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 was sent over here from RCTech.net and had trouble getting my account going until now. I started a thread over there and this will basically be a duplicate of that thread I had started. Not much enthusiasm over there for the RC10,...

Picked up a big bunch of parts. Some needed to fix the broken other simply just to rebuilding things like the tranny and shocks. I broke my front A-arm a while ago and replaced it with a nylon one of a donor car and that didnt last long. I decided...
I decided to start a Halsey buggy tribute build. I picked the tires, wheels and bumper up about a year ago with this build in mind. For now this is planned as more of a tribute as I am not planning on cutting or drilling the chassis. Thanks to the...

I just picked up an RTR RC18T off the 'bay.
Got it for a real nice price and thought what the hell.
Does anyone now what the motor limit on the stock ESC is?
Can I use a 540 size motor in it?
Any other things I should watch out for?
Thank you all in...

Just my opinion here but masking them then spraying would probually be best. I used to brush mine and if you are good enough you can do that. How ever it is best to spray it. Keep us posted on the progress man.

Just make sure you got he weight in the right places: as low as possible and in the suspended, non rotating parts. And if possible well balanced. Otherwise that little bit extra weight might make things tuffer to drive

I laid down a few coats of Tamiya PS-17 Metallic Green,backed it with Tamiya PS-13 Gold,then backed everything with Tamiya PS-1 White.
The green really shimmers in the sun and gives it a nice depth under soft light.

It was an ebay auction from awhile back and I'm not sure who it was. I have been sourcing parts for the last year in order to finish or start builds and things are kind of a mess right now. If I run across another set I will let you know.

there are many different types of paint used on RC cars. Fuel will work for some paints, not for others. It really depends on what type of solvent is used with the paint.
Good examples:

What shock tower can I use the RPM rear bulkhead? It looks like a 10GT will work but I think its going to be to tall for a buggy and a body will not fit. Its for a RPM ulta Buggy.

Last post
If you're doing a truck you use a normal 10T rear tower, use the bulkhead as a template for the upper holes, marking them with a small nail.
I was wondering what parts interchange w/ rc10 parts that I might be able to get in Korea.
