RC10Talk - The Net's Largest Vintage R/C Community

Oops, I didn't realize there was a 10T rere forum! I posted my build tips and tricks and test results / setup sheet over on the regular old 10T forum. I think its pretty clear I intend to race my 10T Classic

Got some parts in for the 10T now I can put the RERE through its paces on the track and see how it does without having to worry about breaking parts and not having any spares.

I was going to do a shelf build on mine but I think im going to build a racer/runner out of it with a dragon punch rc composite craft replica chassis. I'm not much of a truck guy.

Haven’t built it yet. Hopefully when I move from NY to Tennessee I can build it and the CC I have boxed.

That is the next build on my list. Dan is doing some awesome stuff over at Dragon Punch

Has anyone seen or heard of a proper way to convert a 10T to fit a modern short course body(length and body mounts) and modern short course wheels(Hex). I think I will be going this direction with my second 10T rere.
Thanks in advance!

Factory works sells hex adapters for the 1/4" rear axles and that should let you put SC tires on the rear. I'm not 100% sure on the mounting point for SC truck bodies but you can see if replacing the body mounts posts with longer pan car posts would be enough to properly mount a SC body. As for the front hexes you can use the parts from a traxxas truck to make that work.

I plan to keep it on the shelf and stare at it every now and then!

That one is worth staring at

Did you paint it? Amazing!

Ha! No, I didn't paint this or my GT. Met a local guy at a swap meet that paints. Does great work!

He’s great!

I pre-ordered mine, but only recently got around to building it. I have the CC and 40th as well, but I assume no one wants to see pictures of box-art RC10s. Anyway, I went with a relatively mild brushless setup (10BL60 + 3650).

In fact, the ESC wiring sort-of inspired the color scheme. The yellow is camel, of course:

I struggled with the masking a bit, thanks to all of those body lines, but it turned out OK:

That turned out excellent! Nothing to be ashamed of with that build and paint job!

Did you carefully plan this beforehand? Or get very lucky? Either way, fantastic job!
