My first RC10 Gold Tub!

Post by TenzoR »

Hey guys, scored this locally! Looks pretty amazing!

Brand new un-used Stealth Tranmission + drill plate + instruction manual!

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. :mrgreen:

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.

are the outline of the letters molded into the tires, and then painted inside the lines? or are just freehand?

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?

just look at it this way. rc10talk = the hood... those tires = a sweet set of gold plated 24" wheels with spinners...

how many people in the hood would want your 24's? :lol:

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!

if only I can find some tecnacraft wheels to go along with these :)

I don't know if the RC10 world is worser than the Tamiya vintage world....

Hey sorry, another question that just crossed my mind is, can I still get the bushings/parts for the old stock motor?

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 :(
