so here is my rc10t

it was really fun for 1 day, but i killed the tranny. i don't know if i am going to try and sell it, or keep it.... i don't know what is wrong with the tranny, but the spur spins, and the outdrives don't.

i did replace 1 rear drivecup/axle, it doesn't look like the otehr side as it has chamfered ends on it, but seems to work ok....

i bought this back in high school, 10 plus years ago, and it sat, until recently, when i tried my setup for my traxxas mini revo in it.... the mini revo is still in pieces, going to get rebuilt, that is my real baby....


here are the pics....

Sounds like the diff is shot- easy fix.

i should open it up and look inside....

would be cheaper to fix it than throw a new tranny at it....

it is the only 1 of my 3 rc's that is close to running......

i do have my daughter's wild fire though... trying to get that going for her again..... its a fast lane rc from toys r us..... it's huge foam tires seperated.... i have used a bottle of CA trying to fix them, and i need another bottle before i think they are good enough for use again



are parts still available for the rc10t tranny? or will i be trying to hunt down, rare, parts on ebay?

A lot of the parts are still available new. The 10T had a first gen Stealth trans - and it went unchanged for a really long time.

Can find an exploded view of the 10T with part numbers here --> http://www.teamassociated.com/pdf/cars_and_trucks/RC10T/Team/10t_old.pdf

Tower Hobbies (amongst others) should have most of those trans parts in stock -

agh! should i fix this thing or try to sell it?

out of my 3 RCs, this is probably the cheapest to fix......

here are my choices, ideally, would liek to do both... but......

the mini revo is my baby.... so that is staying

i have a tmaxx, and suck at gas -- so might keep it, but want to convert it to electric.... maybe

fix the rc10t or sell it... not too attached to it, but would be the cheapest/easiest to do.....

IDE keep the 10t over the mini revo any day. Take apart the trans and see how easy it is to fix and go from there.

still not sure where i am trying to go with this......

i went to the lhs today to get a set of connectors for a motor i sold.....

ended up walking out with a 1/18 animus sc

well..... there is no turning back now.... rc10t is sold
