Re: Peak Performance...How high is it and how do we get there???
Obessed, thats weird...When I was a kid, my RC10 was one of three cars I had in my stable, along side my Blackfoot and my Frog! I suppose great minds do think alike :wink: I am super excited about this build too...I can't wait to head back down to the beach, and see that old school 70's-style-dune-b...

Re: Peak Performance...How high is it and how do we get there???
Wow, 66 views and only one response from someone other than myself. I was hoping for a little more guidance than that. I hope I didn't offend any purists on here with my quest for speed. Let me make this clear...I am not hacking up my mint A-stamp Edinger car to make this missile. I have a couple of...

Re: Peak Performance...How high is it and how do we get there???
I'm talking about a mixed bag, but mainly: (1)wide open beach bashing with a couple heavily modded Slashes and SC10s, (2)terrorizing of parking lots, baseball fields, and golf courses along with the same Slash/SC10 competition, and (3)some free time on a very large, very smooth, well-groomed offroad...

Peak Performance...How high is it and how do we get there???
In real world terms, what exactly is the best we can get out of these cars we love so much? How much can a speed-thirsty throttle jockey expect to milk out of these 20 year old trannies? What's the setup that got your RC10 moving like it never dreamed it could? What's the setup that went too far and...

BRP Belt Drive Tranny???
OK, tell me everything you know about this little number. I don't even remember a belt drive transmission for the RC10, but then again, I don't remember a lot of things. Anydody ever use it? How did it perform? How would you play with different gear ratios? Do I not remember it because it was a majo...

Re: '85 Gold Pan Resto-Mod...Need Some Advice Here!
Alright, the tools for the new mount holes are not a problem (I run a machine shop for a living), but the template...you say you may have one you could let go of, a01butal?! And on the wheel advice...Thanks PBR...considered those parts ordered!

Re: '85 Gold Pan Resto-Mod...Need Some Advice Here!
OK, I definitely don't want to disintegrate so Stealth it is. So, what's up with the Stealth? Are they all 2.25 internally? What's goin' on in there that makes it more durable? And this template...does it allow for super accurate drilling of the new mounting holes...and how many new holes are there?

Re: '85 Gold Pan Resto-Mod...Need Some Advice Here!
OK...I do have dogbones and I do plan on using the original hub carriers. So with that in mind, all I need as far as the wheel package is: Nitro Evader rear rims w/ 3/16" x 3/8" flanged bearings and Evader front rims? Will the stock bearings work up front with the Evader rims? How about bu...

Re: '85 Gold Pan Resto-Mod...Need Some Advice Here!
Any thoughts on these wheels I saw on eBay...they are aluminum jelly beans from seller pargu2000? He wants $111/set...they look hot and it says they are for 2.2 tires. Seems like they would be a little heavy. What are your thoughts? As for my chassis, it was raced locally back in the '80s, street an...

Re: '85 Gold Pan Resto-Mod...Need Some Advice Here!
Is the 2.25 stealth a direct bolt-on to my chassis? It is an A-stamped model. Also, I was hoping to be able to run Pro-Line Velocity discs(front & rear) and their Dirt Hawg rubbers. I really like the look and the tread pattern, since I will be doing a lot of street. Pro-Line's site says the Velo...

'85 Gold Pan Resto-Mod...Need Some Advice Here!
Hey, all! First time on the site...and this seems like the place I wanna be. I just unearthed my RC10 from the attic and I want to bring it back to life. But better...faster...stonger! The car will run as is. It is in complete original form, along with three piece wheels and Team Associated rubber. ...
