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...

Question I haven't found a firm answer for... it seems some RC10's have much whiter Nylon than others. I'm not talking about dirt or oxidation/aging etc.. just simply as they came some cars had much whiter nylon. I know this because I was fortunate...
can crp's tamiya to kyosho adapters work on a rc10 wheel bearing/rims?
Last post
the crp adaptors are for mounting tamiya wheels with 5x11 bearings . i have used these to mount the tamiya rims and tires from a grasshopper or frog rims. can crp's tamiya to kyosho adapters work on a rc10 wheel bearing/rims?
Hi guys -- I have a couple of noob questions (searches did not yield info.):
1. Do the Associated Pro Buggy Bodies sold at Tower include window masks? If not, do you guys just use the old fashioned tape method? I'm amazed at the intricate detail...

here is a bunch of info on painting bodies, take a look at page 1 of that thread for some awesome paint.
Hi I'm restoring a old RC10 and have a new body that came with it. Trouble is some prat drilled a hole in the middle of the hood..at first I thought it was for mounting but it isn't. Anyway been looking on ebay for a new one and can't decide which...

Ok thanks I have noticed some on Ebay saying that they are the Protech body..did Associated not make their own bodies back then?
The bodies were one of the few things that Associated actually did make in-house... Currently the majority of...

Cheers for all of the help guys..I'm going to put it in a Big Boys Toys sprintcar when it arrives..will keep you guys updated
Did the Early 10s come with 4 Spring Cups, or Cups on the Rear, and Unsplit Perches on the Front? Would Unsplit Perches be correct for Edinger?
Last post
the edinger cars has solid spring cups. the early ones had larger diameter cups on the back.
if you search for early edinger , there's like 6 pages of topics. a lot of them will answer anything you would need to know about what's correct and what's...

Ok, are there any variations on the World's rear wheels?

I thought it could be cool to share this new project, well it's far away from a scoop, but the Tekin chassis conversion is way cool IMO, though not the best looking RC10 (the ugliest according to some people).
So I snagged 3 Tekin chassis...

It looks like some variation of a watts link, but on an IRS.
I won this on E-bay a couple of weeks ago. Even though the seller claimed it had a stealth trans you could tell by the fuzzy pics that it didn't. I got it for a decent price so that didn't bother me. I would like some help identifying the body...

Hey everyone! Very cool that there is a vintage RC10 buggy forum. I've seen some great looking buggys here. I originally bought this buggy from a friend back in the early 90s. This buggy has been sitting in a Kyosho bag for at least 15 years.

I knew there was something funny about that Nose. Were the Graphite Chassis' never supposed to have a Nose Plate?
Sounds like something I might have come up with, considering something I have going right now. :wink:
I've finally got around to looking for a mid '80's RC10 buggy and have found one locally going at a good price.
Can someone date this sucker?
My economic forecast for 2009 looks bleak if I win this buggy:shock:

What were the tires that wer on the boxart of the Graphite RC10? Obviously a 2.0 with small pin knobbies. But who makes them and what were they called?
Thanks fellas
Last post
yup, the tq-76. those and the tq-20's are the kit tq-10 tires, and the tires on the car on the side of the rc10 graphite box. the rc10 graphite kit tires were the tq-71 and tq-21, and also what's on the cover boxart.
I haven't displayed any of my cars here in the Buggy Forum and this one is the most complete I have. By that I mean everything but the body and I have a number but haven't decided on which one to use and I probably am procrastinating because I love...
I was poking around the bowels of the internet and stumbled upon a very,very cool body for the RC10.
Behold-The Hot Bodies 'Stealth Bomber'!
Sexy,or what? Very futuristic,for the time.
Looks like my X-6 body.

Hey guys, this one has been completed for months. You may have seen pics already at tamiyaclub. Early in the year I emptied a hobby shop in the central valley of most of its RC10 parts. The results are this car and another one that's still in it's...

hi guys racer88 is offering some painted bodies on ebay right now. i'm wondering if the rough rider
body he sells is the same as the funco body that sits on the rc10 (they could be repros by mr.lexan :?: ). is there a difference between the original...

It's not obvious on the picture you posted Al, but to fit that Funco body on a tub chassis you would need to trim the rear part of the side pods, which also means you can move the body forward in order to eliminate the front gap...

For the factory team shafts, the fronts are .71 #6418 and rears are 1.02 #6417. I usually get these from towerhobbies.com.

That rough chassis already has character, mixing well-chosen options of different brands, kind of like an original hot-mod. I can't help but liking the rat-style rod's and custom cars. A fine example:

Most of my stuff is old school, but I recently got a B3(kinda old school) on ebay and it's time for new wheels. When shopping for wheels are the B3 and B4 wheels inter-changeable? Thanks in advance
