Hi all! Thought I would post some pix of my latest project. I have been collecting Tamiya cars for a few years and decided to make the move to RC10s. I cleaned up/painted the chassis and added Gmade XD shocks/RC10T wheels. I really like the Tamiya Hilux Monster Racer so I will be painting a new body to replace the used one in the pix.
@ tagger - the tires are for the Traxxas Summit 1/16 truck. Probably should have put it in the truck section...I decided to put it here because it is technically still a buggy chassis. Ooops!
@ KHS - the RC10 gurus are in a better position to tell you who made the bellcranks...google search produced Team Losi as a possible manufacturer.
I had a busy schedule last weekend, but caught this on a quick lurking tour I was able to make. I just wanted to comment on how cool it is. I love the black with red accents. Compliments the style of the vehicle very well.

Thanks guys! I appreciate the comments! So I wanted to do something about narrowing the front because the front wheels stick out farther than the rears. I found some narrow old-skool front RC10T wheels/tires and they worked great! I suppose I could have used the short front arms instead...might consider that later. Here are some new pics-ready for paint!
@ FunkyStickman - Thanks! I used a combination of monster truck conversion mounts to fit the body. At the rear is a mount from Andy's and the front I believe is from JG.
Hi fellas, I recently purchased a lot of good deals on RC10s thru Ebay. I had really good luck finding mint stuff at reasonable prices. In the aftermath of all the extra parts I ended up with plus some extra used chassis I had from my previous...

Hmmmm
I have an old Tamiya Monster Beetle body at home. Perhaps i should try to build one of these fo playing around..
I recently picked this up from a FB post after wanting a 10T since the 90's. Plan is to go through it and get it running on modern electronics.

front bumper looks rpm sc10t-ish...or traxxas rpm slash. picture really isn't good enough for me to see it straight on so its guessing.
As I mentioned in the intro post, I got this car for $50 from the previous owner who turned out to be a meth addict, so i probably saved it from a worse fate.
I had it sitting in storage for 10-15 years and dug it out. Reasons for digging it out...
The overall plan is to incorporate a mix of classic, world's, aftermarket and vintage parts
Here's a look at the chassis

Do you find that the dhawk rear bulkhead stiffens up the rear end of the chassis? The nylon bulkhead allows some flex in the rear, so curious if the aluminum bulkhead solves that.
Since this is the first and only RC10 I've ever built, I am unable...
Here are some pictures of my current RC10 project. I'm building it like the one I had as a kid, but with some upgrades that I couldn't afford back then. 2010-09-25_17-43-21_627.jpg DSCF2614.jpg DSCF2616.jpg DSCF2680.jpg DSCF2682.jpg DSCF2686.jpg

Here's a updated picture with the Composite Craft chassis.
One of the Tecnacraft rear axles can be seen in this picture.
I know it's too late to attempt to do the box art RC10 since I started just 2 years ago and collecting what's needed for the project.
Anyway, I would like to share my RC10 which is like any other RC10's here. :wink:
The car still need to be rebuilt,...

Thanks, I've kept buying that I needed for my box art project and tossed it on my bin box through the years. I was surprised I got too many of some of the items. I don't mean to be greedy just did'nt had the time to check what I already have....
Hello, I am a new member on this forum and write from Spain. I have several RC cars and i love old school offroad racing cars. 90's decade cars are my favorite. Associated cars is my favorite. I runed several races in 90's with a rc10 b2 and then b3...
Picked up this lightly used b2 roller that I tore down cleaned up and added new front tower and new rear tires and bearings to the steering. I will replace some other parts as I go as well as some of the hardware.

That LRP is sweet. I'd love to find one someday. Novak Hammers seem hard to find now as well.
