New Guy Intro and Questions

Post by eltee »

Hello,
I dug out my original RC10 buggy (Gold Pan w/ bearings) a few weeks ago. It was in decent shape but I upgraded the motor and set it up for Lipos. Still runs well. I also acquired a 2nd one on a whim and it is setup for street/indoor running. Looking for parts and spares I discovered that there is not much out there. 20 or so years ago when I bought the buggy, there were tons of Associated and aftermarket parts and accessories. My current quest is to find wheels/tires for off-road and well as parking lots.

So, did Associated stop making wheels hoping we'd upgrade to newer cars? I am pretty surprised that tires and wheels are so hard to find.

Anyway, I did a search on this site and it was a wealth of info, but I still have a few "new guy" questions.
- Does anyone have an interchangeable parts list for the Goldpan, B3, B4, T-models, etc.?
- Does anyone have a source for wheels / tires?
- What nut size are the axles? I tried a 4mm 70 thread and it does not seem to work.
- Does anyone make a complete kit to convert the axles to fit current wheels?
- My street RC10 has no cover on the tranny, are they required/available?

Thanks for any info and please forgive all the questions.

welcome .

this method is a little more crude, but it works. you can take a 1/4 stub axle with the pin in place, and clamp it in a set of vise grips. take the axle and heat it up with a propane torch then carefully press it into the wheel. the key is to keep it as level as possilbe, if you don't the the wheel will wable. them you will need to clean up the melted plastic, a dremel works the best after that run a 3/16 bit throuht and you should be in business. i have done a couple of sets and they work rather well
