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...
Got all this swag for 20 bucks! I don't know what some of it is but it is cool! Anyone recognize the silver shocks? Is that a stealth tranny? I pretty much can tell all the original RC10 stuff which was what I was mainly after. Battery died. I can...
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

You need to put B4 hub carriers with enlarged hinge pin hole and B4 driveshafts in it to run B4 rims

I saw that wreck on eBay for 75$ and almost bought it just for those precious Kyosho shocks, but heck I don't need an other RC10 chassis :lol: good luck for you project mate, keep us posted :wink:

Just an opinion and hope to not get splatted by the forces but I'd forget about the aluminum parts if its something you want to really run hard. Aluminum looks great but it makes for an expensive 'whoops' when you hit something wrong. Aluminum bends...

The good new. I have found some one willing to reproduce the original white nylon parts. White suspension arms cost about $5 a pop but they would be undrilled. Lunsford Racing now have in stock turn buckles and screws for most RC10s.

I was cleaning out the garage the other day, and found an old RC10 Edinger Ave. box (the address is printed on the box). It is pretty beat up, but complete. Just wondering if it is worth anything (I know it may be a silly question). Thanks-Jeff
I am thinking about adding a B2 and B3 to my vintage RC10 collection. I'm still not sure yet.
What should I look for for the differences between the B2s and B3s :?: :?: :?:
Also, why do I not see any B2s around :?:

G'day everyone
I got this 90 model rc10 alittle while ago now. I still havn't driven it yet, but before I do I thought that I would make some changes. I'm a self confessed veedub nut so I had to put a vw body on the rc10.

Does anyone have any info on an RC10 conversion that came out of the Arizona area.....possibly from a company called Wizard Motors (or something like that)? From what I gather it had a 40 degree aluminum kick-up.
I'm venturing into the world on RC10 but I honestly have no clue. However it seems RC10 is fairly popular and many of the parts are still available to purchase and Team Associate seems to have a good support for these lovely vintages. I'm...

Thanks for the exploded view. I've picked up a couple stuff today but sadly he had to order the rest :(
Hopefully I can get the bearings cleaned up and re-oil team :D

Thanks for the input
I had doubts - and as I JUST picked up a NiB FT TC3 this morning and am now strapped for $$$, I'll let this one go... unless price drops big time to $120-ish I think.

i think you should wait too. Based on both front and back arms, from shock towers and the rims, it looks like a goldpan to me. A snapshot w/o the body would help a lot. Goldpans rock, but it doesn't seem like it's what you are looking for.

This is my dads original rc-10. He tried getting it runing this past summer but found that it didn't perform as it used to. the slight flat spots on the tires and lack of oil in the shocks certainly contributed to that.

first off, i'm trying to figure out why you'd want to change, and run, a new built worlds car. :?
but anyways..........
b4 wheels will work on the front of the old rc10's. but they will narrow up the track width a bit.
Has anyone tried clear window tint/film to protect the bottom of the chassis? I think this stuff comes clear to protect the hood and bumpers of 1:1 size cars. :idea:

That looks stunning I hope my one looks even just half as good when its done.
It's an oval chassis I run on one of my RC10s. I've had it so long I can't remember the manufacturer. It's more rigid and durable than anything else I have come across. It can be set very long which helps in hi-speed applications. For some reason...
