Intriguing ad in RC Car Action - RC10 re-release?

[Diamond Dave]

I would definitely recommend bearings on the outdrives. I've yet to build a modernized RC10, so I am looking forward to it.

- Limestang

Anyone have confirmed date for delivery or pick up at the LHS?

I agree, bearings are a must everywhere.

I am going to start picking up parts and such, I have not inquired as to when they arrive for sale.

I just got back from my LHS and forgot to ask when the kit might be in.

I picked up some trail truck parts and new brushless boat. (Nothing I needed that's for sure)

[limestang]

The latest date I've seen slipped to mid September.

Iam going 17.5 brushless . And black AE turnbuckels.

...that's where i'm going too.....what sizes (bearings) and how many do I need to outfit the car???

[SnoopMaxx]

Does anyone recognize that ESC on the RC10Classis ?
Is it the same as the RTR ?

[terry.sc]

It's the prototype Reedy competition ESC. It's definitely not the same as the RTR XP Digital one.

I read that they moved the holes forward a bit and removed the bottom on the rear bulkhead

yea thats all i heard so far too...i bet the front battery mounts are still the same so its not on my buy list.. a rear bulkhead, rear arm mounts retail $5 each and the Steering Assembly retails $8 thats on my to buy list so far.. i really like that the chassis, motor plate, and spur can be used on the stealth.. just makes it look even better for the team car rere

Meh, it's a toy so it's ok if kids are building the parts in China lmfao!

Well, I said I support overseas production in some instances not juvenile labor!

[85Edinger]

I bet the change to the transmission is that the gears no longer have burrs.
Having spent about 9 hours making the gears mesh properly in my all steel 6 gear, I can appreciate that!

Am I right to assume that standard bore rear springs will work for the rear shocks? Will there be different springs released for the shorter front shocks?

[JK Racing]

front buggy springs have not changed in length from the .56, .71 & .89 sizes. IRRC

Sort of Joey. If the springs are (for example silver, gold or green), they're 1 3/8" long. Technically, the modern (black, brown, silver etc etc) .89 front springs are probably closer 1 3/4" long.

And kipps hobbies http://www.kippshobbies.com/ still make good short shock springs to give some tuning abilities to the 0.56 (and 0.71) shocks. He has 2 to 6 lb, 1-1/4" springs, which are lighter than most touring car type shock springs of that size (which are way too stiff for an RC10).

[JK Racing]

I'm liking the Tekin RS I recently picked up, but been eyeballing the Speed Passion Revention stuff....17.5 motor, havent worked out gearing quite yet, but something to put me near the 5.2~5.4 FDR.

I have the club system in my carpet car and it is great.
