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

^ Lol thanks Retro rc. I've spent a lot of time and money sourcing all these parts. Here is a small update to this build. I added these vintage aluminum wing mounts. I've been meaning to make this change for a long time but just couldn't decide how I wanted it. It looks like such a simple setup, but...

Well, I was fortunate to find this long CC Worlds chassis. Here it is in comparison to my original short chassis. The top plates are identical. This latest chassis wasn't brand new. It came from a very crusty buggy. I could tell it was free from scratches and damage. However I did discover that seve...

I got a start this evening. I finally decided on this vintage RPM steering rack. I was torn between A&L, Composite Craft, or Jconcepts steering setups, but I think this will fit well.

^ MarkyDents - Thanks. I am using all aluminum hardware on this build. Most of it is from FastenerExpress. Servo mounted. I don't love the angle of the rod from the servo to the rack, but this seems the only way to make it fit in this chassis. Has anyone been able to get a straighter setup in this c...

^ Juicedcoupe - Thanks for the suggestions. The offset ball link is a great idea. I will have to look into my crawler stuff and see what I have. Here is my modified steering setup, meant to be as close as I can get to an RPM enhanced steering kit. I hope to find a real RPM kit someday, but until the...

I put on these machined Klein arms. I was originally going to use white RPM arms, but I think I prefer the look of these. Also, there seem to be plenty of other CC RC10s with RPM arms already, so this is hopefully a little different. I wanted to show off my sanded and polished front brace. My light ...

^ MarkyDents - Thanks! The front hubs and spindles come from a Losi NXT. The shape of their hub is very close to the RPM units. I cut down the spindles to match the buggy length. I was excited to use one of these colorful neoprene dust covers on the transmission, but that meant it would cover these ...

I am wondering if a white Stealth transmission case may look better than the black? Any suggestions?

Thanks

^ XLR8 - That name sounds familiar. Sucks to hear about his health issues. Hope he's feeling better and back on here soon. I got the shocks mounted. I never would have thought they would have been so difficult and take so much time to get mounted correctly. The length of the rears were way too long....

Beautiful A&L transmission case in blue. I've wanted one for years.

I got this project pretty far today. I swapped on these Trinity 5 spoke wheels. I prefer them to the pink clones.

Electronics aren't wired yet. Just waiting on the body now.

Thanks buddy! Do you need my address to send the CC brace to? I wish I had one.

I can't help the member above, but here are some pictures of my original RC10T circa 1993 I think. I still have the truck and it has been fully rebuilt.

^ Thanks TRX-1! I searched my stash and found these transmission braces. All of these are different. I decided to install this one that I believe I got from a member on here a couple of years ago. I believe he made it. I prefer the look of braces that are without the hole for the body post. Also, th...

Big upgrade with these beautiful vintage Trinity shocks. I received them as shown below. I then added some gold shafts and alloy bottom spring retainers.
