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...
I was envisioning a 4wd RC10 with a vintage transmission somewhere near the middle of a vintage AE chassis so that you could somehow use the B44 front and rear gear boxes and shafts. I would like to see vintage...

Well I was out of RC when the B3 was out. I have restored a B3 and now all thats left is to paint the body. My question is does anybody have scans/pics of Pavidis/Masami/etc. so I can do a little replica work? Thanks in advance guys! :mrgreen:

Hello to all… I’m sKott and I have always had to have something to piddle with. Nothing too major, but I need to have something to build to keep my sanity. Back in the early 90's I bought and built a RC10 Team car and had a blast with it. The only...

After my trip to the local hobby store, it looks like the battery is fine but the speed controller needs to be replaced. Anyone know where I can get one New or used (Futaba 210CB) on the cheap?
I thought I would try my hand at welding a pan. This thing had 4 huge holes in it, and two extra holes. They are gone now. Got them mostly ground down, and need to mill it all flat. I didn't take good before shots like I wanted to, but here is an...

Well you can decide if you are going to run an ESC, that would take care of 6 holes. Then decide how you are going to mount the battery and what size servo. I think it would look really nice, just don't forget the antenna :D
There is so much valuable information about the history of the RC10. So much of it is on RC10 talk. The problem is that many sites or forums don't stay around for many years. The RC10 has a Wikipedia page , but its pretty barren of info. I added the...
Will they work in the 2,25 tranny or the B2 tranny ?

They might. I remember reading something about that only the other way around. It was about using Associated parts to make the Evader gearbox stronger. So I would guess that it should work vice versa. Actually most of the Evader series are old Losi...

you'll have to use the topshaft on both sides or the center shaft on both sides: those have to turn inthe same direction. OTherwise your front and rear will just fight eachother.
