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...

Hey green... have you seen my RC10T/B ?
Its simply an RC10T with a buggy body.
I have yet to not find a part available for it... many at my local hobby shop.
Other parts made available thru this forum quickly and easily!
I have these tires on some RC10 jelly beans(why this is in the buggy forum, not sure who reads other forums, but this gets the most attention).
Anyone recognize them? The sidewall says ADVAN, and they are worn, but judging by the pattern on the one...

Well I finally collected enough parts to complete a couple of builds I’ve been planning. The first of which will be based on a brand new Parma D&D graphite chassis. I’d say about 75% of the car will be built with nip parts with the rest I just...

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.

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.
