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:

AYK Buffalo, engine version with logo: (guy is asking a fair price for this one)...

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:

i swear ive seen that before somewhere.....

Yeah I was shocked it went that high.

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.

The rear...

remember cliff lett's rc10 graphite dirt oval racer from the ads?

the graphite chassis' wouldn't last long on the bumpier and big jump tracks.
after a couple of hard landings or running-into's, that chassis would be toast. i remember clearly...

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...

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

Awesome set of buggies. Welcome

their was the two disc the top plate rubs on , front Spen, arms they are black though.the white rear pod, axle support

There is another plastic plate that I removed to get the nicad pack out, it went from the rear tower to the middle. I was thinking it looked a bit homemade and I wonder why they did that. If I get time I may play with it more, but I will need a 6...

This body looks nicely used and fits well. What do u think?

very cool story and the car came out great!!! the look on his face makes it all worth it. he looks so proud.

mike

Very nice work. I like your extra attention to detail on this build

thanks buddy!!! now if i could only learn to take pics like you.... 8) 8) 8) 8) ...... cool guy :wink:

:lol:

when lex builds that boxart tub i sprayed for him like 2 years ago, i'll leave him alone. :wink: :)

Yeah that first link is the one I was thinking about

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:

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.

Well, i got some parts in a RC10T trade and i asked someone and they said it was from Andy's, if thats all the parts, i have them all except for the rear hubs!!!!!!!! :mrgreen: :mrgreen: I just need to know for when i either sell them or make an...

project has gone in a new dirrection now lol, ill get back to ya on that one :oops:

I always thought these people should spend less time driling and more time driving. :lol:

Man this car is great - I love all the subtle but effective modifications, that means it can kick some modern buggy ass on the track. Inspiration for my runner project 8)

Good action shots too - I wish we had some purpose built indoor dirt tracks...

Yeah B3 and T3 are the same, the pin hole is offset more to the outside than the 10T/GT/T2/B2 one.

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

My original RC10 (purchased from Tower Hobbies in 1984) had the light chassis, lexan gear cover and
early rear shock pieces. The only thing I don't...

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...

i have seen them on ebay for around $9.99 plus shipping. but i personally wouldn't give that much. never just toss an item. no matter the condition and what it is. if it has to do with associated or any other rc post it up on here fore free plus...

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...

Looks real nice! I'm glad you changed your mind about using it as a basher 8) :mrgreen:

Thanks for the pic. It actually reminded me that I'm missing a couple parts in addition the the servo blocks.

I think you're going to have to resize your pics smaller, they didn't show up.

Cool! one of those super rare left side drive rc10's, with the OK stickers and everything :lol: :lol:

I do like it, yoke rims look great!

What did you clean the white parts with to make them less yellow?

There's no secret combo here. Basically, I used some AJAX w/ bleach dish soap. I believe it runs about a $1.80 at Walmart. I use the dish soap in combination with a toothbrush,...

Great pictures mrlexan! Thanks! Now I just need a Sidewinder body for my TQ10. It sure would be nice if mrlexan made one! :wink: :wink: nudge nudge. You know what I mean? Is she a goer? Say no more!

Sorry, my mind went all Monty Python. :oops:...

more imortant: what the heck is it doing in a box??? :wink:

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.

to remove chrome plating from wheels people have used oven cleaner or draino (i have never tried these methods cause i like my chrome lol). removing superglue people boil them or use acetone. i would give one of these methods a shot. i have also...

looks great. I have been doing similar with an old B3, but my route was almost all used parts slowly building a runner for cheap. I close to finishing soon. I heard a few parts for these are available from Thunder Tiger via the Phoenix BX which is a...

cool thanks. now i know what to search for. :)

i bought it i think in 98 of the bay and the the orignial tube was gold but chewed up but the rest of the car showed little were so that when i went on the ae web and bought bought chassie and wheel and new rubber. i remmeber the parts being so...

Now that is a wing! :shock:

The universals came standard on my circa 1989 RC10CE Graphite.

The universals in my opinion were FAR superior to the CVDs. I hate how you have to loctite it, then grease it...

All I did with my universal was dunk them in motor spray bath and re...

yes that is my RC 10 T along with my oval on the trayler. That trayler was hand built all by scratch out of junk plactic I had laying around many years ago

Hope I can chime in on this as I would like some help on this body as well.
????
i think that's a parma eagle.

Yes, it is. No need to think, you are correct.

Nice!!, that's one of my target finds too, Did that chassis come from ebay in the last month?

I got this graphite tub around 3 to 4 months ago.........from valkyrie ........:)

Mr rear tires are made by proline.This is the second set I had, they will be worn out soon.After that 2.2 conversion with proline dirt hawg tires.

Ask asso-man!
He and I raced at a grass track and he even won an endurance race there last year with his RC10

Thanks guys! :D

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.

It all started here:

they were pretty hard too, from what i remember. yea these are the hard compound, they are stiff as hell......lol
