Re: Restoring my RC-10 B3

If it were me, since it's your dad's old car, I wouldn't mess with it too much (i'm a sentimental guy :wink: ). I would either restore it and display it, or build it up a little bit for some occasional vintage fun on the racetrack. If you want to get into racing, I'd buy something newer. Well it wa...

Re: Restoring my RC-10 B3

Re: Restoring my RC-10 B3

The car has good capability. Modern off road is basically bumpy/jumping on hard packed clay or carpet. So there are some newer cars with mid motor that will handle better on carpet(for sure).

Re: Restoring my RC-10 B3

First thing you want to do is download the manual if you don't already have one. https://www.teamassociated.com/cars_and_trucks/RC10B2/Team/manuals_setups/ One good thing, it looks like you already have 3/16" rear axles which will make using the modern 2.2 wheels and tires much easier. You wil...

Re: Restoring my RC-10 B3

H You actually have a B2, not a b3. While they look similar, there are more than a few differences. If you are on a budget I would tear the car down and rebuild it the way it is. I'm sure it will work fine to nuts around with for now, the only thing i see is you are missing a motor (unless you have ...
