It all came in today. I was right, Graphite Team Car in great shape (after the dust was knocked off). The other monstrosity? Some caddy turned truck thing. They both came with old Novak ESCs, futaba servos, radios, and receivers. This is how they came.
Pretty clean bottom
The previous owner had a bunch of articles xeroxed and saved. This was before the internet for you whippersnappers. He even had a track sketched out.
I got the graphite one all torn down and most of the parts cleaned. Definitely happy with this purchase.
It also came with a cut but unpainted body. No holes either. Needs a bath though.
My only dilemma is about the parts. They were all dyed black. I don't know if I should just use them or replace them with white parts. Finding the parts will be easy, hell I have them on other cars. I'm just impatient and want to put it back together NOW! It's definitely going on the shelf.

Could you guys tell me the differences between a regular RC10 Graphite and a RC10 Graphite Team car besides the obvious...teflon shocks and stealth tranny? thanks in advance!

Thanks guys I found exactly what I needed thanks to you guys. I appreciate it.
Do you notice any handling differences between the RC10 graphite team car and the RC10 team car with tub chassis (both fitted with white nylon parts throughout)?
I haven't driven either yet. Been a while...greetings all :)

I would say the tub chassis has more flex and probably a lot bigger sweet spot for setup
Does anyone have any photos of the graphite Team car other than this one? I'm debating on using a similar scheme on a graphite car and wanted to get more details of it.
Well over a month ago I was on Ebay looking for some 1/25 model car wheels and found a add for some tires that had this car also in the back ground, and it was included in the sale but was only mentioned as a old RC car, I knew it was a RC10 of some...

Thank you all for the complements. I didnt do much but give it a bath and scrub it real good. I got lucky it had some kind of tape on the front and...
This will be my first of hopefully many chronicled clean up rebuilds. Out of all the different versions of RC10 I’m lucky enough to own this is the one I’m most excited about. 4C7E3324-1C06-4B25-9407-0E40C41FFB8B.jpeg...

Ok great, finally had the opportunity to pick it up today.
I finally found a pretty good Graphite Team Car. I had been looking for one for very long long time so I just couldn’t let this one slip through my fingers. As there is really nothing to rebuild I will take time with the build and yes, I will also...

If anybody is interested I was going through some of my old rc10 parts and came across a brand new still in the bag pair of front pyramid spiked vintage tires for the rc10 they are brand new never even been mounted I can't see the thing the pictures...
Just wanted to share this one again with you guys. I had long lost pictures of the car and as I paid a visit to the attic I thought I would quickly snap some pictures. The car was used for racing by a fellow Belgian racer. He also gave me this...

So this chassis looks like the lower deck from a Composite Craft '91 worlds conversion chassis set. Is there any connection between the two? Just curious. Did CC grind these out for AE?
While they look a bit similar they’re actually very...
Nice find!
