Reviving a Stealth CE and other RC10's
I impulse bought a couple more gold pan's to add to the fleet to accompany my original Cadillac and figured I would post them up. I'm certain i will have a few questions while fixing them.
My first car will likely stay as is. Several guys on this site helped me get this one back in decent shape and I am grateful. It's a #6016 Cadillac with a reedy conquest motor and tekin rebel esc. It actually runs really well, which is why it is dirty in these pictures. It's no more than a used runner, but it has sentimental value, as it took me two christmas' to get all the necessary parts to get it built and working, back in the mid 1980's.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
To avoid wear on the Cadillac, I'm going to be working on this 'B' stamp Stealth Championship Edition with white arms. The plan is to put together a brushless runner, since it is already well used.
As always, any info, advice or ideas are welcome.

Re: Jimbo302's buggies
It looks like I am going to concentrate effort on the Stealth CE car, so I will modify the title of the thread appropriately.
I rummaged through a few parts bins and and it looks like I might have enough to upgrade the transmission to B4 slipper and make sure the diff is good, as well.
I also picked up a "Viper" body to go on it, I was thinking Orange and white, for colors.

Yeah, it had been in storage since the mid 1990's, but it had a hard life before that.DaveM wrote:Hi Jimbo302,
Nice that you still have your first RC10.

Re: Reviving a Stealth CE and other RC10's
I aquired another "custom" RC10 (because I obviously have a problem).
This one looks like a B3 plus some sort of Graphite or carbon fiber style chassis, and some Truck rear arms, with a few other tweaks.
Edit: The custom bulkhead was cracked all over, so I replaced it and I'm gonna sell this one to fund the rest.

Re: Reviving a Stealth CE and other RC10's
So, I was pulling the wheels and motor off this little A stamp Cadillac car and I have to hold the axles to get the wheel nut off because the axle drive pin doesn't engage the wheel. I got to looking at how dark the gear cover was and found a surprise there too.
Other than that and the gold having some discoloration in places, it is a decent little car.

Re: Reviving a Stealth CE and other RC10's
It sure looks like there should be, ha. I wondered why it was dark brown and didn't have one spot I could see through.scr8p wrote:Is there a grease fitting in that gear cover?
I think so, other thana little discoloration on some of the anodizing.DaveM wrote:Should clean up nicely!

All the parts from that buggy are pretty decent and unmolested.
I'm working on assembling them on the graphite chassis in a mid motor setup.

You certainly have a selection of parts!
Man, someone sure drilled some extra holes in the Graphite chassis.
