RC10Talk - The Net's Largest Vintage R/C Community

Big update for everyone - she runs!!! I ended up doing the same thing for the rear that I did for the front because it was pretty expensive to get things from the UK. That turned out to be blessing because then I was able to just order adjustable rear axles off of amazon and throw them in (photo of ...

Updates for everyone: 1) The 3D-printed spacers worked wonderfully for the shocks. There certainly is less travel than before but the car still has enough range in the suspension for me to be happy. 2) I've gotten a start on figuring out what to do for some traditionally metal parts on the car. The ...

It's been a bit since I updated but I think you all deserve to see what progress has been made. Since my last post, I installed all of the tie rods on the front and back. That went pretty well! The front steering has a little bit more slop than I'd like, but that can be attributed to the imprecision...

You can use some spacers on the shock shafts on the internal of the shock to reduce the length. What a great idea! I'll be taking the shocks apart this afternoon to design spacers. What length are the shocks, eye to eye? Even original RC10 rear shocks were too long. You typically needed 5/8-3/4&quo...

Edit: Accidentally posted the same thing twice - how does one delete a post?

May not be the exact same listing but a set like that was the first thing under "rc10 shocks", and this was also included. Screenshot_20230425_142335_eBay.jpg You sir have done more homework than I did. That's my failure. To be honest I'm not really concerned. The shorter shocks are about...

Another update for everyone - I've continued to have success with tapping different parts for mounting. The nose arrived so it's starting to actually look like it could be an RC car now. I noticed that the shocks that I got seem to be too long for the car. The eBay listing specifically said that the...

For drag racing diff lockers are an upgrade. You'll lose performance when you need to turn, but it's not like anything will explode. 3000kv at 10v seems about right. Older RTR cars came with 30,000 rpm brushed motors so that doesn't seem out of line. Glad to hear that I can run without the diff. I'...

Thank you to everyone who replied! I'll respond to everyone here. Welcome! If you indeed have an original no stamp edinger rc10 you should pick up an inexpensive used rc10 chassis. The no stamp is one of the rarest parts. 4s 14v is to much for just about any 1/10 buggy. It's a lot of power and could...

Intro & Background Hello everyone - I'm new here (as you can probably tell) so forgive me if I commit any infractions to unspoken rules. I read the forum rules and I think I've got everything down correctly. The background to this is that my dad gave me his RC10 buggy that we had last ran about...
