First RC10 Team, it's going to be a racer!
Hi guys, normally a schumacher man on the vintage side of things but seeing all the nice RC10's on here I had to get one on my own!
Asked a few friends at the local club if they knew of any RC10's about and through a friend on Facebook managed to get this car:
The plan is to strip and clean and peroxide the plastic parts and add B4 threaded shocks and convert to B4 wheels and use a B4 slipper and fiberlyte towers

If in doubt go flat out!

Re: First RC10 Team, it's going to be a racer!
Couple if newbie questions, is it a CE car?
Any unusual parts/mods??
Think I'll have to look at up grading the steering bell cranks but what is a good option??

Looks like a Team car to me, with the hard-anodized shocks and the black chassis. There isn't a bad RC10, but that's definitely one of the better choices.

Re: First RC10 Team, it's going to be a racer!
Thanks guys, just changed the thread title to Team car
Had a look at the front tower and it's a home made job! These will be replaced by carbon versions.
It's got a carbon purple gearbox brace which was a nice suprise.
Some more questions! Lol
Is there any repro RC10 shells available to buy in the UK??
Does anyone do nice Ali bell cranks for the steering??

I've bought two bodies from Tower Hobbies - sadly they are currently sat in customs awaiting charges (as usual, I get caught every time i buy from US sellers !). In hindsight perhaps i should have gone to TeamBlueGroove as I've bought 7 or 8 Tamiya bodies from them in the past without customs issues. I don't think Kamtec do RC10 shells so we are a bit stuck in blightly

Looks like a Mirage, was very popular on UK tracks in the 90's.Headling wrote:I'll get a shall from TBG, I like the shell that's on it , any ideas on what type it is??

Re: First RC10 Team, it's going to be a racer!
Thanks for the info on the Mirage shell, I will check TBG e bay shop to see if they do one.
I am just about to order the fiber lyte towers, not sure what ones to order??
The RC10 early cars versions?
http://www.fibre-lyte.co.uk/fl/cars/associated/rc10ear.html
Or the 94 versions??
http://www.fibre-lyte.co.uk/fl/cars/associated/rc1094.html
I am thinking early version but wanted to be sure first, btw will be using B4 shocks on the car if that makes any difference

Re: First RC10 Team, it's going to be a racer!
If you want to keep it (sort of) stock, then the early ones, otherwise the later ones, which are for the worlds car.....My thread has some picture of the early ones on a gold pan if you want to see what they look like.
The fitment is exactly the same for early or worlds shock towers, so really it's up to you what you want to fit.

Re: First RC10 Team, it's going to be a racer!
The B4 shocks are different lengths then your stock team car shocks so you will need appropriate shock towers to use the B4 shocks. The team cars were .71 front and 1.32 rear and the B4 is .89 front and 1.18 rear. These guys have your towers you need. http://rccarbonworks.com/store/index.php?route=product/category&path=20_36

Re: First RC10 Team, it's going to be a racer!
Are these a good option for the steering bell cranks?

Any other parts needed to fit them to my car??
