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 got several Stealth gear boxes myself..........I noticed 4 out of 5 have a small slit at the bottom side of the gear box ........which potentially will have dirt going in .........is it a defect or the factory intentionally making such a design...
I just scored a RPM worlds car in good condition with a few scratches. Overall the car is a 8-9 out of 10. I am in the process of two separate projects one a klein arm tub car and a custom trailing arm /GT2 dual deck car. I am guessing that i could...

This is my start to a gold pan runner build. Milled the chassis at work and rounded over back of chassis where it attaches to the motor and also rounded over the nose piece and cut it the same shape as the 6309 nose. Then sanded edge of chassis all...

Added the battery strap today and got the turnbuckles and ball ends a cleaned and installed. I will eventually add titanium turnbuckles but these will be fine for now.
Time to post pics of my stuff. Here’s what’s left of my racer from 1989. I got back into RC10s after impulsively buying a nice CE on ebay last year.
The gold chassis and stealth trans are new/used from ebay as are the wheels. Regretfully, I sold my...

this is the final set of pics. I finally think I'm done with this black pan. This is the same one that's been in this thread. Got a body off ebay I'm real happy with and put in a Novak explorer II. I actually have a reedy MVP in it now, it hauls....
I've never seen a resto project of a RC10CE with the driver figurine. I remember way back when I got the RC10CE Graphite kit, there was a polycarbonate (like the body) driver figurine. I remember this because I didn't think much of it at the time,...

That little guy came in most of the RC10 kits. There are some slightly different molds of them, I know of two types. Not sure if there are others, I never really got into them very much. They never came with the bodies, you had to buy them...
I have been wanting to start a project to race on a large MX style track predominantly used by 1/8 cars and trucks. I love the way a trailing arm car runs and handles. The track is loose and rough with huge jumps. It will be a 10th scale buggy built...
Last post
What I found with my trailingarm racer was that it's difficult to get enough suspension travel without running into extreme angle or angle changes.
I Think the solution would be to use longer arms but don't have the tools to make something descent.
I have this one buggy you guys have see it a million times but now the cooler weather is moving in and im breaking my cars out to go running again. My question is which do you guys prefer the original arms that are short or the wide track a arms on...
i have a 6 gear gold pan drilled for a stealth transmission.
i cleaned the car and added radio gear ; itll run fine for a few feet then it starts to slip .. the pinion is spinning the spur, but the car is not moving.
you pick the car up, the rear...

Is it making a low groaning sound of a higher whining sound? The low groan indicates the diff is loose, and the high whine indicates the slipper is loose.
When the car is on the ground and spur gear is spinning, is the nut on the end of the shaft...

Thanks man! I think I'm going to leave it alone. Bought enough parts, and have enough B4 parts to make another runner out of that cut up gold tub! :wink:

I found the wheels at my LHS and they seemed to have right offset for RC10 and later B2/B3.
parts # is Hongnor TM-49Y or Ofna #40849 wheels for CRT.5. and just checked they are listed on ebay also
Just wondering who made this shock tower and if it was of any importance. I was wanting to dye it black for my graphite runner I am building but did not want to mess up another valuable piece like I did yesterday. I accidently put one of my long...

Not sure of the value but there are a LOT more AE towers floating around than Hot Trick...............
Ok I'm putting a stealth from an rc10t4.1 on my A-stamp and I'm wondering if I can use the slipper clutch from my original 6 gear or if i need to order an all new slipper clutch? Thanks in advance for any help.
Here is the start to my project racer. I started with a Composite Craft graphite chassis that I drilled for the Stealth transmission. All of the nylon was already dyed, but very poorly, so I re-dyed it all. I used Andy's arms front and rear, Houge...

I see that should probably be interpreted to say that J's were around earlier (Novaks and such), but maybe 1991 was when the G was finally totally out?
I think you are 100% correct with that one. I never could figure out why they made the change...

Not sure what I'm going to do with it yet? Might rebuild, might leave it alone and fix the hacked up body for a shelf queen. My buddy wants me to run it! I was like, WHAT are you nuts !! :lol: I need to build a what's old, is new runner first, then...
Here is a picture of my B44 with my RC10 MIP 410L.

Being a big fan of the Losi XX, I was never really into the RC10 buggy, until you guys made a fan out of me with some sweet RC10 (Old is New) buggy builds, I had to have my own copy of those cars. After some research, and bugging some of you guys on...

crap freddy, after seeing all the builds and then this one i need to get my but i gear and get a rc10 going.
the jrx2 purchase put the rc10 build on the back burner for a while, although i did just bid on a graphite chassis for the rc10.
Well, here is a TQ10 project I have been working on. Picked it up off of the bay a while back. It was in pretty rough shape when I got it. and decided to go in a little different direction, as the front of the chassis was pretty shredded. I decided...

Good! Glad to see it got to you in good shape. That build has inspired me to look at modifying one of my tub chassis racers to see how it works compared to the original front. Someday soon... -Jeff

5000 is still only 100 per state,( or 15 per avg county ) sounds easily feasible in 1984 to me
Yes - put that way Cds, such initial sales does sound reasonable - especially given Associated's known reputation within the R/C community with their...
Picked this up on the bay for $49. Hated to do it but painted the beat up chassis. Found a GREAT site- to make white parts whiter :wink: And here we are so far. I'll keep you posted as i move along with this.
I have been searching everywhere to find an exact answer i am looking for. Team car rear arms using the b2/3 CVD kit, do i need to use b4 axles or are the b2/3 long enough? Are b4 axles used to get more drop out of it or is it just needed. Also what...
Last post
Thanks for the responses. I guess what i was asking was it seems that using complete B3 CVD KIT With proper droop, The bone would be short. I was wondering if the b4 Axles helped lenghten this. Sorry for not being clear. Thanks

I just got a vintage team associated RC 10, it all seems to work ok, but i noticed the front arm is broken. Is there a good spot to look for parts other than ebay? I looked there and they want 5.00 for the arm and 20.00 to ship it, which is...

is there a set of compatible arms, i could just change all 4 of them
I'm going to list my RC10 FrankenT on ebay but was curious what chassis it has on it. I think it's a buggy chassis converted to truck use, based on the age of everything I got in the lot (approx. 1987 or earlier).
If I have this info when I list it...

You better sell that astroflight moter separately
I already have. ;)
I'm honestly surprised no one has bought this truck yet. I think the price is right. Oh well, eBay should net me more anyway.
Hey guys here's a quick pic (in poor lighting :) ) of the current status. The front tires are temps. They are Traxxas ribs that are simply GIGANTIC and look silly. There's a stealth transmission bolted on there too along with MIP CVDs :)

After sitting in a box for about 18 years, I recently got inspired to ressurect my Team Car.

I just recived this in the mail - purchased it off of craigslist in L.A.

As Scr8p suggests - I filed my strap down at the back, into a wedge shape so that it tucked better between the battery & the bulkhead cup, however as i'm running the front battery 'cup' further forward (so as to fit in the longer LiPo battery) I...

Steve it gets better. In the late 80’s or early 90’s all new Arizona Driver Licenses used the Social Security Number as the Drivers License. Several years later Arizona realized that wasn’t a good idea, and re-issued new licenses without the Social...
