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 have both and I think they handle basically the same, but I have not spent dedicated time driving them back to back in any scientific way with identical set-ups on a fixed course.
I recall back in the day when the RC10 Graphite kits first came out (1989?), team drivers ran them for maybe a season and eventually went back to the tub chassis as the team drivers thought the tubs were a bit stiffer. Note the 1993 IFMAR Worlds Champion car used the tub chassis (spawning the #6037 Worlds Car kit) not the graphite chassis. So maybe the tub chassis cars are more consistent handling wise or easier to tune.

The graphite cars are lighter weight, and much lighter in the front (just less chassis material and less hardware), and have less on-power steering. The graphite likes a slightly softer suspension and it feels a little more nimble.
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...
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...

Hey, everyone. How's it going? I am new to the site and I just got back into using my RC10 Graphite Team Car after about 10+ years. I just rebuilt the whole car and it is in great shape. However, there are some problems I am having with the car....

The shaft and nut move in/out and up/down very slightly. I think this might be causing the spur gear to wobble. Are these normal tolerances? Or should the shaft not move at all? I'm thinking of putting in a new drive gear and shaft to see if it goes...
I'm in the process of building an early Graphite Team Car and still gathering parts. The only thing i can't find in good shape are the wide front A Arms in white . ASC6206 I believe is the part number. Any ideas where to find them would be...

Naw we were begging for a team car rere just for those white arms :mrgreen:
New guy here and excited to get back into RC with my kids. I’m in my 40’s so these buggies were my first love. I’d watch my neighbor for hours jumping his RC10 on the sidewalk. My parents got me a first gen Ultima. Loved it. Lol....

I found some of the extra parts that came with the car. The round indentations behind the Tekin is a dead giveaway.
Best things I see are the ESC and cover. Motors look beat.
