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

A small update... After two sets of tires, Tired the Duratrax and the front bearing carriers blew out, tried their rear and the pins spun out of the hubs, tried the B4 compatibles, fronts going strong, but have a neg offset, and I have blown out one of the rears(lock nut backed off...) So... I need ...

My Traxxas 10 turn 3500kv acts more like a 6 or 8 turn modified motor...

I built a RC10 Team gold pan with the intention of street and backyard bashing. (no flames please- I bought the car for an 18pack of Coors Light from a friend!) My first purchase was a 7.4V 30C 5000Ma LiPO and a Traxxas VXL-3s/ Velineon 3500 brushless motor kit 81spur and 21pinion (I think thats wha...

Same grouping for the motor plates, usually the gold plates are 6 gear, the black are 2.25 and 10T stealth trans, then the flat plates are for the newer stealths. I tried a gold plate on a stealth and it 'can' be made to work, but a drill bit and a tap 4-40 tap are needed.

It's been January since an update with pictures was requested and promised, but I'm not seeing it . I am hoping that my assumption that this post was looked at this year, that all the numbers work. I also assume that the B4 style spur is needed as well for compatibility with the listed parts? Thanks...

Honestly check ur bearing make sure they aren't worn out and use the 4th gen top shaft and slipper and make sure everything is cleaned and properly lubed and u should be fine So the 4th gen slipper is the newer B4, right? So after some searching, the list of 'extreme duty mods' are the following: -...

Ah yes the slipper. I found it...and tightened! I know this is bad, but the urge to pull rolling wheelies is too tempting! I think the diff is just used and needs a rebuild. I am also thinking towards the future, when getting parts will become increasingly difficult... like my other passion... a 74 ...

Since I just got here I have been doing some investigative searching. I can see the outdrives as being a liability on the stealth tranny and more importantly a wear item-along with the dogbones/CVD's....I can find GT gears all day long online and newer B4 slippers fit if the right upper shaft is use...

So am I 'stuck' with a stock gear or are there any upgraded parts I can try to search for?

Thank you for the info!

New to the forum and this is my official first post after the admins approved me... I just stumbled across a gold pan RC10, I believe it's a CE edition, as it has the Stealth tranny, gold pan, but also green bodied shocks. Seeing as my first original circa 1988 or so RC10 was terribly slow when I wa...
