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

Hey Guys! I've been updating some cars lately and I have a question. Originally, I built my RC10 Tekin conversion without the active rear suspension. I did that because at the time, I didn't have any long rear hinge pins. Fast forward 15 years and I've acquired several basket case RC10s and a few se...

I also have original decals. It's as orange as orange gets.

I'd like to order a body set. I have an NIB RB5 in my closet and this body would be perfect for getting a hopped-up Dirt Master.

Has anyone ordered one or plan to order one?

When I restored my Turbo Ultima a billion years ago now, I remember remembering that I had to buy the motor guard separately AND I wore out the final pinion which was replaced with the hard version. So the list that radioactivity posted is correct. Later, I added the W5005 adjustable turnbuckles. I ...

This is a pretty cool car. Excellent work with the paint and restoration. I've ordered MCI decals in the past and they've been just a couple of hairs too large. If you decide to upgrade the shocks, the Kyosho golds are the best. Stay away from the platinum shocks. They are hard to tune and finding n...

I think these turnbuckles are kinda fat. Looks like they may be 6-32 or 6-40 threads.

Thanks guys! So, a car with a stealth transmission is fine. Funny thing about my Tecnacraft misspelling, in my mind I'm typing it correctly but my hands are throwing in the H. What is the suggested ball end to use with these?

What are the appropriate years to combine an RC10 and a set of Technacraft turnbuckles?

Again, I'm late with input but yeah, a box art Turbo Ultima is white and orange. I'm not sure why this is a thing suddenly. Is someone making incorrect decals? I purchased a Turbo Ultima brand new in 1987 and I still have the box somewhere.

What I've done instead of buying a whole set of 3/16 CVDs is just swap out the 1/4 axle with a 3/16 and reuse the rest of the 1/4 cvd parts.

Did everyone who ordered back in the summer get their Cougar? I got mine last week.

Yes. I didn't know how to describe it but you can see it in the picture pretty good.

Hey guys,

I have a nose plate that is in pretty good shape. Typical arc scratches from the steering bellcrank and the front has a bit of a wave to it. How are you guys bending it back into the correct position without leaving marks or making things worse?

Very nice! I just recently purchased an open box RB5 for a nice price. It was only missing the transmission tray. The other cool part is I was able to source a sword body for $6!
