This is a tribute to the great line of RC10 buggies produced since 1984-2009 (RC10 - RC10B4). This is a work in progress. It will take some time and help from fellow members, as we all learn new things about the different versions. So please be...

Question I haven't found a firm answer for... it seems some RC10's have much whiter Nylon than others. I'm not talking about dirt or oxidation/aging etc.. just simply as they came some cars had much whiter nylon. I know this because I was fortunate...

Is there any where else that I could find that 1990 RC10 video you refer to ?
Here's something I noticed today while digging, different labels on the ends of a couple RC-10 boxes. I am used to seeing the printed label on the ends of the boxes, but I have one (maybe more) that the information is actually printed (stamped)...

Was just dosing on the couch and was thinking of the 4X4 conversion for the RC10

Cable drive, did somebody say cable drive? All I have left from the cable days is this front gearbox. Note the square drive in the center of the top gear. The funky part was the front driveshafts. Or should I say hooks. Wire hooks that were bent in...

Hi folk,
This is my first post in RC10 forum. I like to share my RC10 photos to you. This RC10 was bougth from eBay 1~2 years ago. It cost me US$350. And I also bought a painted body for it from RACER8388. I really like his painting. His painting is...

Hi all. I am completely new to the AE RC10. I fell in love with this buggy back in the late 80s, but had no way to afford it. I had to settle for a Cox Bandito at the time. It even had the Kyosho name on the bottom of the pan. After reading the...

Try shorter using long rod ends and shorter turnbuckles.

you'll have to use the topshaft on both sides or the center shaft on both sides: those have to turn inthe same direction. OTherwise your front and rear will just fight eachother.
is this a composit craft conversion? I got it in a trade and want to sell or trade it but would like to know what it is and if possible what kind of price it may bring. Thanks for any help.

It has the RPM Worlds suspension conversion kits on the front and rear as well.
I'm looking for suggestions from you veterans with regard to the netting used for the windows on replicas, what are you guys using for something that looks like the box art RC10 body, where the netting is straight up/down and side to side?

I have an A chassis gold pan. I would like to know about interchangeable parts from later models that were introduced by Associated that would work for my car. Specifically: bearings, wheels, drive train, steering, etc.

Thanks Steve. I also go this graphite rc10 that a friend gave me way back when. It's got a MIP trans dyed parts (yuck). It has fat tires, Twister motor and Novak esc. I think this may be a stealth trans. What do you think?
I just got junk off of eBay. I once had an A gold pan in 1982. I'd like a shelf queen but I like to run stuff. I will watch my grandson smash this car, but I will learn him better. I will Frankenstein the gold pans and post the pictures. I will have...

If you guys are running the B4 I highly recommend the 4th hole shock tower and 1/2 degree hubs. We have been running the light weight setup for a while now and I'm happy to say, it works great! All my towers are hand drilled, but the new pre-drilled...
