I just picked This up yesterday for 50 bucks. The guy said "It was sitting in the original box for 20 years after I was done playing with it". It came with wheels and tires , I dont know what there for. The tires dont fit on the rc10. there is a old kyosho charger radio, two hump packs. I think it was a pretty good find . I need a few things like the wing the knockoffs for the rear wheels. there is a slight crack in one of the steering pieces
the body is pretty rough and the tires are like bald.

The two tires and wheels are rears for Tamiya cars such as Frog, Hornet, etc. The pic with the three are two fronts and one rear for the Subaru Brat or Ranger XLT, the fronts would accept Tamiya sized Bearings.

Lots like a keeper.

Oh and the steering servo saver were known for cracking after use or after someone forced a large sized ball end in one of the holes. The plastic seemed pretty brittle.

Well I drove the car today in my front yard trying to be extremly carfull. , but the axle in the rear hun seems really loose and after driving around for about 3 minutes the dogbone poped i could hear it spinning . It looks like there needs to be a washer on the back side of the hub but the bushing included with not fit beacuse of the bearing on the out side (tire side) of the hub. the wheels have about 2* positve camber in the back because of this . any suggestions? Now the sad thing is I'm gonna have to find a another one to use as a runner , but I'll install the stealh tranny soo im not scared to strip it out.

I LOVE those front tires. They are the bomb. I was lucky to snatch up a pair in an auction the other day NIP :lol:
