hey hoopty, just a heads up on a body for your rpm car. in the instruction sheet for mine, it says, "any body designed for the losi "se" will fit nicely."
it also says they made a rear shock tower and body mount to use a losi body.

its a yz10 belt tensioner. i still need to grind the area of the nose brace tube flat so it fits a little better, but it ended up being a pretty damn good solution to the pesky missing mip tensioner.

rpm made a rear tower and mount to fit a losi body? i did NOT need to know that.... i thought it was almost done...
i havent ever seen anything like that on the 'bay, and i'm a rpm whore. does it list the rpm part #?

tis the season.
the part # is 8023. it says it has the proper holes and mounting tab for using a losi se body. so, i'm guessing that it has the molded in eyelet for the body pin, like a stock losi tower.
they also had their own shock springs for the conversion.. p/n 8027, and 8029.
i got the springs, although i just have a couple sets for the front. i used gold springs on there to match the shafts.
dunno if they made a rear set or if those numbers are for different spring rates.
i may have one of those rpm rear towers on one of my other rpm rigs. its rpm buggy #1 in my readers rides collect post. it uses a rc10t rear body mount. but even if it is rpm its dyed black...
hows yours coming along? i figure maybe me posting mine would inpsire ya.
well mine hasn't gotten any farther than the way it looked in my build-up thread. i didn't even get to modify the rpm trans case for it yet. all in do time. the steering enhancement kit is probably gonna hold it up the most. i've been looking for one on ebay every day, but no luck so far. shodog was selling one a while back, but i didn't have the chassis at that time, so i didn't snag it. my biggest problem is too many projects started, and i can never seem to just focus on one.
they'll all be done.................................one day.
Yummy rides Hoopty. Of course the MIP 4WD looks rather yummy. Would you happen to have the part numbers to the wheels/tires? I've almost given up finding suitable aluminum wheels for my last MIP conversion.
Hi guys, just wondering what year these came out and if there are different versions of the belt conversion sets? What do you need extra to fit one of these to an RC10 buggy?

you just need big extra money :lol:
And to beat me to it. They are always sold before I get my offer in.
Hello, I just stumbled across this forum. What a great place for all these vintage racers. I am just finishing off a couple of projects that I have been thinking about for a long time. Here is my 4wd RC10. Pretty basic build. I took a new built RC10...

It was an ebay auction from awhile back and I'm not sure who it was. I have been sourcing parts for the last year in order to finish or start builds and things are kind of a mess right now. If I run across another set I will let you know.
I received this from the mailman today. I have a problem with the bell crank thou. I need the one for an RC10 either stock or aftermarket part will work for me. Used ok. And a rear shock tower to go with that. And also, I'll be needding a balack...

Killer score. I still have a lightly used RPM kit that I need to put on a buggy one of these days. Still looking for the right chassis....
Hi
After a long layoff, I'm working on my MIP 4WD conversion. So far I have both front and rear gearboxes and the cable installed. I had to bend the front chassis braces, and now it looks like I will need to add spacers to join them to the front...

Wow great pictures ! That car is very well done. I'll have to get back to work on mine. Thanks for posting these.
Here is a pretty great early Cable conversion. One gentleman mentioned they thought they might have seen this photographed at a Southern California track. Any help tracking down old photos of it running would be great. Special Thanks to...
