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...
At that time wheel offsets were pretty small. So to increase the suspension length you needed to stretch the arm and get the added length wherever you could. That meant putting the inner mount closer inboard.
Curtis and I have been emailing back and forth quite a bit thanks to Gene for getting our emails to each other, after messaging Gene.
During this time we spoke about the development of the RC10 cars and also regarding the wing for his Box Art car,...

It's so incredibly cool to see these cars after all of these years!
Some of you had a look to my replica of the Brian's 1993 World Winning RC10 Team Car.
Probably less knows than the car was stollen few weeks after the race, in Japan, during the Reedy Race.
The RC10 has such a wide nose plate, it's just like it's made to be tinkered with. So why not do a lay down front suspension?

Very cool build. The front shock window and the billboards cut to fit the side vents are neat touches.

The TQ10 I've also been assembling received the lone set of TQ wheels I had. In my search for another new or clean used set, I decided to take a look at some Imex dish wheels. I found a set of direct fit fronts, but had no luck finding...
Hi I have recently dug out my old B3 with the idea of taking up racing again and I have noticed I am missing the CVD dog bone and the relevant pins and coupling. As I am looking to race the car my intention is to try and replace the parts I need to...
Last post
I have a B3 that I need to dig out of storage, I know I have a lot of spare parts from my racing days at OCRC
Fan RC is reproducing them but they appear to be out of stock everywhere.
I know Avid makes a version but it's aluminum and I'd prefer a steel shaft and gear.
Anyone else making these?

There could be some inexpensive gearboxes that periodically pop up. That shaft and the slipper assembly are in:

Here's a picture of the 2 kits. As mentioned already, the difference is the length of the arms. The second picture tries to show that difference as best as I could.

Hi!
I'am building an brand new RC10 World's from old and new parts. Last part missing is the ASC7377 - Rear Axle Bearing Spacer. I can't find it anywhere. I know I could buy a B4, or T4, that used this part, but I hope RC10 Talk community could help...
I swear I searched and couldn't find it. I know there's a thread that shows how to convert a B4 to 12mm hexes up front using non-Associated (easy to find) parts but I can't find it. I had it saved on my last phone but it died 😔
Any help is greatly...

Do you know if the Traxxas axle carriers fit the B4 c-hubs?
I have adapted the smaller (5X8) bearing type. They are only used on the brushed Bandit buggy (VXL's use the larger one) now. Rustlers and Stampedes also used them in the past.

What are the most common sizes used on pre-B5 era Associated buggies?
.05
1/16
3/32
5/64
Was 5/64 used a lot? I don't remember. I vaguely remember 3/32 being the most common size for most fasteners on the B4.
Last post
5/64 isnt used for anything really but the stealth diff screw- however it works great as a 2.0mm driver for metric screws. Also a lot of pinions these days are metric, so a 1.5mm is handy. You will want a 2.5mm for the motor screws. For the 6 gear...

Here is a RC10B2 project i picked up plus i picked up some new spares and have a few more items on there way to me. Sorry for the bad picture i will get a better one up soon.
The overall chassis dimensions were close enough that it seemed like 'a good idea' to move a 6 gear RC10 buggy from a heavily used A stamp chassis to a new RC10B6 91650 chassis. My standards for close enough are low though.

Hi all, putting together a B3 and wanted to see some shock ideas. Im really happy with the 12mm shocks on my updated c tub. Has anyone went this direction with their b3s?Becuase I dont have any shocks, Im leaning toward 12mm. Your thoughts......

I went with 12mm big bore shocks.
how did you do your front hex conversion....if in fact that is what Im seeing?
Yes, you are seeing correctly. I used the Custom Works kit. However you can go other routes, such as using B6 parts.
