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

My name is Jeff and I’m addicted to Vintage Gold Pan RC10’s and old Team Associated Nitros.

Congrats. That is one of the hardest things to do. I know, I've been trying. Just don't stop trying. I honestly bet I tried to quit probably 100+ times, I mean serious tries and not just little well I should stop types, but serious "I need to quit and this is it" type tries. I tried every...

My weird tip is to chew on a rubber grape. Like the kind that came in those plastic fruit bowls when we were kids. Gum is too soft, but I found chewing on the hard rubber grapes really helped me. I needed something I could take the aggression out on... :lol: Not real sure where you can find such a t...

https://www.rc10talk.com/viewtopic.php?f=35&t=13059 Cadillac isn't a type of car, it was the name of the street that it was produced on. Most RC10's through the B3 (?) were produced on Cadillac ave. The white idle gears indicate that it (or they) is an earlier model, however they were still prod...

These cars were around for a long time, so parts could have easily been changed. But from what I see, I want to say ~87-88. That is the newer style msc but the rear bulkhead uses the long wing tubes. I think that the rear shock tower is supposed to be a single hole version. It could be one from a ne...

A short arm car should only have one hole per side for shock mounting. It could be a newer tower or it could have been modified at some point.

All of my older ones have been drilled for additional holes as well, its very common.

Later short arm cars started to get "updates" like the 2 hole rear tower and even the 2nd series, short wing tube rear bulkheads. Shortly before the CE came out.

Here goes another XX build. This is a new genuine Kinwald Edition XX. I am building it as a shelfer with plenty of tasty upgrades from Trinity, MIP, HG, and Lunsford.

I can't seem to get enough of these XX buggies.

Just a quick intro. Sounds like many others in here, I had an RC as a kid and now getting back into it as an adult. Ive got a few cars from old, and a couple new, as well as a build I'm working on.
I'm sure there will be many questions to come but I think I've found a great place to ask them.

I was having issues with an eBay purchase and was able to get this from Traxxas customer service. Since I was unable to locate anywhere online I figured I would share it here.

Forget going shiny! It is way too blingy, and just impossible to keep that way. Scuffed-up aluminum is the way to go!
