RC10Talk - The Net's Largest Vintage R/C Community

Hi guys,

I was wondering, how is it possible to clean the dirt that gets onto the edge of fibreglass parts. For example RC10 shock towers or an old firbeglass chassis.

What I mean is you can have a part which looks cosmetically excellent on the...

Anyone ever heard of Hitech Aluminum Rear Trailing Arms for an RC10? I got some in a box and it appears that there are more parts that were offered separately to make it a complete kit. Any body have a complete set up photo?

I am traveling most of...

fellas a friend sent me this link,don't know if anyones seen them,but some sweet old rides in here.

Does anyone know if the .71 hard anodized shock bodies are available by themselves? No one seems to have any, and I can't find a part number. It's probably around and I'm just missing it.

I have some vintage 3 spoke wheels winging their way across to the UK for me (thanks sharkman), I want to dye them black and put in some shiney stainless screws.

Can anyone tell me what sizes they are so that I can get some screws ready? Preferable...

Didn't Robinson make a 64 pitch internal gear set for the Stealth trans? I think father had a set in his carpet oval car. What was the final drive ratio with the 64 pitch gears??

Just a quickie, I couldn't find the answer doing a search. Are the vintage 3 spoke wheels dyeable?

(what's the chances someone else searches and finds the answe straight away!!)

replacement possibility? i'm pretty sure these'll fit.` the originals are 2-56 i believe.

I've always got the problem of the idler gears worn off too fast. Currently, TH do not have stock for them. As such, I thought of making them into aluminium alloy.
Would you guys go with stainless steel, steel or alloy?
Also, how many of you guys...

Hi guys,
I have a bit of a problem with my B3 slipper, after a lack of use I thought I would give it a run at the weekend at my local club on grass as it wasn't raining 8) , but no mater how tight the nut was the clutch would slip like crazy, the...

I recently purchased a NIP #6815 rear tire set. When I bought them, I assumed they would be an exact match to the original kit tires. However, these tires do not have “Team Associated” or the ae logo on the sidewall. In fact, there are no markings...

are they switchable? Is the mounting hole position the same? Can I put a T2 tower on a B2 and vice versa?

since i don't have any to compare, are the bones in the mip cvd kit for the rc10 (w/ 1/4 axles), the same lenght as the bones in the kit for the b2/b3 (w/ 3/16 axles)?

Hey guys! What are you using for shock pivot balls for the Team Cars? Are you using the newer Associated versions, RPM's delrin pivots or just finding new old stock on ebay? Which one do you like best?

Thanks!

I thought of building up a brand new sealth for my gold tub. Does any one of you have a instruction with pictures to share with me cos I've never build one before.
Also, is the trans for B4 the same as the older trans? I would prefer the B4's cos...

Hi to all.
I have picked up a RC10 that was conveted to Ascot Challanger Sprint car. All I know is it is an RC10. I am going to replace the front rims. Are the rims for RC10 and RC10B2, B3 and B4 basicly the same. I just need to get the correct...

this auction:

claims that rear toe should only be corrected by changing the arm mounts, not the hub carriers. (Note that they stole the picture of the RPm 0degree hub carriers from my auction)
I know I have on the GT just reversed the hub carriers...

Hi guys and girls,

Here's todays question...

I would like to know what the standard original gold pan RC10's rear arm mounts, angle, in degrees is? :?

Also is there a difference between the RC10 types of rear axle/bearing carrier? :?

Basically...

In the stock pitch for a stealth..
Thanks!

So as I'm sitting here rebuilding my old Stealth tranny I see my tranny from my B4 is sitting off to the side......hmmmm.......anybody try to run the top shaft off a B4 in the old Stealth, so you can use the B4 slipper and spurs????

I have 2 sets of RR front caster blocks, one 20deg, one 30deg. I was going to use them, butnoticed that they do not hace a spot for the camber-link ball end to go, and the king-pin holes are much bigger than the standard pin.
Did RR make a front end...

What's with using 32 pitch gears? I would think you would stash those back, and get some 48's for your runners.

If there's something I'm missing, please tell me. :D

someone posted a link to a bearing supplier for the front wheels. They were cheap as heck.. $1 each.. Was it hoopty?? Can ya repost it? I can't find the thread:( Thanks

Hi guys and girls,

I am trying to adapt a set of Kyosho Optima wheels to fit an RC10 and was wondering if I could get some help with Kyoshos as I am not familiar with them.

On the back of a Kyosho Optima wheel is a recess for a hex nut to attach...

Hey guys, I have been lurking around for awhile now, post from time to time, just soaking up information. I am only 23 so I wasnt around back in the heyday of the RC10, so this is all new to me. The thing that impresses me the most is the incredible...

Umm my batteries in the shotgun format dont seem to fit very well in the gold chassis I'm building. Length wise they are too long and would never fit in the holder and if i cut the end off the holder the battery will stick out of the end and get too...

DOES ANY ONE HAVE A PIC or a close up of the tq10 chassis, i know its graphite but does it look like fiberglass almost w/o the graphite weave and such. i was looking at assomans tq10 and in my box i have an rc10 that looks exactly like it with black...

I have MIP CVD's on both my Son's and my T3's. I have a 19 turn motor and I have a 10Turn cranking out the speed. The problem is that I keep shearing the roll pins on the axles. I was out running them yesterday with my son and both our right side...

Hi I want to race my RC10 CE 6 gear with a 19Turn quadmag Reedy. I have a 54 teeth diff gear and 2 rear wheels, what pinion should I use ?

Hi guys, I'm looking for the wheels and tires in the attached photo. Can any kind soul advise me on the brand and where can I get them. Also, will they fit to my original RC10 setup? Please kindly advise.
Sorry FERRETI, I've used your pic without...

:?:
Does anyone know the hex size for the tiny screws that hold the bushing in the idler gear on the six gear tranny? None of the sizes I have seem to fit it, and I want to put bearings in it.

Hi guys.

Silly question from the German department:

What kind of drillbit (number or name) do I have to use to create countersunk holes for 8-32 and 4-40 (? the small black ones) flathead screws? I tried a european one but failed due to that Plup...

Which RC10 came with a milled chassis?
Were there any differences between the milled and non-milled cars otherwise??

I've been looking for a decent Worlds buggy for a long time but they're getting scarce. I'm not really looking for a milled...

Hey I know most of you hate the 6 gear tranny but for those like me that have to run them because you dont have Big $$$ for the stealths that are going for crazy prices on ebay (saw one yesterday end for 65$USD shipped :roll: )...I have some good...

I got this chassis in a deal.Anyone possibly know what it is??It's 6-gear only,and looks to be graphite with glass in the center.
Other than about 7 un-necessary holes,it's real solid,and can be fixed up.

So, if Hot Trick only made red stuff, who made this gold steering setup that looks just like the HT parts? Or, who made the gold stuff and then sold the design to HT...? :

Hi everybody,

i will propose you soon to buy some andy's parts. i've got front and rears arms. i've got 3 différents lenght front arms....

Hi, I was looking at this auction:

The rear shock strut in the bag seems strange. Is it the standard design for the stealth CE?

I have tried these on both of my 6010s my CE and my Composite Craft car, they wont fit on any of them :( , the output shafts are too large in diameter? I'm going to try them on my Ultima in a moment. Can anyone give me a clue :?

I have two Associated car wrenches but they aren't alike. I'm guessing one is for the 10T and the other the 10 buggy?!

DID THEY make a set of aluminum swing arms like the rc10 ones for the rc10T but longer?I have a set that are about half inch longer but seem to be same width as rc10 ones just more travel.DON 8) :lol:

I know there is a thread here somewhere on removing anodizing but I can't find it, please point me in the right direction, or give me the name of a UK product that does the job, thanks.

why are the wheel nuts and others called 8/32s and not 1/4? does anyone know?

I am doing a little web project and need images of the front of boxes for the following kits:

RC10 CE (1990)
RC10 Team Car
RC10 T
RC10 CE (1992)
RC10 Team Truck
RC10 B2
RC10 T2
RC10 DS series (basically all of them)
RC10 B3 FT
RC10 T3 FT

If you...

pkay guys.. What exactly is the difference between the 6 gear, the non 6 gear and the stealth trans. Pros and cons of each? Years each was avaliable?

Thanks, Frank

Finally won a Stealth Tranny on eBay:

I was hoping to pay a little less but all the other auctions in the past year that i've tried to win I've been nailed on so I was getting desparate. I need one of these babies for my Tekin Mid Conversion so I...
