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

The RC10 can become a money pit when changing over to 12mm hex wheels because of the differant wheel offset with the newer hex wheels. Understood, thanks. Given that tires are usually glued to wheels, do you guys end up reusing the wheels after the tires wear out or do you just buy new sets of whee...

If I want to put modern 2.2 wheels/tires on the classic RC10, are these the 12mm hex adapters that I would need? Or is there a better alternative? https://www.amainhobbies.com/team-associated-12mm-wheel-hex-set-4-asc91027/p203828?gclid=CjwKCAjw34n5BRA9EiwA2u9k33lXkrjRuKF3T7JiEgi8ZvDmVR-GEehgBIJfhJ_...

I appreciate everyone's continued help and advice!

If it turns out that the original motor is shot, do you have any suggestions for a replacement brushed motor that would be equivalent?

Yes, a couple zip ties will solve your steering problem (I use this trick on my runner cars) however be aware that this part is meant to function as a servo saver so you'll also want to replace your servo horn with a proper saver like one from Kimbrough. I agree, it is a very easy fix. :D http://ki...

So, you've just attached a couple small zip-ties on either end to firm things up? (just making sure I'm seeing it correctly). That's a surprisingly easy fix, thanks!

For reference, this is what I'm talking about - I made a short video of the steering issue:

Thanks guys, I now have a Hobbywing Quicrun 1060 on the way as well as some front nose brace tubes I found on Ebay. Looks like I'll just change the orientation of the battery tray and just use some double-stick tape so I don't need to drill any unnecessary holes (not that the pan is in such great co...

That’s a perfect car for a runner. I would put a modern 2.4 ghz radio but stick with a mild brush or brushless motor Thanks for the suggestions! Do you have a recommendation for what ESC I should get? I'd like to try to see if I can get the existing motor working. I think a simple ESC for brushed m...

Hi all, Back in the 80s/90s I had a Tamiya Frog and a friend of mine had splurged on the RC-10. Years later when he was cleaning out his garage he asked me if I wanted his RC-10 instead of tossing it out or selling it, and I said sure, why not. That was a long time ago, but now I have kids of my own...
