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...
After years of searching, finally... :D :D Edi restore thread soon - stay tuned. :wink:

Coming back to tires, the Goodyear ones were definitely made by AYK or coming through one of their suppliers. Here are some pics from present evilpay auctions:

Right, i'm just about to start on a project to build myself up a runner car (hoping to race it against the modern stuff - B4s etc) From a Worlds car I brought off ebay some time ago.

I've got one someone drilled full of gigantic holes that I've been wondering what to do with! Not sure this would stand up to being cut down, if you see what I mean. :lol:
Hi everyone. I'm glad to have found your forum. I've been cruising around it for the past few days absorbing some info.
I'm 36 and grew up with a Galaxy car. I'm not sure if anyone is familiar with it, but it was similar in quality I guess you...

Welcome to the board – and back to the hobby!
My return to the hobby had a lot to do with having my son, too. He started driving when he was about 3 with a 10T truck I cobbled together. It’s been a great bonding opportunity for us.
I was thinking last night, and it occured to me that I don't remember seeing any pro or top level drivers running an AE graphite chassis in competition? some twin deck stuff like masami, or modded/worlds tubs like BK, But did any pros run the AE...

Hey, everyone. How's it going? I am new to the site and I just got back into using my RC10 Graphite Team Car after about 10+ years. I just rebuilt the whole car and it is in great shape. However, there are some problems I am having with the car....

The shaft and nut move in/out and up/down very slightly. I think this might be causing the spur gear to wobble. Are these normal tolerances? Or should the shaft not move at all? I'm thinking of putting in a new drive gear and shaft to see if it goes...
This is a car I got free by winning an eBay auction for a Futaba Magnum Senior radio. I got a message saying that the seller had an old car and he was sending it along in the package. The gold chassis car below is what I received. Hardly a mark on...

Great looking cars. I especially like the blue aluminum pan. Is that a team car setup you have or something else?

Hello, I wanted to know what year or model so I can put the year appropriate hop-ups and/or bodies on it for the shelf :mrgreen:
Any help would be appreciated.

This body looks nicely used and fits well. What do u think?
My grandson came for a 3 week visit and he was promised he could help build an RC10 for his own use . We started with the premise that this was to be a runner not a shelfer but maybe still could look nice. I was a little surprised how much time it...

Thanks a lot! My nephew keeps crashing my car so we're gonna build him a basher out of spare parts. He's 9 and still leanring but yesterday he jumped my runner over 6 ft high! :shock:
Do the Jconcept rulux wheels have a pin or hex drive for say, a B4, and B44?
can anyone take a quick offset measurement on the b4 rear and/or b44 front wheel?
thanks in advance!

The red wheels I thought to be carson are really tamiya I found out last night: from the mad fighter model.
Team crp also makes a front axle for the original RC10 to mount 5mm tamiya wheels by the way.

All I can say is, WOW! What a great collection! I am particularly jealous of the early RC10.

A very nice start. I love my B2 runner that I made the other day, but RC10resto is correct, B2 parts are getting harder and harder to find! So if you are racing this car, find extra front shock towers, switch your top plate for a B3 one and save the...

just a bit of fyi, if the track has any sort of traction at all you are really going to fight with the offset arm thing (Ive never tired it on a loose track, but traditionally thats the only place where you see offest arm cars). More specifically...

I recently decided to re-build an RC-10 to what I once used to own.

Remaining unseen from my wife. As long as its unseen she forgets I have a collection. That is at least until we find a house to move into. Not very much space in a 700sq ft apt.

It helps if you show up in person. They even un-soldered the wires for me so I didn't lose my plugs.

Hello all. I was wondering if anyone knew of any online retailers that still stock parts for the 2.25 stealth tranny? I looked at another post on this forum that had some links to Tower Hobbies and I searched tower but to no avail.
as the title says what are the advantages.have noticed alot of guys running them on there old is new cars and was considering whether or not to get one for mine(in progress),any insight would be great :D
Last post
The main purpose is to get the body lower. The shock mounting positions aren't really ideal for a buggy, but seem to work ok.
