Gang, on the Transmission issue. I am having all kinds of issues from the top input shaft being cut wrong, to sticking in the transmission. In fact, the only way i could get the wheels to spin was to turn the slipper clutch to the max setting. I called AE on Wednesday and Don asked me to send the tranny to him. After talking to Don today, the problem might be worse then he first thought. The transmission was on it's way to Tim in engineering group to look at it. I will let everyone know what the out come it. BTW, Don has been great with helping to fix the problem.
I have to say I built three brand new old school USA stealth transmissions and all of them went together 100% perfect first time. (My 1986 1/8 buggy also goes together perfectly). So the whole "this is 30 years old" argument is nonsense. Fast forward all these decades of progress in technology... Sounds like you guys are now the guinnea pigs having to sort out all these QC problems. Still think the whole made in China issue makes no difference? Seems to me you get what you (don't want to) pay for.

Kink - someone has to tell you this straight once and for all as this has been going on for too long now...
GO VENT YOUR BOTTOMLESS FRUSTRATION ON ANOTHER BOARD, PLEASE.
Thank you.

FYI, I talked to Don at AE today and the problem was the transmission case and not the idler gear. The best test is if the transmission does not sick when it's open, but does when it's closed you might have a bad transmission case. I will have the tranny in my Friday/Saturday I hope and I will update you all on how it's working.

Alright, I want to know if that solves your problem. I talked to Nick and he said the idler was to blame.
RichieRich, Don is usually on the morning. He seems a little more "seasoned" when it comes to the RC10. I am hoping to see the transmission either Saturday or Monday, I will update when I get it back.
I don't know how much longer it's gonna last (says it's a one day sale) but Amain is giving a free 5800mah 100c 2s lipo ($100 value) with a purchase of the Worlds Car.
I'm fighting myself whether or not to buy another kit,just on value alone ..... Plus, a brother always needs spare parts...
A tranny by itself is 90 bucks. A chasis, around 75....shocks...like 40 a pair...
I think I'm gonna have to pull the tigger on this one.....and I really shouldn't.
Act fast on this one, I just came across it a minute ago and I don't think there's much time left.
...........I bit the bullet. .....(n got a 2nd kit)
I really shouldn't have spent the money, but that's a damn good deal.
Worlds car and a 5800 100c 2s lipo , shipped to my door for 251 bucks.
I just recently got into rc (after having a couple as a kid) n every week moneys flying out of my pocket.
.....n now another kit, that I don't even need......Ah man,this is heinous.

I just e-mailed Nick back, and said thank you for the top shaft and shock bodies, but that my gearbox still didn't feel right.
I'll see if he thinks idler or not
it's always a sign of a good company when they step up and rectify issues like this.
Lonestar, all I did was summarise what has happened... one single post in this massive thread. I did not insult your mother. Just an observation on a cheap toy car. Echoing others comments already posted about shoddy QC. Get some perspective and get over it. Over and out.
A little side project.
I’ve had this in a drawer for a while and decided to get it cleaned.
It’s quite impressive what a thorough clean can result in.
Boiling water.
Simple green.
Toothbrush and pipe cleaners.

Final piece added.
The correct RPM springs.
If you need a pair, just send an email to RPM. They still have a stash.
I've putting together an all-in-one kit for those that want to get their boxart rere Kinwald cars a little closer to the original, or for those who are looking to make a correct replica. The kit will contain:
1 - Front shock tower in 2.5mm 3k woven...

I kinda doubt it. Too high of a material cost and I doubt the demand is there to make it worthwhile.
I need some help remembering the details from back in the day. So I have an RPM kit still in the bags never opened and I just don't have any love for it as an RPM car. Does the RPM kit actually duplicate a certain one off car or are some of the...

yes, I had one of those too bitd, flipped the front around to put the tower in front, still have some of the og deck standoffs in my box. I never detailed it to be like masamis but that is how I am leaning. I guess it's just a matter of committing...
I was just wondering if anyone is still making these chassis kits, either the NIX91 or the Justin/Fred version? Maybe someone has a spare that they'd like to sell or trade?
Thanks in advance

Actually, as another option, if you order a full set of 91 Stealth parts (Niki's for example) and this book by Steve Husting (the photos provide an excellent reference), you have pretty much everything needed to design your own chassis plates. It's...
Hi there, I recently inherited a Team Associated RC10 Worlds Car buggy from a recently deceased cousin. The car is unfortunately in a damaged state, and I would very much like to get it repaired to full working order due to the centimental value of...
