History of the RC10T
This thread is devoted to accumulating and sharing the group's combined knowledge of the RC10T. This effort was spearheaded by Marlo, who built and updated this thread for a number of years. For reasons unknown, all of his posts...

Early off line B stamped chassis variants. NOTE: The 10T NEVER...came
with a gold pan
Turns out that this isn't true and an nib gold tub truck with gold nose and motor plate came up for sale. The community decided that it was a valid kit.
This thing still looks good and runs great. I know I will need to get new batteries, only runs for like 3 minutes then dies. What are good ones to get.
Not sure what I got here. Couple of pics. Let me know what you guys think. Worth a restore? IMG_20230629_153413.jpg IMG_20230629_153415.jpg IMG_20230629_153418.jpg

The topic of a gold tub 10T came up years ago, and most (including myself) always thought there was only a black tub/nose/motor plate. This Japanese 7011 Sport kit appears to have the gold parts. :shock: I asked the seller for pics of the nose since...

Like many of you I grew up drooling over the RCCA article of Cliff Letts Team Moo RC10t. I was fortunate enough to get a 10t in 92 as a kid but never the funds to duplicate that dream truck till now. 😃

I did have a search on here about this but didn't find an answer.
Could someone give me the measurements of the front and rear rc10T shocks from eyelet to eyelet please ?
The 1.02 and 1.32 ones.
I bought this awesome-ish frankentruck off of ebay. It was advertised as a Losi GTX, but I think I've determined it's really an RC10T3 with some team / factory parts that has a new chassis and the transmission has been swapped into a mid-motor...

The Frankentruck lost its body to one of the EGTs. But it got an upgrade. The replacement was from a shelfer GT, but didn't quite work with the T3 rear shock tower. After a little trimming and the addition of a pair of carbon fiber RC10B4 hub towers...
Today starts my take on the box art Rc10gt. I don't want it to match 100%, but have it more of a one off copy GT that means more to me As I raced back in the day longside the box art version days. Racer was a huge fan, but lived states away had...
I had initially planned on rehabbing a pretty shabby T3 into something nice. However I had an ebay seller agree to sell me a very nice condition T3 RTR.

Im trying to piece together an original team truck and had a question about the shock caps. Did the team truck always come with shock caps or were they always aluminum? I saw that the some of the aport trucks has plastic caps but wasnt sure if that...

I believe all sport trucks had plastic caps, gold body's
Nib 7011 kit, sealed parts bag, with white plastics and black aluminum shock caps. It has a Reedy Outlaw stock motor as well.

When I make bumpers, they are the max width without wheel rub. Not pretty but the best protection I can give the truck against the results of my 'driving skills'.

Hi friends! Quick poll, who has had a few beers and went surfing around on Ebay only to (sorta) regret it the next day?
Apparently, I am the new owner of this RC10T2.
Had no intention of actually winning it but I feel like I got a good...

You can remove the existing mount and use a puretech Velcro strap. It’s backed with adhesive so it can be used without drilling the chassis or slimming down the battery mount
That's the ticket! I was not going to be modifying any of the factory...
Kind of surprised I didn't have a thread for this.
I got this truck a few years ago. Pretty solid. Even had Lunsford turnbuckles. But, no trans. Thankfully, i bought a b2/b3 lot shortly after getting the T3 and ended up with trans for it. I tore it...
Recently picked this 10T up… Am I correct in thinking that this is one of the last runs of the original 10T design? Chassis is a C stamp and has all black parts as you can see.
Last post
That high of ratio ehh? I was thinking around 21-22t. It’s. Reedy radon 15t motor
The original 10T has a 2.25:1 transmission ratio, while newer trucks have 2.4 or 2.6 ratios. So you can't directly compare the pinion size to that of newer trucks....
I can't seem to get an answer from JConcepts so I thought I would ask here. I bought the JConcepts RC10GT Authentic Body - 6131 and I did not realize it did not come with decals, and my question is what decals are supposed to be used with this...

Hi
Thanks, I was looking at the MCI decals before posting but didn't know for sure if those were the ones I would need. As for the other body I'm planing on getting would I need to get the MCI 1/10TH ASSOCIAT - RC10 T3 / GT3 DECALS?

I would also wote for the green shocks. The black shocks are nice, but I think you're losing more of the identiy of the car. Also, all of a sudden the entire setup turned very modern with the black ones.

Does anyone still make 2.2 aggressive knobby ST tires? I'm looking for something similar to the old Tracktagators, I'm not having any luck finding any descant big knobby tires.

I remember seeing the TracTaGators in the catalogs back in the day, and how ridiculous they were to me even as a kid. :lol: Never forgot the name though!

I have a RC10GT and I need to get replacement front axle nuts but the manual is not clear on the size I need to get. I can't find them locally so I have to order them, so are they 6-40 or 5-40, the manual shows both as the size.

RPM didn't have a truck bulkhead that accepted nose tubes. The one you have is it, so ultra molded or carbon chassis is about it.

Its awesome that you are looking to update a very very cool car, the RC10DS.
Ive restored three electric DS cars with Castle Creation's Sidewinder 3 brushless motor/esc combo units and was totally happy with performance.

Nice 10T, body scheme looks good. I just picked up a 10T yesterday which also has the black T2 shock towers and A-arms.

Holeshots will work on about 90% of tracks so they are a good tire to bring, they may not be the fastest tire but they work well.

Since you already have #2 pistons in the front/rear maybe bring a #1 piston rear with 30 - 32wt and a #3 front with 30 - 32wt for some quick tuning options.
Can anyone shed some light on these clutch springs? I have only ever seen two, maybe three in total. They are bent too nice to be home made and I have never seen literature anywhere about them. None of my manuals show them.
