Team Associated RC10DS-CC 😅

Having a little fun with some RC10CC parts custom cut towers, bumper, trans brace and nose plate along with Nostalgic RC nose tube braces topped off with an original DS Camaro body 💪🏻

I'm trying to find foam tires for what is said to be a standard Associated wheel size. The place I'm getting the standard wheel size from, is according to the Mini-Mags ad:

A10-Fs fit RC10 and use standard size ASSOC. tires

The wheel...

I'm really not interested is trying to make a faithful replica of anyone else's car, but the Dead Pool RC10 is a street based RC10 with my favorite Corvette body so I definitely need one as a runner (probably without real explosive charge, even...

I picked up 12e and I'm waiting for it to be shipped out.
Looking at the manual it seems pretty complete.

Is there anything that is hard to find on this car from the pictures? I don't know...

Hi,

Anyone know of a RC10L chassis with the RC10 buggy rear end configuration instead of the traditional pod rear end?

info from Kent himself. was able to get the chassis direct from him how cool is that!!!

Kent Clausen
It was an enduro car, I probably raced it at the Thunderdrome and Whippoorwill. At AE we made a few custom quick change cars, then went to the...

Is there a good thread on here about tires and wheels for the rc12e?

I picked up an rc12e on ebay over the weekend. It seems I have all of the shock rebuild and diff parts I need already :lol:

I don't know much about 1/12 tires and wheels and the...

Does anyone have any info and detailed pics of Cliff Lett's winning RC10L that he drove at the Rc Thunderdrome V, Dominguez Hills in 1992?

Well, I'm pretty sure it is a 10L... I had always wanted one. This one came up on RC Crawler.com.. got it for $35 shipped, with a TON of vintage foam tires.

Will someone please tell me if this is an Associated front end, and if not, who...

Nothing CSI related, I'm just hoping someone out there can tell me which Associated body is used on the 10L box art? I want to know which Nissan that is.

Thanks in advance,
Dave

I was given this in a haul from ex-Team Associated, team Reedy and Team Novak driver Jimmy Davis fairly recently. He let me have a heap of Novak parts including the elusive white/translucent Novak NES-1A servo as per the Kent Clausen 1982 World...

I think this is going to be a long term slow to build project. It was...

Hi all, do you know where i can found a complete bearings set for my Rc10LS?
front wheels (4) rear pod (2)
Thanks
Olivier :wink:

Hey there, I'm putting together an old Nitro DS that I picked up to relive my earlier RC days now that I have adult money lol.

Anyways, it came with an engine in it. Says TOP Engines on the carb body and has I think cs12 on the side of the block....

Starting off my Christmas vacation with another 10Lss build.🙂

Greetings all! I've been having fun lately with my recently resurrected Factory Team TC3 that I've had since it was new in '92 or so? I think the TC3 is a great car. Very adjustable, light, works great, etc, etc. Enjoyed it so much that I bought a...

Hi Guys I have an opportunity to buy a mint RC10LS. The question I have Is when did the plastic change from white to black?

I don't really want to go for one that was white and has been died black... :(

Many thanks

Jon

So I have been having a lot of fun with my ol' TC3 lately. So much so that I bought a second one for my son to run with me. My car currently has a Novak SS5800 brushless set up, and I'm running a new 6 cell 3300mAh Dynamite NiMh battery. I've got it...

I've been searching the threads here for some alternatives to TC3 outdrives. I actually have the Factory Team TC3, which came with the composite outdrives, part 3908. I guess the RTR and standard kits came with the steel outdrives , part 3912. But...

Today I received an Associated RC250 Club Racer via UPS even though i promised myself i wouldn't get any more cars :roll: .

I couldn't help myself. It is a cool looking sample, especially considering the age, just needing a few items to get it...

Happy New Year to everyone here on RC10Talk!

Now that the Chevy DS project is coming to an end, I sat here today thinking of what a year 2020 has been. I started the Chevy DS started during quarantine when toilet paper and hand sanitizer became a...

Hi all. As you know, I entered my camel yellow electric RC10DS Lamborghini Murcielago in this this months BOTM. There, I mentioned i had a nitro version of a DS Lamborghini in the works. Well here is the start of the build page. Im starting out,...

Will these be added to this section since they are now vintage ???? I think they are up to the TC6...

I just finished a total overhaul on my TC3 touring car, including a brand new Kimbrough 72 tooth, 48 pitch spur gear to replace my damaged original. After only one run in a less than ideal parking lot, I sucked up some grit and mangled my brand new...

My most wild creation yet trying to utilize modern (available) drivetrain and front mount servo (drag specific) for the ultimate is front weight bias, onroad models will have standard servo mount location.

Picked up the final piece of the puzzle...

Hi all,

New here and just posted about a Goldpan I'm restoring. I'm also working on a DS and T2 ( found these in the basement after 20+ years etc) for the kids and myself to run together. It's been fun!

I'm having trouble getting my DS to return...

Hi Guys, just wondering what would be the best place to search for an rc12 preferably white plastic, Carbon chassis & dynamic strut front end.. NIB or as near to perfect as possible.

Thank

Jon

I have a set of stock foam tires for the DS, but I'd like to set this up in a way it can take modern tires.
I'm looking to bash on pavement, maybe some light dirt if there is a flat enough area. The battery will be a Nimh but the motor is slated to...

Hello.

I am in the making of an adapter for the old RC12l/LW/LS to mount the newer 3-bolt wheels. I know one is available from shapeways, but I want it made out of alloy. I just need the exact diameter of the 3-bolt circle. It is not very exact to...

Hello all.

I'm working on building a rc10 DS with a RPM grey transmission. My goal is to make it smooth. So far in my tear down it seems that very lightly oiled bearings with no shields spin the smoothest. There is a really significant spin time...

Hi all, now that the DS C5 corvette is running, another newbie query - proper on-road driving technique on pavement.

I run autocross and understand vehicle dynamics to a degree (though no nationals champ!). But RC cars feel so different....

I am building up a gold pan Ds and decided to dig though some of the parts I got from local store junk boxes.

The apex molded suspension link kit 31419 appears to be reasonable lengths for the rc10 DS front end.

I'm building a rc10 DS in one of the new 6001 gold pans.

I was considering replacing the GT style bell cranks with b2 style so I could free up some space to move the electronics forward.

Is this a bad idea?

Are there any ways to do this without...

I thought for sure I posted this car when I first built it but I can't find the thread. Anyway, I decided to change up a few things to make it more like a proper speed run car of the period.

These are the parts I added:

- Tecnacraft Aero-Trac &...

Just bought this heap off eBay cool part is it still has the original sales receipt from 1982. Any reason the tires would be covered in silicone?? Better traction?

Can anyone tell me the width of the front bulkhead where the inner hinge pin passes through? I trying to figure out if standard off road rc10 front arms would mount to this bulkhead. Thanks

Enjoy! Dont forget to watch in 1080p HD...looks better, :wink:

I've been looking for one of these T.M. Racing ST-10 conversions for a few years and as luck would have it, several popped up for sale within about a week.

This one got the full purple Trinity treatment. Along with a fiberglass axle, Pure-Tech...

Story: A while back i got two DS cars in trade for a new in boxed tamiya f201 ferrari. One was restored into a Lamborghini DS .

The RC10DS White Parts Special was born from the second DS. First off, the chassis was scratched and then painted over...

I picked up this super rusty POS earlier this week, and have cluttered up a couple of other threads with posts about it, so to quit all that I started a thread for it on it's own.

Back story: An ad pops up on FBMP for a vintage oval car a couple of...

Here's a Power Pacing Products OM-10 conversion for the RC10L that I recently finished. There isn't much info out there on this one, and only one magazine article on the company's later MID conversion. This conversion uses a narrow lower rear pod...

So I'm reaching out to you Yokomo guys to see if you can ID the retaining rings on Masamai's RC10GX from back in 1989.
Any idea what makes or brand these are?

Hey guys/gals!

Name is Robb and just getting back into RC after about a 10+ year break, and have never run an onroad car before. But when a RC10L popped up on FB a couple of weeks ago, it reminded me of how much I loved these cars from afar while...

Why be in the middle of one build when you can be in the middle of four? It eats up all that time you sit around waiting for parts, and paint to dry, etc.

My inspiration behind this one was thinking that I was an AE guy back in the '90s and I had a...

Howdy yall

remember when we were pillaging TC3 diff rebuild kits for our Stealth Cars? how the wheels have turned, eh ?!?! :lol:

I am rebuilding a TC3 atm to be a gentle runner. The car I bought came fully decked out with tons of blue (useless)...

Well, after some fun on carpet tracks and even on asphalt (it was really great), the original tires of my RC12LW are now dead and it's time to find a way to replace it.

First idea is to find tires that could fit the original AE wheels. A friend at...

Back in June 2013 i purchased an Electric DS to run on the street. i dropped in a sidewinder 3 and topped it off with a freshly painted red and black HPI Mustang body. I didn't do much to the car when i got it but i did add the body and electrics....
