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!
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: http://www3.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bin/wti0001p?&I=LXDWHZ&P=7
Plus the four bearings to replace the bushings.
. . . you have Associated Green Slime for brains. And not even new Green Slime, but old gooped out Green Slime.
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?
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.
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.

The servo saver linkage is already mounted with 8-32 x 7/8 aluminum screws so I'm thinking I'm good to go.
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.

Here are some pics that had been sent to me earlier, and are now public which is why I am posting them at this time as I was just notified that it is on their webpage, of one of the bodies & wings I painted up for Associated prior to the...

Anyone else have a source for OOS JConcepts parts besides the bay?
i dug out my RC10 for hopes of getting it going again. It is the original 1984 gold pan, my first rc that hooked me. Anyways, I dont want to restore and shelf it, I want to upgrade and drive it. I am wondering what newer or modernized parts...
I wont bore you with the step by step pics of my build, as it is basically standard apart from replacing the bushings with bearings. Were I did go away from standard is by using a Viper body instead of the Protech. I also have a different rear wing...
I just recently dug my 1988ish RC10 out to get back into RC. I have been having trouble finding rear axle parts. I wanted to install a CVA but the ones I found on Ebay are really expensive at $89 and $109. Is there an upgrade? Do people swap out the...

I wanted to swap out the dog bones for CVA but it sounds like that may be more trouble than it is worth having an early version of the RC10. I am going to put it back together and see how it goes.
I think I am missing 1 of the springs for the dog...
I posed a question over at Tamiyaclub about whether or not AE would/could bring back the RC10 Classic. I noted that according to Shawn Ireland, some of the molds had been lost overseas when the factory using them went bankrupt. Supposedly, they...

The worlds suffered top shaft issues among other things. The aluminum 8/32 screws that came in both the kits are crap and will snap with the slightest of torque. The worlds kits lingered in stores and were eventually heavily discounted.
