is it a rc10b graphite?

Post by slim_chance »

Ok this is my vintage rc10 graphite. Question is what version is it? When I bought it used it was being used as a widebody road car. I ran it with a widebody 65 mustang on asphalt tracks with a tekkin speed star and a 10 turn triple back in the late 90's it was a very competitive car in the modified class. Now after years of storage I am thinking of bringing it back to life in another incarnation. Either a buggy a small monster truck kinda like a stampede, or crazier still an attempt at a short course truck. My question is are there parts like arms and cvd's still available for this to build any of these in the U.S.? I put on a set of rear arms that are for a stadium truck but I don't remember what one because it was back in 99 I think. Any help on bringing this one back to life will be appreciated.

It's a 6030 RC10 graphite car, with a 6 gear trans- mccalister front lowering kit, RC10t rear shock tower and RC10B3 rear arms or 10t rear arms ( didn't look very hard )

Wow! So the front shock mount is aftermarket no wonder I could not find any pics of it. I think the rear arms are b3 arms. So now are there parts avilable for it? And since its a very raced chassis I don't think I am building a shelf queen. I am really considering a short course truck. But if that don't work I got more options. Ok and thanks

Crazy update on the rc10 graphite I had sent pics of it over to associated and they of course identified it as a rc10 graphite converted for road. Here is the crazy part. They want to trade for it. I didn't think it was worth much. So now I have 2 questions should I trade it? and if I do what should I go for?

Nevermind it was someone off of another forum emailing me about it. I forgot I posted it there. Not as exciting as an AE guy actually wanting it. But the question remains is it worth something or should I keep it and build what I want?

We don't access what things are worth here and the market is very inconsistent anyway- but as a restorable buggy, there isn't much to work with there-

Yeah I see what you are saying. I think I will just build what I want out of it. I wish I could find all the original rear parts for it that I had before.

So one question still remains is there any where I can get rear suspention parts? I have slipper clutch spur and a pinion for it. All I need for it is rear arms and cvd's I have shocks and can fab body mounts for it out of the collection of parts I have.

EBay is your best bet, as that car was produced in 1989 :wink:
