RC10Talk - The Net's Largest Vintage R/C Community

Here's a couple of photos I ran across from the 1984 IFMAR Worlds in Denmark. Gene and Roger from Associated brought a prototype of the RC10 to display at the race. I was so busy racing that I didn't pay much attention, but it looks like it's probably close to a production version, sporting a Curtis Husting paint job. I seem to remember that the car got lost or stolen at the event, I'm not sure if they ever found it.

You guys know more about these than I do, enjoy the pics!

this is an article of that car from a uk mag. looks like they took the pics while at the 84 worlds.

Goodyear AYK tires- I also just realized that is an MRP Pro-110 Body!

edit--thanks longboard, I majorly misspoke

that buggy is sex. i could never get over that nose plate. i love the round edges and countersunk screws.

you got it right kent. it is the oldest rc10. more like our daddy of our own rc10's.

Hard to tell from the pics but I bet its a one piece chassis.

In the Radio Race Car article it looks like it was a 2 piece chassis.

Are those shocks that are plain aluminum hard to find if they are like on the picture of the edinger box?

they're just bare aluminum rc10 shocks.

Not if you own a can of Easy Off

Great pics Kent! Thanks!

Duh Reg! I thought you knew that.

Too early for my knowledge ( which is is really Temple's anyway ) Keep in mind, I didn't start racing until 1991 you old folks!

From the article it seems those superb shockers never developed.
