Hello All. I've had an interest in vintage RC10s ever since I remember reading about the worlds and RC10T kits in the magazines as a kid. I figured now is a good time to get into it with the ReRes out. I just traced a TC4 for what you see in the pics, minus the small lot of electronics that came with them. The one car is a full runner but could use some TLC. The other is incomplete but the chassis is in very good shape. It just needs some front end parts and a bunch of screws. I don't know what the stampings are yet since I haven't pulled the motors out. In the electronics lot I have an Associated stock motor, and there is a Yokomo and Kyosho motor installed on the cars. The ESCs are a Novak Rooster and Tekin Rebel, two of the best brushed ESCs that were ever released IMO. There is also a Futaba AM TX with a few receivers and a couple old Futaba ESCs.
I have been thinking of what to do with them. My plan right now is to use the better chassis for a shelfer and to do some mods to the runner. The bottom of the runner shows that it has been used a lot over the years but I have a plan on how to freshen it up. The shelfer I plan to keep as original as possible. I need to figure out how to get the paint off of the jelly bean front wheels and freshen the rubber of the tires. I will need to get some jelly bean rears to match. The steering setup on the runner is horrid and I will be looking for suggestions on how to properly fix it.

I have my RC10 put back together. When I started this I thought that I was going to do some kind of wild monster tire truggy kind of thing. However as I took it apart and saw how nice everything really was I wanted to put it back as it was. I...

New forum member. I was hoping to get some advice on restoring an old gold pan RC10 back to running condition. The car is in good condition with Novak electronics and looks to be a pole position brushed motor. Tires are dry rotted from sitting over...

The 's' (as in 2s) are the number of cells, each are 3.7 volts, so a 2s battery is 7.4 volts (equal to the old 6 cell 7.2 nicd/nimh). The mAh is the capacity of the battery, the higher the number the longer the run time (also adds weight). The 'C'...

Looks very nice. If you decide to run it, you may want to install a scratched up chassis or install a chassis protector. The A-Stamp chassis is hard to find in that condition.
Decided to cut some slots in a gold pan and install a trailing arm kit. I have thought about this project for awhile, just couldn't bring myself to cut into the tub with the possibility of messing it up. Turned out to be really easy with a drill bit...

Looking really nice - great job. Would love some pics for the new web site I am working on if I could get some. We released the first trailing arm kit for RC10, it was this tube conversion, back in mid 1988 and we released the lethal weapon about 5...
I managed to score a A pan six gear car this weekend for $60 from my brother. I hope to take this :
And make it look (sort of) like this:
It's my first RC10 from ~1987-89 time frame. The pics are two different vintages of it. I had dyed all...

OK, I ended up finding a chassis that was a dead ringer for my old car, and I gave a half hearted effort into finding the Texaco decals but came up short. I put this together mainly as a rebuild to sell but I think it's a close replication of the...
