking to make a correct replica. The kit will contain:
1 - Front shock tower in 2.5mm 3k woven...

I kinda doubt it. Too high of a material cost and I doubt the demand is there to make it worthwhile.
I need some help remembering the details from back in the day. So I have an RPM kit still in the bags never opened and I just don't have any love for it as an RPM car. Does the RPM kit actually duplicate a certain one off car or are some of the...

yes, I had one of those too bitd, flipped the front around to put the tower in front, still have some of the og deck standoffs in my box. I never detailed it to be like masamis but that is how I am leaning. I guess it's just a matter of committing...
I was just wondering if anyone is still making these chassis kits, either the NIX91 or the Justin/Fred version? Maybe someone has a spare that they'd like to sell or trade?
Thanks in advance

Actually, as another option, if you order a full set of 91 Stealth parts (Niki's for example) and this book by Steve Husting (the photos provide an excellent reference), you have pretty much everything needed to design your own chassis plates. It's...
Hi there, I recently inherited a Team Associated RC10 Worlds Car buggy from a recently deceased cousin. The car is unfortunately in a damaged state, and I would very much like to get it repaired to full working order due to the centimental value of...

has the parts you need. when you go to their site, in the left hand column, click on the r/c car. then click on associated. next, click on rc10 rpm, and there will be the front tower. if you click on rc10 (early models), in there will be the rear...
