RC10 Graphite Worlds Car to go Vintage Racing

Post by Vintagemishal »

Hi, I am new to the site, wish I found it sooner. Here is my Worlds Car that I plan on taking vintage racing. I bought this car new sometime around 91'. Car has graphite chassis, Lunsford Titanium hinge pins and turnbuckles, titanium gearbox parts, Graphite rear shock tower, and blue aluminum throughout. I plan on running my vintage Tekin G12c ESC and unknown motor, can't make up my mind. I am thinking of putting some J Concepts Rulux wheels on it, but don't know if they are a direct fit? Any info is much appreciated. Thanks

The J Concepts whees along with the B4 wheels have a different offset and won't work without some modifications to your car.
Check out the "whats old is new thread" it should give you a lot of info.

Thank you. The body is the HPI MT body. I think they are discontinued now?

Seems to me I've seen that hole somewhere before? Did they make that chassis like that or has it been on this site before?

The hole did not come in the chassis. We used to drill holes in our chassis', even the graphite ones to lighten the cars as much as possible. Wish I had not done it now. This car has never been on the site. I just joined, and I have owned the car since new.

It's probably Composite Craft as AE never produced a smooth composite chassis such as this one, just the graphite weave for the RC10.

I wish my memory was better. I bought this car new and it came with the graphite chassis. It is not an AE chassis, but was some kind of promotional deal through one of the big distributors. I have owned several Composite Craft chassis', and this definately could be one of theirs. Maybe someone on here remembers. It was sold as a RC10 Worlds Car with aftermarket chassis. Have to do some research, but also came with MIP CVD's. Don't know if all Worlds Cars came with the CVDs?

I believe you might be right! I thought it was from Horizon, but could not remember.
