Which shock kit for vintage RC10 Graphite build?

Quote

Post by CNA75 » Sat Jul 11, 2009 4:21 am

I'm considering fitting hard coated shocks to my RC10 graphite build - the ones which have grey bodies but what looks like black anodized shock caps. Do you guys usually use this kit for these purposes? http://67.199.85.166/main/productdetails.php?text=9315&category=3129.xxxxx , or are there others which are more truly vintage?

The "correct" ones are like these, the darker grey shocks were old stock--they got lighter anno
as time went on, you would need the .71 kit for the front, and the 1.32 for the rear with black
alum caps to be just right, and try to find the white nylon lower assembly

So those of you (us) with sealed vintage kits..... what do you do or tell yourself (other than the obvious depreciation) to keep from opening and building some of your old vintage kits? Like the sealed gold tubs, jrx2's, early tamiyas, etc..... Is...

I dont have a single nib kit. I use too but my gearhead brain kicks in. Along those lines I have a hard time keeping a shelf queen on the shelf. The only complete car I havent drove is my ltx40 vette. One break and its over for that little lady.

I remember when I found a shrinkwrapped original RC10 worlds kit and some people doubted it actually had a kit inside, people saying I should take it to the airport xray as it could be full of rocks - made me laugh!

Nice score on the graphite! Saw...

I'm looking at the parts to get an rc10 graphite together.
Looking at the 25 year thread and the manual I see the front shock tower is a 4 hole 6231, but the front shocks are listed as the 6449 listed as .56 on rc10.com.

Was there a running change...

Last post

the graphite Team car still had the 4 hole tower at first, so the graphite non team should have only had the 4 hole.
