I've been waiting for the right 10L to come my way for a while and finally came across this one. It's going to end up on my shelf when it's done and I would like to have a cool, era correct, motor in it. These are a couple of the motors that I have...

Need a little help with finding servos for my RC12e, I recently picked up 4 Futaba Fp s-28's only to find they were too big and bottomed out on the chassis. Is there a good size to look for? Maybe 27's or 7's?? The car is from 1979...

Can anyone identify the blue rear exhaust engine shown on this NTC3 FT?

Thanks, Mark

Hi all,
First post here although I've been lurking for a while. A recently sparked interest lead me to pick up what looks like an early RC12E, I'm no expert though, so please feel free to correct me. I'm no stranger to being judged :)

I plan to...

i've been on a quest to find all of the parts i need to build all three of the HPI conversions for the 10l/10lss. i'm still missing three pieces, but as with everything, eventually they will show up. so here they are......

Hi Everyone,

Making a start on my first project today as the title it is An RC10L really wanted to do a RC12L first but seem very rare in the UK so couldn't find one! So heres some pics of the start of the dismantle and general clean....

Got this 12e today from a friend who found it on CL. I traded him for a paintjob. The plan is to clean it up, get a TBG body off the bay for it. It came with a Futaba receiver and white IC servos but he kept those. Tires are hard as a rock and...

Hi Guys,

First post on the forum, Used to run an RC12L at club and national level in the late eighties and have recently returned to racing GT12 in the UK so have got the bug to pick up ideally an original RC12L to get running at our carpet track....

I have had this car for years. Finally decided to clean up the chassis . Painted a McAllister Nissan wide body for it and added some white rim Jaco WGT tires .

I have a set of lazer lite wheels

I want to use on my drag car.

I looking to find a gear mount that will bolt a gear directly to the axle. Does any body know of something that will work

Hello all,

I've searched and found place for the help I was looking for to get my pair in my stable running again.
First up is my former road rocket, my RC10L...

What I need help with is what options are available for the front wheel/tires?...

does anyone know who made these ceramic diff rings i have had them from sometime in the early 90's they have had many many hours of run time on them and are still good no grooves or anything

Nice story...

Kénpis.

Was not a big pan car person, but did have an RC10L way back in the day. It appears TA is coming out with a formula racer. Not many details on it yet, but looks cool and chances are I will buy one to be a shelf queen.

Any idea the wheelbase, front and rear width of RC10L?

Thank u in advance for any info :)

I had an extra pair of Hot Trick style chassis support blanks laying around and an MIP SP1 trans that I had rebuilt, and somehow that turned into a complete build. Kind of road race or modified style with a cut down Scorcher body and a set of TRC...

Hi, Ive got a new built 12L and 12LW Graphite - I'm Looking at doing the Box art body and either a 1990 or 1992 Masami body replica.

The only images of the Masami Rc12 from those 2 worlds are very grainy and small on the AE site.

Does anyone have...

I bought this car brand new in 1995. It has been raced on a carpet oval with a Nastruck body, run on 10 cells as a drag/speed car, and bashed around parking lots, and it just keeps going. I put it away for a while, stumble across it again, get it...

Hello,
First off forgive any stupid questions as I have never had, nor worked on a pan car of any kind (except motors). A friend of mine at work had toyed with building an R/C car using 3D printed parts and all, just for fun. When I saw the RC12E...

I've got a couple of DS projects going on so I figured I'd start a thread to keep track of the progress. First up is a DS I acquired used that will be getting refresh.

This is how I received it and its current condition:

This is the Mustang DS...

Hello, I just bought this RC10DS, it's in overall good shape.

Really dirty, but it came with hard coated team shocks, universals, and full ball bearings. :P

Some rust, but nothing really bad.

Tires are in really really good shape. :D...

My first car was a 12e and one of the mods I had was this front end. I'd like to find another if it's out there. Don't have a part number or actual description, but it was an Associated upgrade. It came as a bag of parts and included. Don't know if...

With a bin full of used parts it seemed silly not to have a runner. Not modern, not old school- just whatever was kicking around. Topped with a TBG pantera body, I was thinking I was using racing red- it was bright red. Now she looks like a Ferrari....

Thanks to a good friend, I now finally have a car that I have been struggling to track down for a long time. As a young teenager growing up in Perth Australia, this was the last pan car that I ran. I remember thinking what a revolutionary design the...

I am starting to piece together my first DS and want to be sure of the parts needed to run modern wheels and tires. What is the easiest route to obtain the needed pieces and what are said pieces?

I also saw CVD's from this place: Universal...

New built RC10L4 oval with a protoform gen 3 body. Painted in Mark Martins #5 GoDaddy colors.

I decided to make a thread for my RC10 Nitro DS Willys. it was born of spare parts. it was mentioned in my Camaro thread but i felt it needed a thread of its own.

It has slowly evolved and has yet to be finished. A high speed setup was the...

Hello!

Up for show are some of my new built cars :D

RC12E
RC500

Just picked this up for cheap to use for carpet racing and I'm not sure what I have now that I brought it home. The front suspension looks like 12ls, but the chassis looks like 12l, as the front of the chassis does not have body mounts? Is that...

Hello all. Starting a new project based off an RC10DS conversion kit. I received the the following chassis from a member on here a few months ago. It already had a lot of DS goodies on it and some custom work done by the previous owner. I knew once...

More info coming....

Not an on road guy, but I got these along with some other parts. No clue what they fit (besides an on road car). Address is Edinger but the label is to faded to make out anything else.

Like the title says, what is the best way to mount them? Using contact cement or using double sided tape?

Here is my personnal vision of the 10R5.

As indicated in my member welcome introduction, I do not support different colors of anodizing parts.

At the arrival from the south of Paris ;)

Hi,

This is my last find from Associated,

RC10LS

Jérome

I picked up a DS the other day and the transmission has me perplexed. There is no slipper at all. I would try to explain it but pictures are always better. This is how it sat on the car. Minus the motor plate obviously.

This is just the gear...

Rc12e find....

As payment for some of my hard work for Rod, he gave me a 12L3 and a 12L4. Now, needless to say, they weren't complete cars, so here's where the fun begins.

Here's how the 12L looked. Seems nearly complete, but...

And,...

What would you all say the best combo would be for an older RC 10L. Would like it to be fast :-)

Trying to restore a bolink eliminator......what is the pitch of the diff gear on these? It's definitely not 48p.

What bodies fit the Ds best? My resto is coming along nicely looking for a good body.

Anyone recognize this chassis? I don't know what I have.

Bought a roller thinking it was a road conversion kit.........turns out I think I bought a DS.........ill post pic in a bit...........how and where do I find parts? Or is this one of those very obsolete models?

So in beginning my plan I am realizing that there are no tires.....lol should have read more threads. So as I understand... The sc10 front turnbuckles fit and just get a hex clamp for rear axles and then I cause modern wheel/tire combo?
