I picked up what I thought was a CE to build a runner.Turned out it was a drilled out A stamp with Hot Tricks Steering and an Andy's bumper.
Since the bottom is so scratched I decided to strip it down bare aluminum and polish it.
I've removed the gold anodizing and sanded the parts with steel wool.Still have a lot more sanding and polishing to do.
I'm trying to get as many new parts as possible and run at the local track it with a 2s lipo/life & a LRP brushless.I've found 90% of what I need but would like to run B4 tires and wheels.So,I'm still doin some research.Probably go with B44 CVA's and B4 rear hubs and bearings(at least I think that's what will work).

Whew!
Elbow grease!
Keep up the good work!
Thx!
You aint kiddin'! I spent all night Easter scrubbing away.I ordered these buffing pads that fit on my orbital sander.After I wet sand with some 1500 I'll hopefully use those to do most of the polishing.
i've always wanted to polish a pan, but after polishing parts on my 1:1 i think i'll pass.
thats alot of work. lol
Ha thx I use that name a lot on RC forums.Sorry,didn't mean to sweat ya.
It's turning out to be a TON of work.The words "What the heck did I get myself involved in?" keep coming to mind.Hopefully the carpal tunnel will be worth it.
I think I'm ready to embark on this adventure called RC10 rebuilding...I have collected most of what I think I'll need to get started on the rebuild of a gold A stamp Cadillac RC10 (suggestions or suggested changes always welcome!!)....

The shock ends on the re-re look different. Ugly even. Yes, eBay is your friend. Easy to find with used shocks, not too hard to find new in bag but expensive.
Well I picked up another one...LOL. Im going to try and build this one with my kids. Its an A stamp that was painted and has some worlds parts on it? I have an exact plan for this one in mind. It will be a car, but not buggy body. All the parts will...

I think coat hanger wire is a little too thick and it doesn't flex very well. I use .062 music wire; it's available from K&S (item number 504 I think). And, of course, there's the official wing mount set from AE.
I bought this car new the first year it was introduced. Had fun with it bashing and even got some racing in with it. When my son reached 12 he took an interest in RC cars and wanted this one, Seeing an excuse to buy an improved new one I thought...

Any tips or tricks for properly placing the holes? I had a friend tap the motor plate but I was easily able to mark the spot by turning the last screw in until it hit the plate.
As for mounting the transmission to the chassis, how do I get the...

Here is a downloadable template. Use this and build your own so you can drill it out! This is what I used and worked great on my sons runner.
I just recently purchased two RC 10's and I have been doing some research on this great web site.
Anyways the 1st RC 10 is a Championship Edition, I believe that it is a mid or late generation model.
Here are some specifics:
* B stamped chassis.

Good-looking CE. I should have bought some of these JC turnbuckles while they were still available :(
So I've been looking to rebuild the diff in my stealth as well as replace things like the idler shaft. I went into my LHS which had the parts but the guy couldn't find the diff rings and a couple of the smaller pieces.
I was able to get the 6581...
