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

I built this RC 10 in the early 90’s while I was working at RC Car Action mag. Dig it out the other day. Had Tekin 410k esc. Carbon fiber tub chassis. Anodized old style shock bodies from Associated. Reedy motor. Did an article about it but don’t have the issues around.

[/quote] Not sure but the enhancement kit might be for the truck... [/quote] What are the signs it is for the truck? Still researching info on these. I am in love with it. [/quote] The version designed for the car has a short steering arm, the truck version has a longer steering arm. This is an exam...

How did these compare to the tubs and graphite chassis on the racetrack? Really depended on the track...the buggy was designed off of the associated worlds version and was well suited for rough and loose tracks common at that time. I raced for RPM and was very successful with the car racing stock a...

This is the place to discus the: "Ultimate Vintage Brushed Motor Reference Guide" For cleanliness and clarity, it was decided to no longer allow posts to be made in the actual topic itself. The discussion regarding it can be made here instead in this spin-off thread. This also serves as th...

Dats a whole lota rare nip parts your working with, this things gunna be pretty sweet
Those Trinity shocks are neeeew !

Here is my first successful paint job with the new airbrush. The first body was a mess, as I did only two coats of liquid mask and it was a mother to peel off.

Unless this is just going to sit on a shelf, re-anodizing is the only good option.

Standard bore springs already rub the shock bodies and the additional thickness of paint or coatings will only make it worse.

Finally scored a Race Prep motor for the case. Listed as used but it's never been soldered

Thanks guys! Heading out to the race this morning, so I figured I'd get the pre-battle pics up. I don't know what happened to a few of them (not centered), but didn't have time to retake them the other day. 20230906_081638.jpg 20230906_081708.jpg 20230906_081729.jpg 20230906_081747.jpg 20230906_0818...

Fantastic, love me some CC Worlds builds.
Keep it coming

That car looks great with many high-end race parts. I can’t wait for this build

Annoyingly, CRC has revised their e-clips package from (100) for $8.49 to (10) for $3.99 but kept the same part number without telling ant of the sellers like Amain. The e-clips never seem to come in that gold color, so that really wasn't a change. That false advertising has been happening for a whi...

Finally got some done on the graphite tub.
A&L steering rack with some Composite Craft Teflon tape underneath and the mighty Schumacher SACS active caster system U1617A for the RC10

Got a lucky bargain eBay find, finally arrived today and looks like it's in great shape. Chassis has some scratches but not bad. Apparently stopped playing with it because they upgraded the bellcranks and didn't have linkage to fit You should probably refer to the manual for proper wing installatio...

It irritates me when someone asks a question on a forum and someone replies "Google it" or "look on eBay" or "search on here" or some-such. If you don't have an actual answer, link, or something meaningful, don't post a non-help response. While I don't disagree, when i...
