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

Hello from the UK

I bought this RC10 in about 1990 ish

But never knew which RC10 it is, It has Black hardware and a lightened Chassis

I have had to replace some of the parks with White over the years but very interested in restoring it

Happy to be inlightened

looks like it may have been an earlier cadillac addressed car, but really could be anything. it is wearing parts that were more than likely dyed black, and someone who was very good at working with metal did a nice job swiss-cheesing that chassis.

cadillac addressed car ??

What was one of those ?

The milling is first class everthing is inch/mm purfect hence i thought it may be from the factory

check out slotcarrods sticky here, it explains the evolution of the RC10, you can figure out what parts came from what timeframe of production over the life of the gold tub.

welcome to the site, and be sure to search and read and enjoy!!!

the chassis would have been nothing ever offered from the factory to the public, so as I said, some skilled person did the machining.

Really cool car! The reference to the "Caddilac" here is our dating slang to help identify some of the variations in the car over the production span ( although it looks like an edinger to me )
but what it looks like is an outstanding period correct old race car! I love the electronics ( I have one of those Futaba micro rec'r ) and the early ESC. Super car!!

Well mate

I seems a mix to put it bluntly

The colour of the tub points to a Edinger

The sterring set up looks like a Cadillac but mines is Screw rather than ball socket.

Will never know what chassis Stamp as the slot goes right through where the stamp would of been

I bought is Second Hand back then and raced it locally and looking at the Kit He spent some mony on it, the reicver being tiny

My feeling is strip and rebuild/renew where needed

Is it worth as i have some where the gear box with a stelth ?

Thanks all

Giz

i dont know but i want that chassis i love custom rc10 chassis and i want this one... i know i would be the only one to want something like this but its awesome... if you decide to get replace the chassis let me know please???

i dont think you can get a stealth in there, the slot below the tranny may interfere with the new holes it needs to bolt on.

I really like the machining/chopping of the chassis, it is a good job. Is the inside of the tub lined with clear lexan/plastic?

and vintage88 beat me to it...I like it, very unique and eye catching.

yup..... no way a stealth is mounting to that chassis.

the more i look at that bass-ackwards steering set up, i like it too....

he may be willing to send it to one of our resident machinest so we can all have one

Get a mip tranny for it.It uses the same holes as the sixgear tranny.DON

Yep she has a lexan inner linner, from memory I bought it back in 87/88 and I think I pimped the cat for it !

I will start the strip, re die of the White parts to black and new screws where needed I will post up some of my other cars later but.I guess with the interest it well worth saving

Giz

Nice, you know I was looking at some old threads to research for my build like whitening the plastics and cutting down the chassis. I was thinking basically what your tub is. We used to drill ours out to make them lighter. Usually just round holes. But on one of the threads, I got to thinking if I did some artful holes. Thanks for posting this build up as you've given me more ideas.

Well guess what i found

The Second pic is the Manuals for My Car (Edinger), including the Speed controler, its "The Laser ComFet Bug By Glyn Pegler" 90amps with Braking and Reverse

Also the Manual for the Motor "Twister" (16 Tripple me thinks)

But also found in the Draw to add confusion is the the other Manuals i collected, Cadillac and Team Car

O what Fun
