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 saw this on redrc from the jconcepts race, it's not mine, but the dude who built it did a kick ass job. If he is a member on this forum, I would be stoked to hear more about the car.

I can’t believe that I missed this thread, from 2014! I built my first mid motor graphite conversion around 2015. Nothing close to this level though!
I came across an ok deal on this roller and thought it could make a good runner.

After cleaning, dying, outdrive bearing mod, and reassembly it seems to be turning out pretty well.

I've combined Tamiya and Spaz Stix paints before. But it was a Spaz Stix color change and Tamiya base (along with a Duratrax backer and stripes). However, I gave the coats plenty of time to dry.
I'm alway in doubt wether I shoud use my RC10s in bad conditions (dirt, mud, snow, skatepark...). It would be a lot of fun, but it would also be a shame to destroy original parts. So I bought a CNC Machine and I will build...

Low-Profile servos as used in modern touring cars can also be a good idea.

Mine started in exactly the same way with a bare chassis a few spare parts I had. The rest I purchased as & when they came up at a reasonable price.

While searching ebay, I came across this pile of Team Car parts. Since I had most of the parts needed, I decided to go ahead and rebuild it. And since I don't actually have a Team Car, it made the decision easier.

I like the paint job and the Protech body. Your color scheme gives me a better idea of both the shape and fitment of the body on the RC10. Thanks for sharing!
As per title im just getting back into racing after 25 years away. Ive got a B6.1 but my local club also runs vintage races so Im thinking of campaigning one of my old RC10 team cars. First question is parts availability seems pretty sparse for...

This is a mid motor conversion from Advanced Racing. Haven't seen another one of these on the board so I thought I would post the build. Need to verify the date of this conversion in the old rcca ads but I am thinking late eighties. Maybe someone...

Honestly, most of my cars don't have the mod. I don't run them very hard or often.
But in the event that I decided to, I have several old bearings that can be sacrificed.
Is this a rare weave pattern? I have several graphite chassis and this is the only one like this I've ever seen, anyone else have this weave pattern?

Yeah production variation was pretty constant. I'm sure it's a less common part, but hesitate to say it's worth more or less than any other graphite chassis(other than the very late version that was shaped differently). If it's in great condition,...

I'm a bit in doubt, if I should use metric hardware (M3, M4 screws, 3mm hingepins) or US (4-40 and 3-32 and 1/8 hingepins).
US has more style an original look.
Metric is easier to find. And I would have some 3mm titanium rods for the hingepins,...

I am going the route if 'I want this guy to run' :-D
They don't need to be the original hardware. So if they are black, white, orange, pink cups, it is fine to me (I might need to get a new shell to match is all :-D)
I bought another car from the original owner. He was only about 25 miles from me.
It’s got quite a few scratches on the original chassis and the one it’s currently fitted with. From what I was able to look up, it looks like maybe a Trinity...

Thanks for the feedback guys. I’m working so much, it seems all I have to do is find a car or truck, but haven’t had time to clean them up or get them running.
Part of the fun for me is finding them anyway. So I can’t complain!
I have wanted one of these since my best friend from childhood had one in the late 80's. I picked this up on eBay last night, hope I didnt get hurt too bad at $300. It was advertised as an A stamp Andy's edition . What can you all tell me about this...

@ jwscab Yeah, FB's algorithm always adjusts things so you gotta respond right then or you'll never find it again.

I guess it is more of a UK thing as it was the British take on a 4wd RC10 conversion. As such - right up my street though and I have been wanting one since 1988. They were hellishly expensive back then, plus also most sold as pre-orders before they...

Not cheap , but cheaper than what ebay sellers ask for originals.

They sell several different RC10 wheels. I'm sure they have the matching bearings as well.
