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...
Winter time means getting the back burner projects done. This was one for me.

I would go with a larger spur and a smaller pinion, specially if you are bashing. something like a 87/20, or lower pinion specially if you are using a 6 gear trany.
First off, I'd like to say hi to everyone! I'm new to RC cars in general & just got my first RC10. I have some questions about it that hopefully y'all can help me out with. I got a gold pan in a trade recently that I was going to sell, but after...

LOL, yeah the zip tie cracked me up. I need to find a battery cup & fix the front spindle/hub assembly before I can toy around with it too much. I don't think I will make it original, it's pretty scratched up so I just want to use it as a toy.

The six gear trans is a fairly high ratio and that is a relatively low turn motor compared to what was regularly used in that era. I would start with the smallest pinion/largest spur you can fit, especially if you are using modern tires which are a...

Just start fresh on your solder connections. You probably have a cold joint that is limiting the transfers of power and overloading the esc. Make sure you are using good solder (ie. deans) with flux and a hot iron. I my experiences, this should...

good idea to put a mid-motor transmission on the short wheelbase: should help to keep the front tires in touch with the ground.
