Hey guys, does it look like the parts on the actual working car are the parts that go on the gold pan? I am thinking that for the most part they are. I am thinking of taking apart the working car and trying to assemble the gold pan, any thoughts? Also, is there a good way to make the white parts clean up and look whiter? Looking for some advice guys, at 42 I didn't think I would be at up with RC again but I am really intrigued by the history of this little car. Thanks in advance.
Love it. Looks like it was pulled off the dirt track, dusted off and forgotten about. Me personally, I'd not get rid of the graphite chassis. Could be a nice future dirtoval build. Especially with the Bolink carpet tires. I did the Peroxide trick thanks to this site. I used the wrong CLR as many said but glad to say the parts are bright white. Can hit your search button or click on my profile and find my dirtoval gold pan thread to see how mine turned out.
Wow, nice score! Welcome. If you want to run it, don't use those wheels and tires, sell them here or keep it for a shelf queen as they are rare, especially in that condition.
Go brushless with modern running gear and definitely get a wide arm setup for more stability.
You could put everything but the bellcranks and foams back on the gold tub as a stock car then build up the Composite Craft chassis as another car with old aftermarket parts.
Thanks everyone for all of the information, I really appreciate it. I have decided to build the gold pan back but it will be a held queen and I will buy something else to run or maybe use one of the other chassis and build another car.
So it does look like most of the parts will go back on the gold pan then right? Excuse my ignorance but what are the bell cranks and where can I get the right ones?
I am gonna start taking it apart tomorrow, thanks again for the help and I look forward to anymore advice or comments you guys have. I loe this site.

The steering bellcranks are those aluminum pivot arms with the ball bearings in them that connect the steering servo to the front wheels. The one's you have are the right ones as they were an aftermarket part made by RCPS/Losi for the RC10.
They're not what came on the car stock though, so if you were to rebuild the gold tub as it originally came you wouldn't use them. You've got the original servo savers that were used as the bellcrank in your parts lot so you don't need to go looking for them.
Personally in my opinion, I'd keep the car the way it is. But I'm a big fan of dirt oval. I looked at the pics again just amazed of how much of a period correct look it is. I'd find a vintage late model body and paint it retro looking! Then I'd start collecting pieces on here for the Gold pan. But to each there own. But you have a perfect graphite chassis, bellcranks, tires and bumper for a retro oval car! Again, nice find.
Edit: Oh snap, you have a spare chassis too. AGH. You lucky SOB...lol. Well in the future if it comes up for sale, hit me up.
So when i ordered the many parts and pieces for my rebuild, i must have accidentally ordered a driver dude instead of a wing...please dont hate... but ill use the guy for a differenct rc10 i have. How do i mount the guy, and how do i go about...

As far as I know, just tape or double sided tape. I don't think there were ever any actual fasteners.
Must say though, I bought the driver too, but it kinda sucks because it doesn't look like the box art dude with the separate helmet. I have some...
So I ended up pulling my RC10 out of storage at the prodding of my co-workers, and decided to do what it needed to get it running again. My son is 11, just about the right age to get into it, and I figured, what the heck?
I have been checking out this site alot looking at info on my RC0T2 That i bought when I was about 13, just dug it out and cleaned it up but i have always wanted a buggy and found one on craigslist for $50 so here it is I think its a worlds the tail...

Nice score for $50 and welcome to the forum.
I reckon if you disassembled it and cleaned (or dyed with RIT dye) it that car would look great. I think sometimes sellers leave the crud on to hide any damage but it seems that you still got a very nice...
well this is the little brother to the RC10T in the other thread. its not done I have a new body on the way. and to make it cool it needed some Losi added to it, so some Losi aluminum wheels on the way. I think they will look good on the shelf...

What rims are you going to go with? I kind of think those black ones look pretty good with that green. It is bright. If you ever race it, you wouldn't lose track of it in the shuffle. :mrgreen:
Almost looks like the new Dodge sublime color. Testors...
Ok fella's don't give me to hard of a time I am building my first Rc10 in 20 years. and I am not starting with much? this will be long and drawn out because of lack of funding. and waiting on parts? I have 2 chassis Not sure what one I am going to...

Yikes, those aren't the ones you got from me I hope! If so, I will make it right. If not, let me know what you need and I will get it for you anyway.
By the way, that body is going to look cool on there!
I decided to join because I couldn't find answers to the questions I had. I rebuilt an RC10T recently, and thanks to my buddy, I now have a pile of RC10 parts to try and make into a couple of cars. When I was a kid, the RC10 was the car to...

Welcome! I have an RC10 myself! If you need any help seeing how things are put together, I'll be happy to help! :D

What class did you race this car in when you did so well? stock or modified, were you competing against RC10s with a modified Frog, very cool
I'm trying to fix my old rc10 nds. It was the first car I built 15 years ago.I cannot find a CV axle or even a dog bone for it.
Last post
These are hard to find. I'd gladly pay $35 for a pair. If you're open to other options, I believe an RS4 cvd dogbone, associated CVD axle, and AE B4 hub with a drilled out hinge pin will work, but be like 10mm wider. I'm going from memory on the...
