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 Picked this A chassis up for $50 RTR with box and manual. I collect mainly Tamiya and Kyosho vehicles so this will be my first rc10 resto. I did a complete teardown and rebuild of the entire car, high speed buffed all of the aluminum, and...

Where did you get those shiny nose tubes and wing tubes?
As the title says. I'm trying to clean up some used fibreglass shock mounts which have browned up at the used spots. Does anyone know how to clean fibreglass shock towers up so that they look new again?
Thanks.

To remove scratches on the smooth parts, try a polishing kit designed for model cars. You start out with a fine sanding film then go to a more and more fine grit. I think they go up to around 64000. It takes a while but the results can look like...
I just started to restore another CE 6 gear but I would like feedback if I should put an A&L trailing arm rear set up on it. It is in really good shape,chassis and arms. Let me know what you think... :?

Another question. Again, not looking for $ amounts or to sell. I have a few examples pictured and quite a few more on the wall and in boxes some where. Would these parts be better left alone or go ahead and use them on a build. I have probably used...

I just pm'd ROH73 to see if he has any of his undertrays left. If he does that will keep the chassis protected.

the issue is that on alot direct drive trans, the diff/outdrives are usually set further back (towards the motor) because of the larger diff gear that is required. if you had it setup as a rear motor, this wouldn't be an issue. but now, with it...

Cool, I got a variety set of the blades of the bay, so I actually try all of them. I use the smallest one on the towers and a bit bigger teeth ones on the aluminum chassis. I smooth out the sides with dremel and with a hand file.
I was wandering if anyone has used other shocks on their RC10 other than the Associated ones for their runner or shelf. I am working on a RC10 with some custom parts and wanted to use some other shocks. Post pics if you can.

you can use the evader shocks but you will need to use losi or evader springs because the bodies are larger in diameter just like the losi shocks they were originally based off of. i used 2 sets of short buggy fronts set on one of my dirt oval cars...
I have this MIP tranny graphite chassis RC10 and I want to upgrade to 2.2 tires. I have what I think are 3/16 MIP cvd's already so I think all I need to make the switch are: (4) 3/16 x 3/8 flanged bearings for the rear hubs, (4) 3/16 x 3/8 unflanged...

If there are a series of bumps/dots or whatever you'd like to call them around the diameter of the wheel to represent rivets, then they are Proline for Tamiya 1.9s.
I scored this cool old midget body a few weeks ago and was just checking to see if it will fit an RC10 or a DS..and I've been thinking about cutting it out so I can see...what do you guys think?? will it fit?

Are there any alternative steering parts I can use for my RC10?
I'm thinking something with bearings like the MIP system. Ive got some NIP original steering linkage parts but want to use something a little stronger for racing.
Thanks

Did you see these?..they are cheap enough and period correct..
I have these but not sure how good they are as the plate is attached via only screws with copper plate with no bearings.

Your gearing is wrong, you want less teeth to the pinion not more. Try a 10 tooth pinion on the 6 gear tranny, if it's still to hot go to a 9t.

No you can usually get a graphite chassis for 40-80 in nice shape.

i think that if you are going to run this one than don't worry about drilling. BUT, a good double sided tape could be a good idea. A hard hit the wrong way could dislodge it though.
