the brace that goes from the chassis to the back of the motor plate. i'll have to get a pic of that area, but if you look closely at the one pic with the chassis in it, you can see they're both of to the one side.
scr8p, i checked mine and all 3 of my rpm buggies are the same way with the shifted rear motor guard.
i never noticed it when putting them together, so everything fits like it should, which is kinda odd... you would assume with it that far off the motor plate aqnd tranny wouldnt line up at all. but everything goes together real nice on them, so it may just be something in the rpm design. ?
regardless, i would put it all together first before you try to re-drill and all that.
thanks for the info on your buggies, hoopty. it really doesn't make sense that everything would line up. i was gonna toss a trans in it, and see where the brace ended up. just haven't gotten around to it. i hope it works out, because i really don't want to alter the chassis.
On the subject of transmission holes not lining up and not wanting to drill. I have an MIP stealth tranny and the mounting holes don't line up on the graphite chassis I have (unknown maker). So my question is, does the pre-stealth RC10, stealth RC10 and the MIP stealth all have different mounting holes or what should I be looking for to determine which tranny should go on my chassis???
I only have MIP tranny's so I don't have any reference material. Sorry if this is slightly off topic.
The MIP pre-stealth trans has holes that bolt up similar to the orginal 6-gear trans. The MIP stealth has holes similar to the rc10 stealth trans as seen in the rear chassis pick that scr8p posted above. So, the screws used and spacing are different between the two MIP transmissions. However, if comparing the RC10 stealth and MIP stealth, I think the MIP stealth angles the motor plate a little more changing the mounting holes for rear motor guard to motor plate area.
Hello all! I recently acquired a RPM chassis and can't decide how to proceed with her build. Do I go all RPM? What color arms? Is there any other all RPM RC10's? If so PLEASE share, I'd like to see them. If not, I would really like to get some ideas...

Ill have some pictures up in a few hours, but i got my RC10 RPM Black Molded Chassis in the mail today, only ran once it looks like, real shelf queen, just replacing some rusty screws right now.
On the RPM From Bulkhead, there are 2 cutouts, are...

i never knew these were the jrx tubes either lol, being a associated guy myself forever.
thanks for the compliments on the car, i saw it for sale on hobbytalk really cheap and had to get it for the price. always loved these chasis and i talked to a...
This is one of my current projects, coming along nicely I think but not yet finished.
I would like to use an RPM transmission case, but that will require some work on the housing to make it fit....

How did these compare to the tubs and graphite chassis on the racetrack?
Really depended on the track...the buggy was designed off of the associated worlds version and was well suited for rough and loose tracks common at that time. I raced for RPM...
My plan is to take this RPM worlds conversion, clean it up and combine it with a 91 Detroit Worlds chassis to create a 2121 UK Revival entry. I think they should combine pretty seamlessly, am I right?

Nix91 is very different from the rpm worlds. You are better off getting the factory works chassis set. All your stuff will fit on it nicely.
i couldn't find the bin button fast enough.
