Very nice!! I just finished a rebuild on the very same car.
It's going to be a great running for you.

Here's mine:



I did a Worlds type treatment to it with RC Carbon Works parts and hardcoated shocks.

Thanks for the advice, I think with this build I want to keep it period correct though who knows, it may go in a different direction.

vsefirearm, that is a great looking RC10. I really like the RC Carbon Works parts on it, I may look into what they offer, I need a battery brace anyway.

Carbon works stuff is nice...Once you stray from stock it will turn into a custom shortly after...One cool part leads to the next cool part

I agree, Carbon Works stuff is very nice indeed. The choice was easy for me, the car was missing both towers, trans brace and a few small items when I got it. It was a no-brainer, RC Carbon works also had them on sale.
As REM mentioned once you start upgrading, it's a slippery slope. I had to put the hardcoated shocks on it once I put the carbon worlds style towers.

vsefirearm, did you just put your car up on ebay?

It's funny how stuff always gets piled on the slot car track! At least I don't feel so guilty now!

LOL my poor son is after me to clean it off so we can race

Yes Steelhead. I like to build them then move on to the next one. I listed it Sunday night. I have a few others in works that need parts.

wow, these runners make me believe mine will start on the path to racing also

Yeah, thought it was yours. If I didn't already have a CE I'd be all over yours.

The Stealth tranny all assembled and mounted on motor plate.

A pic of the front end so far, the discoloration on the chassis, motor plate, and nose are really starting to bother me, I may have to find a new chassis, etc. for it if I can. The shocks are kinda in the same boat, I may buy some hard anodized shock bodies.

Got the slipper clutch on. I'm using the manual for the CE, and in the instructions there is a #6586 thrust washer and thrust bearing. Mine had a bushing instead of the thrust bearing, is this something Associated did or the previous owner? I'm also missing the two 4/40 x 3/16 screws to mount the gear to the hub. The nylon nut also has to go.

associated changed from the bearing to the bushing to improve the clutch performance.

So this is where I'm at right now on the rebuild. I may end up tearing it down again depending on what parts I decide to go with, I may get the blue screw kit form Associated and replace everything, since I am missing a few screws here and there.
