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

It’s been a while since I added a model so here is something I think worthwhile

My recently finished and fully restored Tub Team Car, I need to swap out the Worlds nose plate for a new one I have in my parts stash and fit a gear cover but other than that it’s done.

The wheels are aftermarket Pargu wheels (Korean guy Thank you, that’s interesting, I wasn’t sure how long Pargu had been making wheels, I’ve had this optima with these wheels for 8-10 years. Does the bottom of the chassis plate have countersunk holes? If yes, it's most likely a Turbo Optima Mid SE....

So Jeff, Jason and Aaron to the rescue and I now have this mocked up. Just an initial build followed by a tear down and an introduction to Mr Rit.

I have some Dynotech arms for it and as it will be a racer I’ll probably fit them although these RPM arms are obviously in used condition.

To be honest as with most if not all of my projects there’s not a lot of choice about them being from the UK, just got to go with what I have. The problems with that, I’m not always sure what I have, generally because I’m still learning about this stuff. I’ll only be dying (black) the arms and front...

I know this is an old topic but seeing that I didn’t resurrect it I’d like to comment. As some of you will know I live very close to the Fibre -Lyte facility and have worked with them on RC parts since they first started production in this field many years ago. They have supported the RC community f...

New built original and all vintage Top Cat

Well I can’t put it off any longer, these parts have been laid about for around ten years, I’ve been so embroiled in RC10s and Losis I kind of lost the love for the project.

Time to get the hammers and chisels out.

Lightly restored RC10 Graphite

So I’ve got it to a roller. I can’t decided if I’m going to stick with the NRG alloys shown or break open the NIP OEM wheels, I’m going to do a little trial fit once the body set is painted and on. I’ve got to say a special thanks to Shodog, he provided me with the main gear adaptor which for some r...

I’ve spoken to JC Racing on this topic, they will check and rectify this tolerance issue with the next production run. They were pretty happy with the fit believing it to be comparable to other manufacturers tolerances but will address and tighten it up. I have quite a few sets of the front wheels f...

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.

Just electronics to fit now and then set up. Body off for paint soon.

RPM Worlds.

I pulled the transmission from this one for another project, I have another but it needs a rebuild and B4 slipper installed.

Original Works converted all vintage (bar the shocks) Astute racer.
