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

Hi, I am new here and I would like to know what RC10 I have. What kit is it, and about what year do you think it is?

91-92 graphite team car.

Thanks! Any idea where I can get the original rims for it?

ebay or the back room of an old hobby shop.

Are these them? Seems abit pricey! http://cgi.ebay.com/Associated-RC10-alloy-jelly-bean-wheel-cover-vintage_W0QQitemZ140321669888QQcmdZViewItemQQptZRadio_Control_Vehicles?hash=item20abd2c300&_trksid=p3286.c0.m14&_trkparms=65%3A12|66%3A2|39%3A1|72%3A1205|293%3A1|294%3A50

Those are just the covers for the old style jelly bean style rims. You still need the inner parts of the front and rear to make it work.

Are you trying to make the car period correct or just to get it running?

You need 2.0" rears and 2.1 fronts - both smooth white plastic

I want to get it running with all original parts if possible. Are the second rims I posted correct? I have alot of experience in RC, but nothing this old. I have no clue what fits on this car. I also need bearings/bushings for the front. Any help is greatly appreciated.

Hey RC Chick and RC10resto, I live in Santa Clarita, which is kind of close to you. Do either of you know a place to get parts for these things?

Parts = ebay unless you can find some at an older hobby store.
Here is a picture of an original almost stock (need to change the tie-rods) never-run Graphite Team car.
Just noticed that the rear arm mounts & hub carriers are backwards, this is the third built but never run car that I have purchased with this problem. How much clearer could the instructions have been ???

Thanks for the info. I will continue our conversation through PM's.

Hey guys I would also like to find a vintage motor that it close to what would have been in this car. Any pics would be appreciated. I just noticed I need front wheel bearings and all of the nuts to hold the rims on. What sizes are these parts?

The nuts are front 4/40, rear 8/32. the front inside diam bearing is 3/16 flanged, but if you don't have these specific rims the outside diameter of the bearing will vary--

any roar 91 canned motor would be period correct, like a Slot Machine--
