You're probably working on the wrong RC10 The one thing I can say about the RC10 is that there are so many ways to build it. You can do so many things with all of the different after market parts. Unfortunately, the losi works well out of the box...how boring.

Well I think I have the makeings of a nice car? I have a stealth, carbon fiber brace, NIP RPM arms, world wheels/ new Yok tires, I dyed the small parts black because they were to far gone to whiten up and the arms are black but I cant seem to find a nice chassis to start with? my powder
coater is draging his feet on getting the chassis I have done I am looseing intrest?

I know nothing about Kyosho's, So What other cars are close to this one or share this platform? I want to order turnbuckles and bearings? I cant find anything on Ebay for this car??

Rick, i have Ultimas and Optimas but they really don't compare to the Pro-X. It really has more in common with the Losis or B3's as far as I can tell. I can't really speak for other Kyoshos since i haven't owned any others.

The Pro-X is really unique. It doesn't share any parts with any other Kyosho's other than the Pro-ST (truck version). Kyosho didn't milk it like they did with the Ultima series (Turbos, II, Pro, Outrage, Tracker, Scale series, etc.). Ultima parts are everywhere.

Since it wasn't very popular and didn't share parts, everything is really rare. It's like the Triumph, though even more rare. I found a bunch of parts at a hobby store in Phoenix about a year ago. I went back a few weeks ago, and they were gone.

Turnbuckles and bearings are general enough not to be an issue. Yokomo has a nice range of metris turnbuckles; going up per about 2 mm in length and sold in sets of 2; perfect if you just want to buy what you need rather than a full set for some car you don't own. Bearings; doesn't acer do metric?
For other parts: there was a stadium truck version; both in electric and nitro. Those share some parts

Thanks But I want to stay with Kyosho since its New If I build it I want it all new stock? will see its, listed on EBay it might sell?

So you want to know which car uses the same turnbuckles and bearings?
For the bearings; probably about every other kyosho car.
For the turnbuckles... in the options section of the part list; which partnr do they have?

it doesnt? that was the first place I looked?

Were the turnbuckles standard on the initial version? In that case they would not appear in the option part of the list but in the standard part list. (It's pretty safe to assume they did not print different manuals when the sports version was released)

its a generic manual for both it says team this part sport this part, it has numbers but they dont come up on Ebay, I was looking for a bearing an turnbuckle set?

I found these part numbers for the turnbuckles.

W-5666 (front turnbuckles for steering and upper link)
W-5665 (rear turnbuckles)

thanks but who makes them? and were did you find them. this is why I never bought anything Kyosho before they are hard to find parts for????

These are Kyosho parts. Yes, they are hard to find but at least you know what p/ns you need. This is from the manual. Most Kyosho option parts of that era have a "W" prefix. There's some on ebay right now.

Hey i had a pro x and the turn buckles were made of aluminum they would break easy. im not sure if the hop ups were aluminum or not
