This is a tribute to the great line of RC10 buggies produced since 1984-2009 (RC10 - RC10B4). This is a work in progress. It will take some time and help from fellow members, as we all learn new things about the different versions. So please be...

I will venture to say that I'm like 99% positive that someone lifted the stealth trans out of that CE. All the other pieces fit for it to have had one originally.
Considering the chassis is in pretty good shape and the overall condition of the...

Curtis and I have been emailing back and forth quite a bit thanks to Gene for getting our emails to each other, after messaging Gene.
During this time we spoke about the development of the RC10 cars and also regarding the wing for his Box Art car,...

It's so incredibly cool to see these cars after all of these years!
Some of you had a look to my replica of the Brian's 1993 World Winning RC10 Team Car.
Probably less knows than the car was stollen few weeks after the race, in Japan, during the Reedy Race.
After their domination at the 85 race, what was the race story for Team Associated losing in 1987?
Do we have closeup pictures of what Team Associated raced with? I see that the MIP RC10 placed 4th below...

KnK has excellent hardware. I've bought kits and bulk hardware and spacers for them, no complaints.
Here's the base for an upcoming build.

Yes, the Mip bottom loaders became available in or around Aug. 1990 according to the old RCCA ad I posted earlier. This date would be right around the time AE Team hard ano shocks hit the market. I opted to use them since you don't really see them...

Really nice collection. Like the B6 tribute orange paint job - Great!

Thank you! I recently finished that tribute and here is the post about it I'm going to change a few things on the B6 wing to better match the original.
I have a chance to buy what the owner claims is a never run, Edinger RC10 with box and everything with it, motor and electronics still in bags. Only the body had been painted. His pictures support this claim, but wondering if worth the 600 dollar...

Nice find. It’s a chunk of change for sure but if you were really looking to have a complete kit it sure saves a lot of time to find everything in one lot like this.
I’ll be looking forward to seeing the rebuild pictures of this.

There was a sort of plated version that flaked off, olive drab, then the powder coated ones you have.
With the trans brace you have, a 6 hole front tower would probably be best. Early stealth trans cars had a 6 gear brace with 2 new holes added for...

Some more front end work done. After I put in the steering servo I'll add the top plate. That funky bell crank angle is intentional. That's how this buggy apparently was run BITD.

I figured the only way to get a coffin chassis RC10 Graphite is to have a replica chassis made. Since I have an extra later model RC10 Graphite in nice condition, it seems like a good option for the making a coffin chassis style buggy.

The RC10 has such a wide nose plate, it's just like it's made to be tinkered with. So why not do a lay down front suspension?

This was the first RC10GX (NIB) I ever saw auctioned off in Japan. It is the earliest version of the RC10-GX. The main difference between this and the US spec is the inclusion of Yokomo aluminum wheel adaptors for Yokomo 2.15 inch rear wheels, extra...

For something sitting on the shelf, paint works fine. Otherwise, as scr8p said, you can find most standard shock stuff still around.
It won't be immediate but with a little patience you will find what you need.
The Losi family has had a strong connection to Team Associated and the RC10. The question has been asked, what if there was a pan chassis RC10 that came before the RC10B2, and the results are really cool. Multiple people have done excellent builds...
