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

I just converted one myself, here is the way I recommend: remove the fan gearbox, put the diff in the front (its the correct width) source a modern rere stealth (the diff is narrower by just a tad, so you need the box and the diff) (you can use an old stealth also, but not the rere worlds or fanrc s...

Quick couple of questions @ GoMachV .. Q1. I think i'd like to convert a Fan rc car would I be able to use the fan rc ball diff in the AE 6565 style transmission case now that it's narrower? Would I need AEs newest diff outdrives or is the Fan rc diff unit OK as is? Q2. I'm pretty sure that this is ...

1) the best route with currently available parts imo is to move the FanRC diff to the front since our kit is designed around the older stealths (the rere wasnt around yet) and the wide FanRC diff won't fit the new AE case. Then grab the AE 6565 rear case and AE 6578 outdrives. You can use either Fan...

You're probably right, last car in the in the original series to be released before the B2, probably means the Worlds is on top.

Well hopefully my Facebook post might do something to get you a freebie, looks like there’s a lot of others that feel the same way about how this has gone down. All I can say is keep up the good work Jeff there are a lot of us that appreciate it

Decided to change the title since we now know more about the 4wd

I learned on a stick radio and can pick one up and drive equally terrible with it as with a pistol grip

Haven't got into it too much yet, this is it for tonight.

Gear boxes assembled, the diffs need to be shimmed. They are included in a bag with a QR code that brings you to a YouTube video to supplement the instructions.

I shimmed mine, took 2-3 shims per side. Luckily I have them on hand, they are 3/8 shims. Not sure your availability being imperial size

For apples to apples, FanRC to modern TTAE, I would personally go with FanRC for anything and everything. There is some bias there as I have worked with Cheng (FanRC) quite a bit over the past couple of years, but overall from what I have seen from the parts quality aspect, his stuff is just better....

thats what I am hearing, so long as the source you are getting it from has fresh stock.

I do have to say the FanRC FR01 really is pretty good if you don't care about it coming from a different source from the same region.

We will have Factory Works chassis braces and aluminum pulleys in a couple weeks, I think you will find them worth the wait. Don't need to be used together, but the larger pulley has more belt wrap so it slips less, and the stiffener lets you run the belt slightly looser since you don't have to acco...

PopalongRC have an interview with Craig Drescher regarding the RC10 4WD, with a very vague explanation of its history, with his own interpretation of an inline battery in his personal buggy.
