I bought this new in 1990 I think. It's an Rc10 team car in kit #6035. I have never raced, just enjoyed whoppin all the Tyco's. I would like to clean it up for my son and I, where should I start and where is the cheapest source for parts? Do Hobby Shops still carry wheels, tires, bodies and such that fit this style?
Neat car! I ALWAYS LOVED THE TEAM CARS. Parts are pretty hard to come by since most of them are discontinued. If you're patient you could find what ever you need, simply watch the online bid sites and watch the BST section here. Associated still makes a few odds and ends, but keep in mind it is a 20 year old car. I think you have two options, sell it to a collector for them to restore and buy your son a new RC with that money, or be patient and find all your parts you would need to rebuild it. What ever you choose have fun! Oh yeah 3rd option, you restore it and keep it and buy your son his own new RC!
Do you notice any handling differences between the RC10 graphite team car and the RC10 team car with tub chassis (both fitted with white nylon parts throughout)?
I haven't driven either yet. Been a while...greetings all :)

Here is one of my newest additions to my RC10 collection.
Got it from a buy now auction right off the bay. I think it is a nice modified car and I got the information that it was driven by a former Italien Team Associated driver.
I will only clean...

What was the reasoning back in the day for trimming down the chassis. Weight only?
weight was a factor but also being able to get the body down as low as possible helped airflow. You needed all the advantages you could get before the battery...
Hey, everyone. How's it going? I am new to the site and I just got back into using my RC10 Graphite Team Car after about 10+ years. I just rebuilt the whole car and it is in great shape. However, there are some problems I am having with the car....

The shaft and nut move in/out and up/down very slightly. I think this might be causing the spur gear to wobble. Are these normal tolerances? Or should the shaft not move at all? I'm thinking of putting in a new drive gear and shaft to see if it goes...
I want to introduce you my latest acquisition: an RC10 Team Car
I ordered a RC10 Re-release but I know exactly that car won't be the same as the good old rc10 tubs. So I decided to look for an old rc10 and one day after this decision I...
