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...
Anyone know what make these are ? Would they have had foams glued to them ? DA6ECC37-7CDE-4189-BB52-0223100EF44D.jpeg

@MarkyDents, did you ever get tires for these?
I'm trying to get the 5 bean version of these Mini-Mags reproduced, would you mind if I used your excellent pics to show the machinist how it was done? Can I also use your pics for reference in my, RC...
Can someone point me in the right direction as to a good set of snap ring pliers that fit these shocks without modding? I bought a set at Harbor Freight with multiple attachments but non worked for me. Thanks
If these parts ever become available, does anyone know the cost effectiveness of having them anodized to match the classic RC10 gold?

They have been for sale, the website is sold out now though.
I searched a few times since they had the clear announced and nothing ever showed up. Did they actually have stock? I know I missed the gold re-release parts by a bunch of years, but I...
I acquired a new build buggy from mikea96 several years ago. I was very pleased with his vision, but the purist in me decided to strip it down and make it an AE parts car only. The pic below shows some of the original parts that were sourced. Neon...

I think we’ve recently spoken about this build🤔 it’s about time this thing gets some love. Nice to see a nice clean build using AE parts sprinkled with some hop up. Excited to see it come together
So I am trying to rebuild an old early model Competition Edition and as I am going through some of the old nylon parts I am finding what looks like little tears where pins and screws have been. Was wondering if this is a common thing with these...

FanRC parts are great stand ins for original parts, and half the price on those rear arm mounts. Just depends on what your build will be. For a shelf car id go original but for a runner, brand new parts for less money is the way to go.
Fan RC has been releasing several molded parts. They look great
Here is a link in case you get curious

So now that these have been ran how are all these parts holding up? I might find myself having to turn to some of them for my rebuild but don't want to waste time on something that's just going to snap with general use. they look great but I am...

Last night I did a test cut for a Brian Kinwald 93 worlds style rear shock tower as close as I can reasonably get it I think. Let me know what you think.
Last post
This took a lot longer than I wanted, but the 93 Kinwald towers are going on eBay today made from 0.072” iridium carbon. Obviously, these are going to be fairly limited being a niche item, but if you are looking for one, check my eBay store.

Yes, it is! Its pretty good quality too. Thank you!

I only mention replacing the bushings because they can stain the white parts and a car with bearings just fits together so much better :wink:

Came across this guy. Is this a McAllister conversion?
Also has quite a few Andy's parts as well.
I decided to cracked open my B2-B3 conversion kit but after some heavy breathing and humming and hawing, I decided to leave my B2 alone and not convert it.
So now I've been considering to build up a RC10 B3 from the RC10B2-B3 conversion kit -...

It will be a runner, I am just waiting for the last part - a battery strap of all things. I could only find the Thundertiger version and it has had to come all the way from Australia.

I believe that Tamiya Hornet rear tires will fit on the three piece Jellybean wheels.
To start this off, I would 1st like to congratulate Jay Halsey himself on winning the 1st ever IFMAR OffRoad Worlds in 2WD, and sending the RC10 and RC World into a spiral of evolution that has taken the RC10 to many subsequent World Championships!...

I’m jealous that you still have your first RC. I sold my first and I would love to have my Rc10gt rtr, but I’ve replaced it in my adulthood with others, but there is something about all the others I’ve had the won’t ever match my first one. Congrats...
With a couple of projects nearing completion I've been collecting parts for another. Finding a nice black chassis seems to be difficult and $$$, so this is another build where I will be taking the long way around again making an equivalent to the...

It's an upgrade for sure.
Although I have several Tekin esc's and receivers, I agree. Calling them finicky would be mild.
Not to blow past that impeccable and periodly painted paint, but the body itself is really cool. It's kinda wild that IFMAR doesn't allow, say, a vent flap cut into the body unless it is originally molded/part of the body. I remember an A&L body...
Hi and apologies if this has been asked before but I couldn't get anything useful from the search.
When was the first aftermarket Graphite or Carbon chassis released?

Bolink listed graphite material and a chassis in their 1982 catalog, and I'm certain other onroad cars were using it well before that.
Hi all, just wanted to share my blue carbon fiber shock towers I made today for my A stamp car. I think the blue works well with the gold. Also blue is my favorite color so that’s a thing too. Let me know what you think.

That's a pretty clean looking buggy. What sort of paint job is going with this? The blue is cool but it would be nice to tie it in with some other blue. How thick are your parts? If thicker than OEM, do the ball cups in the steering bell crank area...

Hey Lavigna - I know this is an old thread but I have questions!
What did you use for these items:
Rear Shock Tower
Battery Hold Down
Ball Ends / Turnbuckles
Did you use the MST ball nuts on front AND rear inside link spots?
What size front tires/wheels did the graphite car come with stock? Want to make sure I’m looking for and buying the right size tires for the stock wheels..
Also if you have a newish pair that will work let me know!!
Thx

If you don't care about tread patterns, Traxxas still makes a step-pin front and Schumacher has a couple rears.
Some of the re-re Tamiya's might also have options.

Did you decide against doing the outdrive bearing mod? That no longer requires the felt seals.

Possibly. I've got other stuff I want to pick up that is higher priority right now.
