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

Hard to say what the longevity of that composite motor plate would be. I imagine if it got real bad you could run a slightly longer screw with a small thin 4/40 nut like the ones used on the steering balls. But as incredible has said, it’s strong enough for the shelf

I want one of those Ghia’s.

I’d be interested in that piece

With all the quarantine talk I elected to R/C and chill this weekend on a few projects. One of them was this buggy I bought and initially built a few years ago. This buggy was worth all the ordeal it took to get. One day while surfing Craigslist I come across a clapped out RC10 with Tecnacraft wheel...

This build has made me realize just how much time we spend on these projects. I think the dampers took me a solid 3 hours to do. From striping to polishing and then rebuilding the bottom loaders with new O-Rings. http://i247.photobucket.com/albums/gg131/shodog1/RC10%20Ascot%20Sprint%20Car/ECE927F2-B...

12 years later I finally do something with this chassis. I changed out one of the front shock bodies and a few incorrect screws. Installed a set of Tecnacraft wheels along with an Andy’s painted Protech and Thorp wing http://i247.photobucket.com/albums/gg131/shodog1/RC10%206010/91DDE452-34AC-4A48-B9...

Updating this thread to show some of the changes I’ve made. I wasn’t satisfied with the renegade body. http://i247.photobucket.com/albums/gg131/shodog1/RC10%20Tube%20Chassis/FFC81B9C-EB7B-4942-BACB-0A892C371ECD_zpsk7ivq2cf.jpg I wish it sat lower like the Protech body does. http://i247.photobucket.c...

I couldn’t locate a Porsche 962 body that fits this chassis. The 962 I did find is 200mm and will work better on a Tamiya F103 GT chassis. Luckily I was able to get a couple of bodies in the size I needed from Andy’s. A Mercedes sauber body. http://i247.photobucket.com/albums/gg131/shodog1/Andys%20b...

This is shaping up to be a sweet build. Those Rogue gear cases are nothing short of perfection. I have a couple of other aluminum gear cases and the are heads above the rest. I’ve been lucky enough to get three of them. What are your plans for the rear brace? The motor plate looks beautiful but ther...

Where are you finding all your parts?

Would like to hop up my old RS4 Sport.

Thanks

Diligent searching on eBay and Facebook groups seems the only way to find parts.

Thanks for that. Also another question, first time I’ve seen the double spur gear setup how does that work? Each spur gear has its own one way bearing. At first the larger gear is driving the gearbox. The one way bearing in the smaller spur gear allows both gears to spin at the same speed. As it re...

I have three sets of the parts. They're pretty nice parts but have a few caveats. The rear arms and mounts need a little finessing to get them working smoothly. The front steering linkage are metric so the screws really don’t work with the chassis. I had issues fitting an outer bearing in the 6 gear...

If you want a bulletproof runner then get something new that your hobby shop stocks spares. That way you don’t have to worry when you break it.

As for your RC10 just stock up on rear arm mounts, steering knuckles and uprights. Those are the items that usually get broken in the course of running.

I still go to sheldons but not as much as I used to. Not much RC10 stuff left really. NorCal is all about new stuff, no vintage. I like JJ customs which is great for crawler stuff

I waffled on buying one of these. It’s hard to justify one when I have a vintage new build to finish and another one to restore. In the end I just couldn’t pass up one at this price. From what I’ve seen, the rere is so much more improved over the original. http://i247.photobucket.com/albums/gg131/sh...
