Replacement parts for Goldpan RC10

[veghead211]

I put my old RC10 back together and took it to a race last weekend and ended up breaking a rear hub carrier. I wanted to know if I could use this to replace it:

I also looked at these other replacement parts from RPM and wanted to know if these would fit as well:

A lot of people were surprised to see me running such an old car but most ended up telling me not to bother racing it because the parts on it are going to break a lot (Our track has a lot of high jumps, etc). That said I want to be able to have some extras but I'm still unsure of what will fit and what will not.

Here is where I race:

I can't tell you what will work... but just use all those naysayer's comments as fuel to whoop some ass!

I've heard too many of those comments about me running brushless in an old RC10T!

Beat them, then tell them to go buy an OLD car!






P.S. it is my understanding that most, if not all parts, originally made for the RC10 are available in at least a few online sources. (some repros, of course)

The parts you listed should work on your RC-10 gold pan.

I have included a link to parts still manufactured by Associated for the Rc-10 below.

How is that track? It's about 45min north of me and while I don't have any 1/8 scale stuff I have wanted to check it out for sometime

veghead211 I own the carriers and at one time had them on. I may have sanded them a little for smoother operation if there was some friction. I have those RPM rear arms on my Goldtub now. I think it says Andy's on the arms but they are exact. They have the exact same width. They are not a wider arm. The front arms pictured will work but are a wider arm than the stock ones. Those aftermarket arms appear to be stronger although I never put them to the test..

those parts will work for you.

no as far as the front arms you inked. those are the same with as the stock rc10 wide arm that came out on the rc10 ce, rc10 team car, rc10 stealth ce, and rc10 worlds car. if you are running the narrow arms that came out on the early rc10's you will need a longer set of tie rods.

Some of the older guys that have raced for a long time (who also own a few goldpans themselves) said the RC10 just wasn't a car designed to be run on the type of track where we race. Most of them said it was meant to be run on somewhat smoother layouts. You can see pictures of some of the jumps on the link I already posted. Most there thought it was really cool and asked me a lot of questions about when I bought it, etc.

Cape Fear Raceway is probably the largest off road track I have ever raced on. The layout is awesome and the people there do a great job running the races. Most classes are 1/8 scale but the Short Course crowd is big, which is the other class I race in.

You wouldn't happen to know a website where I can find replacements for the front a arms? One of the a arms on the front is cracked and I know I will need to replace it soon. I would like to see if I can get these replacements for my suspension from one place.

do you have the short arms? if so i would just upgrade to the longer arms and replace the tie rods. other than that the best place to find replacement short arms would be ebay of from one of the member here. honestly you will like the rpm arms you found on tower.

I do have some extra tie rods that I think would work. I have also heard good things about RPM parts and their durability.
