Thanks for the excellent reference material.
Thank you Mr. Littau for the amazing effort to pull this information together - again. I recently returned to RC after a 20-odd year absence and this forum has inspired me to assemble my own vintage RC collection. Your posts and others have enable me to sort through boxes of parts, to accurately identify them and determine what is missing.slotcarrod wrote: ↑Mon Jul 10, 2017 11:27 pm What a pain in the ass, and I now have square eyes. All pictures have been fixed and permanently placed on RC10Talk's server so they will never go as long as this forum stays alive.
Again I am sorry for the poor pictures. I will try to take new ones as time allows. I do have a late TQ10, B3 and all black Worlds, VAE has an early B4 as I don't want to build mine. So more pics are coming soon!
I know I'm late on the reply. However, I was browsing this forum and I can shed some history on the RC10CE's you guys bought in a lot... They were used by Downers Grove South High School (District 99), in Downers Grove, IL, for a technology class called "Information to Technology." I took the class, taught by Bob Ruyle. The cars were used for roughly a 10 year timespan. Each car was setup differently based on students' ideas; and yes, they were all raced on a clay oval track. The track was on campus too. I had a Losi XX at the time (personal car), and brought it in for the final exam to compete against all of the RC10's. Yep, the final was a race! Probably the coolest class I've ever taken. After I had graduated, I heard Mr Ruyle had retired ...and since then, I had always wondered what happened to those 40 RC10CE's!tommykart wrote: ↑Wed Dec 19, 2012 11:49 pm yep i got it on epay there were 38 i think. I got a futaba magnum jr radio and high speed servos that works awesome the only thing that was dyed on mine were some of the ball cups. the other bad, was diff shaft is stripped ( going to make it 4-40 thread ) still has bushings, mismatched springs, maybe they ran oval, right front bushing was toast. tires looked new only good for the shelf queen, hardened rears had flat spot and cracked from sitting.
also had a sticker that said property of Community H.S. Dist. #99 south
assigned to 10th period table 2 seat 3
68 signal and the names of the 2 people that used the buggy
as far as the screw in the top i did that way back in the day to spray some lube into the trans and the screw on the bottom of the pan i don't know, it doesn't go into the trans at all.
i got mine for about $60 but the last one went for about $90.
i got vintage novak esc , changed tires on rims(PITA!!!!!), bearings, batteries and body on the way.

Wow, what an awesome class that must have been! I went to Lockport High School circa '87-'91 and we had a pretty great auto shop and computer club, but nothing like the class you mentioned. I know it's a bit off topic but I am curious if you raced in the Chicagoland area in the '80s/'90s?

It should be a pre-Worlds long ear bulkhead with reinforced "Worlds" type white rear arms with the short 10T inner hinge pins. This is the late tapered graphite chassis, correct?
Yes, that's the one. I found one and it has all white parts and long ears. On the first page of this thread the car has black arms and world's car bulkhead so I was just wondering if they have been swapped.templeofspeed wrote: ↑Fri Mar 09, 2018 6:58 pmIt should be a pre-Worlds long ear bulkhead with reinforced "Worlds" type white rear arms with the short 10T inner hinge pins.
