RC10 Classic Runner
Here are a few pics of my RC10 Re-Re runner. Wanted to keep it mostly stock. Only upgrades are JConcepts bellcranks and 2.2 inch wheel conversions. Let me know what you think!

Re: RC10 Classic Runner
Looks nice. I definitely agree with the rear shocks location suggestion.
Two questions for ya:
1. What is the advantage of the JConcepts bell cranks over plastic counterparts?
2. What tires are those front and rear?

Re: RC10 Classic Runner
I know you're asking him, but I can tell you that the advantages of an aftermarket bellcrank over the stock one are a little less flex, a lot less slop, less resistance, and most importantly greater durability.
If you decide you want to upgrade your bellcrank I suggest this:

Plus the four bearings to replace the bushings.

1. Durability and less slop are the biggest reason for upgrading the bellcranks. I saw an incredible improvement once I did so.
2. The fronts are Proline 4-Ribs and the rears are Proline Dirt Hawgs. Both are 2.2". Also have a set of Proline Calibers for dirt and track.

Re: RC10 Classic Runner
Going from the original servo saver steering linkage to this, do I need all of those parts or just these (link below) if I have a turnbuckle, ball studs and ball cups and will order bearings anyway?85Edinger wrote:If you decide you want to upgrade your bellcrank I suggest this:

I don't have my car in front of me so I guess I'm mostly just asking if I need to order those aluminum machine screws as well.

What size are the bearings? I'll get Avids for $1ea
Those Dirt Hawgs (strange name) look good for asphalt. Are they? Will they become slicks after 1 pack? LOL
Re: RC10 Classic Runner
I think you would be good to go as long as you have extra screws. I'm pretty sure those screws are the same as all the others on the bottom of the car.

Re: RC10 Classic Runner
The servo saver linkage is already mounted with 8-32 x 7/8 aluminum screws so I'm thinking I'm good to go.85Edinger wrote:I think you would be good to go as long as you have extra screws. I'm pretty sure those screws are the same as all the others on the bottom of the car.

Re: RC10 Classic Runner
The Dirt Hawgs are quite good on asphalt. I use them as my A/T tires on most of my vehicles. I would definitely recommend them.
Re: RC10 Classic Runner
I would also recommend the Dirt Hawgs. I use them on several cars for street use and they last quite a long time. They are made with Proline's M2 compound so they are much harder than their current off-road tires.
