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

Since no thread is any good without pictures I'll start this one off with a picture and a story. Along the way I'll do a little RC archaeology as I dig through old track bags and parts boxes. These are the doom buggies. Well, one doom buggy and the bodies off the other. My RC10 graphite is already i...

Sunday night, my weekend is done. Time for another update. I'll break this up logically into a couple of posts so that it is easier to follow and multiple topics don't get jumbled together. First a follow up to last week's post then maybe that promised digression into some RC Archaeology (What's in ...

I've got a little window of spare time so it's time fo another update. While I was waiting for the M3 ball studs to come in and perserverating over it I tried to borrow/steal/gank the ball studs from the servo saver in my RC10L onroad car. Like most impromptu auto burglaries this did not go to plan ...

For nostalgia I dressed the buggy up in its race winning livery, or as close an approximation as I can get. This is pretty much the identical tire and wheel package that I had on the car during its first race. Trinity front wheels and tires (literally the same 30+ year old trinity tires in front). H...

The length listed is how associated refers to them so it is quite confusing for sure. The original rc10 with short front arms came with .56 front and 1.32 rears, and the rears used tubing or spacers (5/8") to limit travel The CE/Team cars came with .71 front and the same 1.32 rear limited The w...

Got the Dhawk TDP wheels yesterday, they're exactly what I ordered, beautiful craftsmanship. Tried all of the foam donuts that I had purchased in anticipation, and none of those foam donuts fit the TDP wheels yesterday. Was so bummed out over the money and time spent, to have it all not work as I ha...

I had already drilled the chassis for the standard steering servo mount location, so this building it as a standard gold pan seems right. Well, sort of standard.

For 1990 Team Associated offered racers the Team Car, their second update to the RC10, just a year after they released the RC10 Graphite to compete with the Team Losi JRX2. The Team Car came in two models, a black anodized version of the original aluminum tub chassis or the Graphite's carbon fiber c...

These are a few of my rare parts.

I recently picked up a T2 sport chassis from the ebay salvage yard with the intention of making a B1.5 woin buggy build. Its well used and scraped up but perfect for a runner. I cut it way down (1/2" at the lowest point), shortened the front of the chassis and trimmed a nose plate for now. Hone...

Yup, definitely has a b2/b3 vibe with the sides cut down. I made a little late night progress with getting the chassis drilled and nose plate mounted, I decided to mount it about an 1/8" forward from where the normal buggy length mounting holes would be, then shortened and drilled a pair of nos...

I got a tracking number as well.
