Complete history of the Associated RC10
Posted: Tue Feb 07, 2006 11:51 pm
Figured it would be smart to start a thread about the complete history of the car this forum is devoted to. I think we should nail down a definitive list of the Associated RC10. All the complete buggys and trucks with the RC10 name. No aftermarket chassis, we can do that in another thread.
Here's my what my memory can contribute. Lot's of holes, but a start. It would also be nice to have kit numbers to go with each kit.
6010 RC10 - the original gold tub, 6 gear RC10
RC10CE (Championship Edition) same as the original, but with wider front arms and taller wheels and tires
RC10 Graphite. Same as the CE, but with a graphite chassis (graphite shock towers?)
Somewhere around this time, I think the Stealth transmission was introduced. Did it first appear on the CE, or did it come on a whole new car?
RC10T. Awesome truck version of the RC10, far superior to the aftemarket conversion trucks. Came with a Stealth and completely different suspension.
RC10 Worlds. New chassis, shock towers, and other stuff. I remember it was a looooong time in the making, several years. Based on the car the won the Worlds, I think driven by Masami Hirosaka. But, the final production car was different than that car.
RC10B2 & T2. Whole new car
RC10B3 & T3. Whole new car
RC10B4 & T4. Whole new car
Like I said, lots of holes. This is just from memory, I don't feel like Googleing or digging through my stack of RCCA's tonight. Feel free to contribute or correct anything. It would also be fun to find out little details like when the shocks changed.
