HISTORY OF THE RC10T

[Jim85IROC]

Associated gave their team drivers factory blue anno tubs. I've seen a few , in fact I think Tom Stacey has his for sale right now

One of the parts trucks that I bought for the Pro 45 tires had a blue annodized tub. It's kind of beat up on the bottom, but the blue anodizing looks original.

Edit: Upon closer examination, I can see now that my blue tub is one of the factory blue powdercoated tubs, not anodized.

Hi could anyone tell me if there was ever an RC10T graphite produced or are the ones I've seen modified buggy chassis, thanks in advance

Nope. All aluminum tubs.

Are the original attachments to this thread long gone at this point? I am trying to compare two different 10Ts I have.

The original poster of this thread was heavy into the 10t. He had all of the variants and laid everything out. Then, he decided to sell all of his stuff, and for some reason, deleted all of his pics. Jim took it over to try and make something of it. He hasn't been around in over a year. So yeah..... it is what it is.

That being said, it's really not hard to figure out what's what. Post pics of your trucks and someone will tell you.

I have a complete truck, and 2/3 of a parts truck. The whole truck has T2 style arms, but the parts truck has narrow arms. I am assuming the narrow arm truck to be an earlier version?

The bottom ones are the early versions, would have originally been white.

They look like the earliest, thin versions. The inline hex axles would have been for an earlier truck as well.

I cannot edit posts, so I will add new one's. I will try to get more done in the coming week...... and for the second time.

#7001 "early"
while an early modal, and very similar to the very first. The most "know changes" are tire's and non webbed arms, non counter sunk off line B stamped chassis

[marlo]

Top... Thin non webbed
Bottom.. thin Webbed

[marlo]

Early off line B stamped chassis variants. NOTE: The 10T NEVER...came
with a gold pan, while the one on the left is an RC10, it is only shown for comparison, I never did own one a black version!
Note the extra battery holes. Some exist with variants of non counter sunk combos.. Factory errors, production changes, etc.

Adding to thread to show picture of early RC10T half hex ball cups.

[fleetwood472]

Picture showing 7035 RC10T Team truck universals. Early,mid style in top of picture. Later style as they were switching to T2 parts on bottom. Notice that there is no more collar style flare at the joint where the dogbone portion of the universal meets the axle portion of the joint.

Picture of rc10t chassis variations. Left to right early offset B-stamp, mid production B-stamp with no offset drilled for both stealth and 6 gear trans, late production B-stamp with no offset and 6 gear trans holes not countersunk.

Turns out that this isn't true and an nib gold tub truck with gold nose and motor plate came up for sale. The community decided that it was a valid kit.
