With the amount of these that are being purchased, there will be a flood of build threads coming. We don't want the new car to bury the o.g. new builds, replicas, restorations, etc., that already take place in our buggy forum. So the best thing to...
OK, so here is yet another one of my projects, I bought this one when they first were re-released, started building it, ran into issue after issue, got disgusted, packed it up and stuffed it into the closet. Since then it's been through 2 moves and...
so i ordered some of the worlds re release cv joints for my current build. my car is running new rpm rear arms,new re-release rear inner arm mounts,re re outer hubs,carbon works rear tower and kyosho velvet shocks. i also bought the blue pin washer...

*Bookmarks topic* I will be buying two.. or more.. of those next month!
So a stock World's Car should have those bones a set of trans cases and an idler to make it right heh. Well and tires. Oh and The top shaft except the shaft in mine was good....
I put a Castle 3800 in my worlds car and ran it a little on the street , Wheelies at will ! We went to the beach so I put some paddle tires on it. After about 5 minutes it stopped running, took the trans apart to find that the diff ball holes were...
Last post
My guess is on the clay track your diff is set so the tire grip would be lost before the diff slips. With modern sticky tires and powerful brushless motors the diff slipping would likely quickly cause catastrophe as it would likely overheat and...
Since things are a little slow I figured I would throw this out there.
First off, I'm not referring to value- this is from a collector and hobbiest point of view only! I am also throwing out the using of the parts to resell a car as original. This...
Last post
It's funny, for me, all parts are just parts. :lol: If it fits, I use it. I guess my goal has been more about having a functional, drivable car instead of an era correct build. :lol:
I think about it exactly the same way, regarding vintage vs...
New to the forum long time Associated fan. So i picked up a Worlds kit without reading the forums.... I loved the suprise of the trans not working properly. 6565 case,idler and a B4 topshaft fixed that quick. Then the mods got out of hand. I should...
Since it was taking forever and a day for them to ship my worlds re-re I picked up a set of them up at the LHS. I installed the soft ones on the front and the medium in the rear with 30w F and 35w R. They are working amazingly well.
So I noticed if I try and adjust any of the turnbuckles on the rere worlds the ends pop right off. I took all of them off, ran them almost all the way into the ends, backed them out, lubed the threads with Krytech dry lube and out them back...
Last post
I saw that in your build thread and am thinking of doing the rest of them tonight.
I ran them all the way in and out before I put PTFE on it and I still had to drill out the end to clearance the shoulder. I also found out the turnbuckles aren't...
Every time I click around here I see a bunch of ReRe World's Cars being built so I couldn't take it anymore and bought one. I called up Stormer Hobbies and talked to a guy for a bit and he let me get one for 149 shipped. At the moment, I have no...

It came in yesterday. I also went kind of nuts buying parts lots and now have 3 complete cars torn down on my workbench and 4 more on their way. (My Oakey collecting has taken a backseat for a minute lol) When and if I do build it, it'll probably be...
I'm not in a super rush as I waiting for a package from AE to replace my incorrectly machined CV. I have my sidewinder 3 4600 kv combo here for my re-re worlds and I'm wondering where I should start pinion wise. The spur is the kit one and I'm...

AE is sneaky. I gave them my home shipping address for the replacement CV. I expected it to come to the house but nope, it just showed up at work today. Guess they looked up my email since I used my work one to make contact and got the shipping from...
I recently got a RC10 worlds car for Christmas and have built the kit which was great car and quality but I am running a 5700KV Castle Creations Sidewinder motor. I ran the car once after building it and it quickly warped the spur gear :cry: I know...
Last post
I actually ordered the 5700kv and canceled it and went with the 4600kv. I remember back in the day I nuked the diff in my JRX2 with a low turn modified. Ended up pleading with the family to take me to the hobby store while on vacation in order to...
Not sure if the link will work, but apparently the inside cover of the July issue of RCCA has a very familiar photo in it...
Possibly this time the rumors are true?
Last post
I wonder why I never see them in hobby shops anymore? Odd. Maybe it's a slow mover? The last one I saw had a faded price tag, indicating it had been around for a while.
Just joined and bought a classic re re. Excited for the build. Wondering if any of you know where to source aluminum try wing nuts for the wheels like the4 originals but in gold aluminum?
Last post
Yeah having a hard time finding even the stock ones.
I was kicking the idea around about buying the world's re release car. I've heard good things and bad things about it. What's y'alls opinion on the car and is it worth the buy?
Last post
Oh yeah they're awesome about custom service. When I built my new t5m they replaced a few items for me with no hesitation. Will always run AE vehicles for the value, quality and the way they take care of us racers.
Been racing my RC10 Re-Worlds for about a year now, but got parked for indoor racing back in May after I got a B5m. Was getting wooped in 17.5, so the B5m is taking over stock duties, and putting the RC10 in mod.
Didn't know where to post this.....Since it's my re re....I figured the re re thread.....

Being one of the early adopters of the RC10 World's re-release, I was was extremely happy at the chance to purchase an RC10 again. I had been out of the hobby since I was 17 or 18 (now 31), so I decided to seize the opportunity and buy a this great...
First off, thank you Team Associated to giving us this!
My intention was to build this car with as many original looking parts as possible just to make it look like an original. Shocks, front axles, rear hubs with 1/4 flanged bearings,...
Last post
Good god is that a nice looking RC10. Jeez, one of my favorites, ever. Just goes to show that keeping things simple can make for a really good ride.
I started this project a number of months ago, and thought it was about time I post the progress. I am not sure at this time how far I will go with taking artistic license versus being historically accurate. But, since the project will take quite a...
I picked up my freshly anodised RC10 classic aluminium parts the other day.
I'm yet to start the build, but the plans are to keep it pretty stock with the exception of some REC bling, being the upcoming orig. style alloy wheels and...

Nice effort!! I really need a Re Re now! :twisted:
Not sure why I didn't start a build thread soon in the build but never too late. I suppose because I'm not doing too much outside of the box on this one.
I was hoping to get a bit of advice. I just got a free to me Re-Re Classic NIB. I am trying to decide what to do with it. I have a Cadillac that I am almost done restoring and I was going to use it as a resto-racer. It is pretty much...
Last post
Yeah, if you compare old world prices to nowadays, they're cheaper! I really need to buy one soon.
Is anyone still running a classic, did you drive yours a few times, did you build it and put straight on the shelf, have you at least cracked the seal on the box or did you just stash it NIB?
I originally bought two, one to build for the shelf and...

I have raced and run mine quite a bit. I need to get an additional nose plate and chassis so that if/when I retire it I can replace the scratched ones.

Your rear arm mounts are on backwards. FYI.
Lol yes they were. I was not quite finished with it yet and sort of tossed them on. Was too lazy to change it till I got some more parts for it to do all at once.
I think AE made a mistake in their manual with their CVD upgrade kit. The spacers (not included with the kit :? nor were the part #7364 hubs :? ) should go on the inside and not the outside or the dog bones fall right out.
It worked out OK on the...
Last post
The diagram is correct. The blue spacer is designed to keep the wheel from touching anything but the inner race of the bearing when the nut is tightened. Yes, it may be too thick and cause issues if your right height is set too high in the rear, but...
Well, he's not little anymore, and he'll be 21 in January. But, here is my kid's worlds car. Just about ready to munch on some carpet this winter. Waiting on the servo yet and I gotta spray the body.

I got this car from my brother for my birthday. I've always been a fan of rc10's and I'm really excited to finally own one. I plan on racing this car in the 17.5 edm class at a couple oval events this year.
i'd be interested in having a set, but i'm not too interested in ordering them part by part, not that i mind assembling them, if they come in a bag, but it's just that it seems kind of wasteful and expensive to order them one part at a time.
OT,...
Last post
They are indeed available as a kit, all in one bag. That's how I bought mine. Mine are still in the bag, as I went a different route. If you want the part number, PM me, because I try to save all the cardboard hanger cards that come on parts....
My son is trying to race with a Worlds RC10. The under-steer is pretty difficult to work through compared to his modern B5M chassis. Are there any front suspension tips or tricks to adjust for the under-steering in an RC10?
Last post
For me, the answer was lighten the front springs, add weight to the nose, and fabricate a rear sway bar setup. This has worked wonders for me. It used to just push straight into the barriers if I had any gas on it, now it turns much more...
i am going out on a limb here and guessing this car needs more front end weight. how do you current owners have your chassis layouts?

i plan on running mine on mid grip astro this winter. i want to try the b5 cradle or the batttery holder in GoMachV's car. i have the b5 cradle already though.
I know there was a thread somewhere about this but I can not find it. Iam a veteran of racing,20+ years and I still race. I have a dislike for modern buggies and their tight chassis lay outs. I was thinking of grabbing a re release RC10 worlds car...
Last post
For my driving style, I have noticed that shorter turnbuckles all around (1 in from longest settings front and rear), wake the car up and it has all the steering and corner speed I want.
Keep in mind Twisted, the more you swap this part for that...
Finally completed my build. May not be for all since I dyed all the white parts BLUE!!! I had never dyed my RC10 parts before and always wanted this color combo. Finding the rear tires was tough. Finally located a set at my LHS, J&M Hobbies in San...

Hey guys,

I have a Worlds re-release car all built and ready to race, but as my other racer is a B5M, I would love to share wheels and tires, if that's possible
is there a conversion...

Hi,
Other option is to use NIX63551 arms and B4 bones. This way you can use Worlds Car hubs and bearings from the kit.
In this mod suspension layout isn't Worlds Car anymore as outer hinge pin moves out.
I got my first associated car ever, the RC10 worlds in mid February. I was hooked after a friend of mine Foong, let me drive his, and I was instantly hooked, it was so easy to drive, unlike another buddy's TLR 22. So I bought it , but did not have...

What 7.4V 2s battery is everyone running with a brushless/lipo setup that fit in a standard RC10 classic rear bulkhead?
Are people just running shorty packs with foam spacer?
I am struggling finding a pack that meets the standard dimensions. I...
Last post
I also run a shorty in my gold pan, but run the one linked below in my worlds rere... which should fit the same as the classic. They fit the bulkhead and battery cup perfectly and have plenty of punch for a 50C (as much as my other 90C packs).

I'm in the middle of building a worlds car too. Mine seemed to have a bad top shaft. I put one in from an old T4 transmission I had laying around and viola! Smooth operation.
