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

Took it out for a maiden run today and while fun the car wasn't balanced very well for my liking. Sure it's probably fine for Johnny who is trying to learn to drive or a much slower car, but not for a quick mod car. The car had a lot of body roll which was actually quite fun at slower speeds which j...

Over a year this one has sat doing nothing but a slightly revitalised interest in the hobby has moved it on a bit. Now almost fully mocked up baring steering turnbuckles. I noticed the front bulkhead has some stripped threads so I have a replacement white RC10T bulkhead for it. I’ve installed the Ky...

Yes it is and it did.

I ordered some from MCI ill give them a shot

Heavy duty Easy Off, yellow can.

If we all step back and remember what it was exactly that made R/C so immediately fascinating, most of us would probably say it was a level of realism involved. Both Kyosho & Tamiya gave us the chance to feel what real racing was all about, but it’s much more affordable and a lot less dangerous....

The overall chassis dimensions were close enough that it seemed like 'a good idea' to move a 6 gear RC10 buggy from a heavily used A stamp chassis to a new RC10B6 91650 chassis. My standards for close enough are low though. I started by printing a gearbox that's compatible with the chassis. I'm goin...

Hi all, new to AE but have found an RC10 graphite on a site here and cant make out the transmission.
Did these have the 6 gear or Stealth transmission?
Cheers

Progress! http://i.imgur.com/XuTz44al.jpg http://i.imgur.com/yy0d6pxl.jpg http://i.imgur.com/rI60juQl.jpg I'm pretty happy with how everything turned out. The motor plate took a few revisions to get right but I was able to work it out. The center brace with the inset nuts is a bad idea so that will ...

I enjoyed this build and have some general tips for your Top Force reissue build. The Top Force was the 100th vehicle in their lineup and was the next generation 4WD racer after the Tamiya Egress. This is a shelf queen and I opted for different wheels to go along with a vivid original paint scheme. ...

After getting through the sanding process, it was time for finishing. I much rather would have done the sanding on a machine but I currently have no shop as I am working on relocating my family to a warmer climate :) PXL_20220503_143933980.jpg PXL_20220503_143944893.jpg PXL_20220503_144001464 small....

Does anyone know if there are currently and CVD's (3/16" wheels) on the market that will fit a T3?

Will the Custom Works Medium kit fit?

RC10DS dog bone length is:

46mm or 1 and 13/16 inches

The width of the dog bone from pin to pin is:

10mm or 3/8 inch

(I don't believe I'm going to say this ) The size of the BALLS are :

6mm or 2/8 inch

This process has become one of the most satisfying parts of restoring these old vehicles for me! The process of hydrating, cleaning, and whitening is tedious and boring, but the payoff is just so worth it in the long run! :wink: For medium, I use Salon Care 40 Volume Clear (liquid) or Creme (cream d...

Yeah.

Tamiya ball and pin size is slightly too large for AE cars.
