This past weekend I was racing my CustomWorks sprint car at the local dirt oval track and spotted this car just spanking the field in the Super Stock class against other buggies. Thought you guys would enjoy the pics so I tracked him down and took a few shots.
He bought it just a while back in a group of RC10's for just $50 for the lot. He did just a few tweaks but otherwise he runs it just like he got it. I told him +1 for saving the car and another +1 for racing it!
Sadly the street stock class died out while I was deployed. It's the class I'd like to run my tubs in. My 6 gear ran with them using waffles and did very well. Hoping to get a vintage class going at Victory.
I can’t tell you how many times I’ve looked at this motor and never realized that the word Super is an additional decal on top of the can sticker. Why is this? I’ve seen plenty of Mr. Outlaw motors without it. Is there a difference?...

While doing the brushed motor guide, I frequently encountered confusing and conflicting info like this. :? Nevertheless, I've added these motors with the specs contained here.
I have a huge collection of oval racing reports from here in the UK from the early 70s through to the late 90s and so figured might as well upload some of the larger events and create an archive of a once hugely popular but now rapidly dwindling...

What is the best chassis for street stock or bomber dirt oval racing and why? I have a World's car that I'm not using, but I also have the potential to buy a NIB B5 for $165. It seems like the B4 has the most aftermarket parts for oval racing...

If it’s the new worlds car, you already have the top shaft to run the modern spurs. You can make an RC10 run with the B4s! Since you picked up the new car, I’d say pick up some factory works or similar towers to mount the big bore shocks!
I came across a nice group of brushed motors from a dirt oval racer and there was a CAM super stock motor with some uniquely cut brushes. The sides were narrowed to allow the face to offset for more timing advance. I think it's really cool! I guess...

There was lots of brush cutting going on back in the day. Several companies sold precut brushes and brush cutting machines were also a thing so you could cut your own. Everything from slotted brushes for more cooling to holes drilled up the center...
I know you guys get variations of this question often. (I've read many many threads). But often the post gets into way more $ and complication than I'm looking for.
I've pulled my original stock RC10 out, interested again cause the neighborhood...

Thanks for all the advice.
Spent some time with the steering and it is better until I can upgrade.
Tried a youtube trick I saw and stuck my Garmin inside the car, set for new trip and ran it down the street.
It registered 22mph as max speed for...
Here are some picture's of my 6 gear RC10 with a custom chassis and a stock car body on it. There are also custom made shock towers on it.
My uncle gave it to me a few years ago and lately I have been cleaning it up and making it runable again. The...
Just some quick pics of my RC10 street stock conversion that I just finished. This will be strictly a parking lot basher. I got the chassis off ebay and bought new RPM suspension parts and a bomber conversion kit from Speedy’s Racing Parts. The...

I dig it, I would do the custom works wheels personally. Here's the details on how to make the CW wheels fit properly.
Is there a knock off tire that at least looks similar to the stock RC10 front and rear tires? I'd like to put some new shoes on this BEAUTIFUL box stock car I just got, but I don't want to put 50% of what I spent on the car to go into new tires.

i have some original RC10 from tires and wheels.
one set of tires are used and does not match the number of ribs as the box art tires but i do also have some box art front tires that look new...but are a little dry from being so old.
