This is a new method. Anyone tried this: I might give it a go.
Maybe it's warpspeed patented process?

~72 hrs in a 3%, no sunlight. But did do a few heat cycles in a water bath (think heating up a baby bottle). Not sure if the heating did anything or just the time.
ok, since i saw some guys mention it, i figured i'd just start one. this is for completed cars only. if your building one, start your own thread in the rc10 forum. then, toss some pics and info from your build in this thread when your done with it....
as long as your cars have the correct buggy suspension parts, here's what to get:
duratrax bx front rims and nitro rear rims. they're 2.2's, so modern tires will fit.
then, get a set of mip b2 cvd's.

Hello . Well I guess these days 2.2 hex wheels are the new modern . This is my RC10 Conversion and comparison to a B5M. The shapeways arms seem to be duarable took couple hard hits and nothing broke (yet) . :D

Looking at the B4/SC10 steering blocks (#9880), I noticed that the bearings were only slightly smaller than 5X10X3 mm bearings.
I reamed the steering blocks with a 25/64 drill bit by hand. The fit on the 10mm bearings is tight.
I also had to open...

For future reference: B6 (gullwing) arms with a B4 bulkhead. (this could potentially solve the expense/rarity of B4 front end parts as the B6 parts are a bit more robust)

Are there advantages/disadvantages running an aluminum idler gear? Please post your opinions and/or experiences.
I recently just picked up an aluminum idler gear for a 2.6 trans on ebay. It can be used in my RC10 T4 brushless basher or in a shelf...
Last post
in my experience the steel topshaft wears the aluminum idler which then takes out the diff gear. You can try to keep them greased, but also beware that the grease makes the aluminum powder into abrasive toothpaste.

Are there any shock ends that fit the front of the B2 that don’t have a plastic pivot ball?

Hello all,
Does anyone know the outer diameter of the shock gaskets used on early Edinger RC10's
When was the diameter changed? Were these early only or early and mid Edingers?
Was the part kept at the same number 6468?
Last post
The early one were like half that width. Only slightly larger than the cap.
So I freed up my stuck nitro engine. (OS Max CZ .12 i think) Noticed that the piston rod was very loose on the crankshaft and has A LOT of play. The bottom of the piston rod also hits the inside of the block. Should there be a bushing where there is...

The head doesnt look great but is probably OK, but man that thing must have been hot if the anodizing is that discolored.
But no, that piston doesn't look good. In the correct orientation how far up the liner can you push the piston?

I'm looking at the parts to get an rc10 graphite together.

the graphite Team car still had the 4 hole tower at first, so the graphite non team should have only had the 4 hole.
What works better? I know the main difference is the location of the cup. The cva's have it on the axle and the cvd's have it on the bone. My question really is does this make that much of a difference performance wise? Or something more for the...

This is an old but interesting post. Any new thoughts on comparing a CVA or CVD for an RC10B4?
The inside hub would have to accommodate the size of the cup throughout the suspension travel would be the obvious drawback.

These came on a car I just got. they are aluminum and have a set screw to clamp in place. the springs are recessed inside the clamp. Home-made or a production piece?

These are the CRP/RCH shock clamps
The two set screws are 90 degrees from the each other.
The way these allow the spring up inside reminds me of the early CRP coilovers for the SRB's Obviously these are much larger but similar in design....
Never seen this before, to be perfectly honest I’ve had it for a while now and before looking at it closely I thought it was a homemade aluminum wing. :roll:
It’s thin, somewhat flexible, yet strong as well.
Any idea what company may have made...

Bit of an older thread, but i noted the graphite wing availability dates were being discussed. This advert is for the pre-Composite Craft days, so D&D Graphite.
This advert is from a 1986 UK mag, so they were clearly available that early.

No, and the manual in the Stealth kit doesn't mention or show you how to use the drill template either. What even more odd is that the 6590 drill template only includes the drill bit in the 6560 box kit. The retail header card pack is the template...

Keep in mind the early Mip SP-4 outdrives for the SP-3 diff were short, and the later version SP-4 for the Pro & Plus diffs were a tad longer. The late version still fits the SP-3.
