chassis parts are supposed to be made in the US of A... obviously seems packaged in Asia though!

Motor Gearing:

before to build up ur new RC10.
must to bought the BEARING for this kit.
cause the kit just come withe the BUSHING.

All good info thanks So these are "stock" top loaders!

I just ordered this set last night:
http://www.ebay.com/itm/NEW-Deluxe-Full-Bearing-Kit-Vintage-Gold-Pan-RC10-RubberSealed-/300978936372
Looks like a good set. Avid R/C doesn't have all the bearings in stock right now, and they aren't rubber sealed. Boca Bearings has metal shield kits for $16, and Green Seals or Ultra Seals for $31 and $38, but none of the sets include the larger 3/8" x 5/8" outdrive bearings. Those are at least $7 each for the Green Seal bearings.

I think I'll leave out the unflanged 3/16" x 5/16" bearings and use some kind of spacer instead.

Manual and setup sheet in PDF:

At this point I have read it so many times I could probably build the car without using the manual LOL

I printed the manual out as soon as it was available
and I've read it and flipped through it every day sins

Dubro has parts for the sway bar. No sure on wire size . I think it was just 1/16 piano wire. The templet for bending the wire is in the old manual. Looks like the front arms are set up for the front sway bar . The rear set up you still have to drill the rear arms for the ball stud.

Finally, some new tires for the jellybean wheels!

The plan is to have the 'halsey' ad alloy jellybean covers & knockoffs JUST after my kit arrives, so I can verify everything. I can't WAIT! Chris REC

Does anyone know if the gold/green #6281 8-32 x 7/8 screws will be available once the kit is released? I've had to use these darn blue screws in a few of my builds and they just don't match.
