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...
Please look closely at the bottom of this RC10. The additional servo and battery mount holes appear to be factory drilled. I say that because the inside of the holes appear to be anodized. Yes some are not countersunk...

WOW that's it, I wonder how many of these got out into the world. Thanks for your pic and post!
I have a chance to buy what the owner claims is a never run, Edinger RC10 with box and everything with it, motor and electronics still in bags. Only the body had been painted. His pictures support this claim, but wondering if worth the 600 dollar...
I've got a couple of Comical RC10 buggies to build. I'm starting out with the shorty Masami style build.

I'm still not sure why the front Wide-Fives were not included in the kit.
There's so much other stuff wrong with the Worlds kit compared to his actual car the tires almost don't matter.

There was a sort of plated version that flaked off, olive drab, then the powder coated ones you have.
With the trans brace you have, a 6 hole front tower would probably be best. Early stealth trans cars had a 6 gear brace with 2 new holes added for...
I figured the only way to get a coffin chassis RC10 Graphite is to have a replica chassis made. Since I have an extra later model RC10 Graphite in nice condition, it seems like a good option for the making a coffin chassis style buggy.

Welcome. If you're looking for aluminum wheels and still have the 1/4 tapered rear axles, these wheels on eBay from Korea are pretty nice.

This was the first RC10GX (NIB) I ever saw auctioned off in Japan. It is the earliest version of the RC10-GX. The main difference between this and the US spec is the inclusion of Yokomo aluminum wheel adaptors for Yokomo 2.15 inch rear wheels, extra...

It's been a while since I built an RC10. So I figured it was finally time to open a NIP Lightz oval conversion I've had for many years.
There's nothing fancy on this one and I built it as more of a gearbox club racer.

Hello everyone - I'm new here (as you can probably tell) so forgive me if I commit any infractions to unspoken rules. I read the forum rules and I think I've got everything down correctly.

For something sitting on the shelf, paint works fine. Otherwise, as scr8p said, you can find most standard shock stuff still around.
It won't be immediate but with a little patience you will find what you need.
Sassy Chassis ad's were plentiful in RCCA starting in 1990. I figured that I would try to source a standard RC10 chassis as the base for an all new hopped up build. There are only a couple of AE factory pieces such as the tranny brace, ball cups,...

Hey guys! Years ago, I built an RC10 with the A&L C2 chassis set. I originally put a ProTech II on it with the rear of the body going over the top of the shock tower. I thought the body looked too high so I trimmed the back off to lower the body. It...

Killer to see this. Came out absolutely perfect! I love Funco/Rough Rider bodies on rc10s. Always will.

For the cap seal I've used 13 mm OD 1mm thick O-ring. When tightening you first need to smear the o-ring with shock oil and not to overtight. For the bottom seals I used Traxxas 2362 kit. These were the shocks of my 1986 car, and I ran a full day...
