RC10Talk - The Net's Largest Vintage R/C Community

Well over a month ago I was on Ebay looking for some 1/25 model car wheels and found a add for some tires that had this car also in the back ground, and it was included in the sale but was only mentioned as a old RC car, I knew it was a RC10 of some sort so bid, and I won it. after a month I gave up on getting. well it arrived today out of the blue. I need some help figuring out which car I have? it is a RC10 graphite, I thought it was a TQ10 at first but I removed a servo and manual speed control I found it has AE engraved into the deck. it has a stealth trans and green shocks but a stright front shock tower, and a shame he drilled holes in the wheels so I will need to replace them. so its a latter version what ever it is?

Pictures in a min

its not a tq graphite rick, looks like a 6036 graphite team car with an old front tower. what ya got planned?

I am not sure yet maybe just a restore or a whats old is new? I have always wanted a blue andodised RC10 so I may switch out the to a tub?

is their a part number for the B4 slipper assembly or do they even offer it as a set?

you can pick up pull-off B4/T4 slipper clutch parts on ebay cheap. usually they sell all the clutch parts, and then you need to pick up a top shaft as well. sometimes it's all together.

looks like a nice project, a good cleaning and some JC racing wheels would be a nice setup. then you can decide if you like it or not.

well I cleaned it up a little and am getting ready to put it back together

Looks like a good entry for the 2012 VONATS.

I think my Losi would be offened but I am working on another RC10 goldpan runner for that? the RC10's and XX losi seem to be the hot ticket their. I am just trying to deside on powder coat or reanodise on the racer?

what Body belongs on this Graphite car?

throw some short arms on the front, and some stock tires. I think that would allow you to enter it in the classic class. That way both the Losi and Rc-10 could run. I was thinking about doing that, but I really want to run the Sand Scorcher again this year.

started putting it back together? it is looking good I am waitting on the rear bulkhead rear rims and shock clamps to finish up in the peroxide and I will finish her up. I am still looking for front rims and tires.

That looks great Rick, how long are you letting the parts sit in peroxide?

Great Score Rick!

those were in their at least a month or so? but not much time in the sun. I just put them down in the garage and kinda forgot about them. I have a little 6x9 2" deep pan I line with foil and they were in their long enough for the Peroxide to evaperate

I need a set of turnbuckles to finish up this buggy is their a set thats not to expensive?

you can get this set from tower hobbies:

that's about the cheapest associated turnbuckles you can find. there are a couple other cheaper options, but they wouldn't be factory 'correct'
