I'm not sure what those rear arm are but the front ones seems to be Andy's racing arm. The other piece that looks like it's for the rear is from Robinson but doesn't seem to be for the RC10?
Lots of nifty hop-ups that I've never knew existed! Can these parts be used/transferred ontp the RC10 CE chassis? The gold tub is nice but I want something more stealth lookin'
i guarantee your gonna get hounded for those tires. so to keep that from happening, just sell them to me.
the rear arms, as well as the universal sliders were made by raborn. the robinson racing toe adjuster is for the rc10. you have to drill a couple new holes to mount it.

What's so special about the tires? I really doubt they are good years, they do look original and have virtually no wear/crack on them.

the goodyear tires came in the early rc10 kits. and going by the color of tub, it would fit. is there an "A" stamped under the motor on the tub?
I don't about the "A" stamp as I havent taken apart it yet. Waiting till weekend to do so. It doesn't looks like it's painted but more like a sticker because it's really shiney. I can feel some molding though.
If it helps my manual is all white, not the yellow ones I thought I'd get
As Scr8p said, by the pale anodizing look of your tub and those Goodyear tires (they look like the original ones to me), you most probably have a very early RC10 there (though the shocks have obviously been replaced with more "modern" ones because they look more "orange" than "champagne" and what is more they do not feature the early spring cups). Welcome aboard by the way!

I think if you need motor parts, in the long run it would be easier to find a "salvage" motor for the endbell/internals, assuming the can and sticker is in good shape, and BTW Welcome!
Hey, would it be possible to transfer over the white parts from my RC10 CE to the Gold chassis?
Also, I notice the Andy's front arm is longer than the stock ones, can I use it to run modern wheels + tires in the front? I may have to change the hubs and steering knuckles? I know for the rear I need the Klein arms + b44 rear cvd + hubs + some bearings to run 2.2 tires.
Thanks ..
P.s. it sucks that all my tools are metrics from my vintage Tamiya building
Hi , this is my RC 10 gold tub resto , i start with this and now after some cleaning but the chassis have some dammage.
I want to make a Jay runner replica, soft replica with whites wheels but same paint.

Here is another project. New built out of the box. This one is staying all factory original with a box art body. The RC10 was the buggy I raced as a kid so it is my favorite. I am working on a couple of different versions for my collection. I...

looks like that would be a fun buggy to drive.
Heck ya, I'd throw a nice brushless system in it and go racing :lol:
I never tire looking at pictures of pretty gold pans. you have a really nice buggy there.
my next project is going to be a nitro powered gold tub buggy.....most rc10gt parts should work,has anyone ever tried this and what problems did you encounter?
Wanted to share pics of my NIB RC10. Also has NIB Magnum Junior, and period correct batteries. I bought the lot a couple years ago and it's been sitting in my closet. I open it to take a peek once in a while. I'm trying to get up the nerve to build...

Ah the age old question... to build or not to build. Doug Carter put it the best way to me... its not like its sealed...its almost a SHAME not to build it . Soon thereafter I found myself tearing open the bags of my JRX2
I was just reading the timeline on Team associated's website but they never say why they made the change from the gold to the black tubs. Does anybody know why?

He buys the dye stuff from the company that he bought the ano kit from, and he says that the dye for the black ano is actually 3-4 times as costly as ANY of the other colors. :shock:
No kidding. You learn something new every day... I wonder why...
As a kid back in the mid 80's I got into off-road and dirt oval 1/10 racing. I was wooed by the flashy ads for the original Ultima and the Optima/Turbo Optima. The RC10s where my competitors. I think in retrospect, I made the wrong choice and always...

buy the viper body. it is similar to the body you are missing. the missing body is called protech II and is discontinued/rare UNFORTUNATELY.
I have that kit with black parts NIB. Came with the viper body.
I've seen a previous post about putting B2 CVD's on a gold tub to use B2 tires and wheels. But what do you need for a gold tub to use B4 tires and wheels??
