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...
I got this about 6 years ago at a swap meet then tore it apart and just shelved it. This had no tranny in it at the time. Also in the deal was a gold pan with the old tranny, but it has the same front arms as below, and a complete front end with the...

Thanks for the info. Actually I have the other 2 shocks but I didnt put them in the picture. I guess since its pretty beat up I will just build it as is.
I have one of the graphite chassis that has the AE symbol etched in it and have a question about re-conditioning it. It is in great shape other than the very front being a bit frayed on one side from one or more hard crashes. I got it off ebay for...

I just did the same to my chassis. To get the glue off I soaked the spot with acetone and used a sharp chisel layed down flat against the chassis. Worked great!
Haven't been around in a while so I apologize if I missed this, (I did search and didn't find any evidence...) but has anyone read about or tried Retr0brite for whitening?
As soon as I saw this, I thought of everyone here :wink:

Can't hurt. I've tried about everything else with results being only average overall.
So, on layoff with nothing better to do, I... opened the box.
Sorry about the size of the pictures.
Half complete, and resting back in the box. :P

I think it's great to see it breath.I have spent thousands on die cast collectable cars and not one is in its box.They are all in a glass wall display where I can take them out and drool on them at my leisure.I wouldnt run that car but I would have...
This is my latest acquisition. It caught me eye, one for obvious reasons, the purple chassis. Also it is in relatively good condition, minimal scratches on the bottom of the chassis. Yeah, there are a few on the nose plate and the back under the...
Hi all :)
As a newborn RC10-fan I don´t know that much about these wonderful cars yet and I am a little confused:
Recently, I bought a NIP noseplate (is that the correct name? :oops: ) for my Gold Pan and when I got it, I noticed that the colour...

Those are sick Tires.... I need to find something close that here in the states!
Check out these they are schumacher mini spike tires..
Just got this today. I was surprised to read the box label and have never seen one of these before. Seems to be in good shape. It's missing a front shock but found it with a bag of spare parts in the bottom of the box. Ball cups look incorrect,...

Thanks! I have a nip wing that i think i'll use. They look kinda cool just clear. Another resto project begins :) ....................
Hi
My name is David and I am new here. Let me try and sum this up quickly. While trying to find info on some T4s for my kids I found out that there was still interest in the old RC10. I went and dug out my old Dually Conversion and since it had...
I bought this car a few weeks ago from Evilpay, shady pictures, nice buy-it-now and a missing link in my collection. Well I already have a few Graphite chassis but all of them are drilled for the Stealth and hopped-up. I couldn't beleive my eyes...

Why add the motor guard? :? I'd think the TQ21/71 would be the final touch. It's a really nice car!
I picked up this chassis on ebay about a week ago. Does anyone have some info on this. Its not a graphite chassis but seems to be a carbon chassis . Its not as rigid as a graphite. Its a chassis that I don't have and just purchased it on the spur of...

So from all the pics I have seen . I just need a sidewinder body and some champ car parts and I have a good base for a TQ10 resto?
Here it is :0, It seems to have a few aftermarket parts on it, But it's a team b2. I'm putting b3 parts on it and putting the rarer B2 parts away in storage as I'm going to drive it a bit.

Any idea when the rear shock tower was changed from a single mount to a dual mount ?
Last post
Rear shock tower could have been changed as that was simple, just a couple of screws. Back then sometimes you changed things just to make your car look like the newer models that just came out. More shock positions could also equal better handling...
Does anyone know what shock size I need to use with a A&L front tower :?:

it's not my photo, just the one from ebay

I have one still in the package and it says RC10 Long Front Shock Tower for all Rc10 & Kyosho Long Shocks part #2009 I would think it is for the long shock body and long shaft.
Hello all, just found this forum and i'm very impressed. I've recently pulled my gold tub out of storage and re-built it for my son. my problem is i cant seem to keep it from rolling in the turns (on the street). besides softening the rear...
Last post
just try lowering the whole buggy, you can move the shocks where they mount on the shock towers so the end result is the suspension arms sitting more horizontal, also put the shock clamps at the top of the shock..pics would help us..good luck 8)
I've recently dug my cars out of the basement and have been looking into cleaning them up and getting them in running order. I'm having trouble trying to keep up with tire sizes and how everything has progressed since the early 90's. Some...

excellent, thanks for the info. especially the tamiya tires. I did find the traxxas rears after digging on tower for awhile.
these tire guys need to spin up a nostalgia line of tires....that would be excellent, and it couldn't cost that much to add...

Last post
Just a few tips
toe the front wheels in a bit
if the track is small and has tight corners put 30 degree blocks up front. This will help the front wheels lay over a bit when you turn.
if it is a bigger track with more open corners use about 15...

For those of you that have used a truck noseplate on the RC10 chassis, how did you drill new holes in the nose tubes? I have a drill press if that helps any...not very familiar with it though. :lol: :lol:
Also, I can't seem to find the drill bit...
Last post
just use a center punch, and tap it with a light hammer to leave you a dimple. Drill bit will not walk out on you then.
Ok, so I'm planning on converting my daughter's T3 back to a B3, I've seen that a couple of you guys have used the truck front shocks and shock tower on some of your builds, would that work for the rear too??, or are they just to long, for them to...

Here is a pic of my B3/T3 project. I was going to restore a T3 . I purchased and new chassis for a B3 . I did not know the length differance at the time. This what I came up with a B3 with T3 shocks and T3 front and rear A arms. I use the B3 shock...
Hi, I'm new here and fairly new in the hobby. I picked this creampuff up last week at a craiglist garage sale and I need some info. I think it's an mid or late '80's Edingers RC 10 from some research but I'm not sure. It has the white opaque...

Are the 1.9 tires the tire that fit the really old RC10? the jelly bean rims. and if so is there a tire made now that you can use to replace them with and still get.
And the same for the front tires. What size are they and can you still get...

Well I don't even see a set on the bay. I saw a set of fronts but they wanted $38.00. so i'm out at that price.
so I guess the 1.9 are for the TQ rims?
Anyway I went in the barn today and found some NIP CRP front tires and a set of Trol 1.6...
