So I'm new to this particular forum and I love it! You all seem very knowledgeable on topic.
I've been running Rc since the early 90's. Recently I became addicted to gold tub rc10's thanks to you guys. I went to the Dr. To try and give me something for this addiction and he said that I was rc10 edinger deprived.
Problem is I and like many others can't find a nice one out there.
What are some good options to try and find one out there? Piece one together? Also what is the AVERAGE going rate for a NICE 84' edinger rolling chassis these days? Thanks for the help
I agree with the addiction. I am just rediscovering rc10's myself. I want to get me a gold pan but it has to wait. I am really in to the graphites right though. As for pieceing one together that might take a while unless you have deeper pockets than me. I am still working on getting my rear suspention and both shock towers for one of my graphites. Welcome aboard!
Super phenominal cosmic plans! itty bitty bank account.
From what I've seen I would say around $300 give a take for an edinger car. Provided that the seller knows what they have. Best bet is ebay, there are always RC10's for sale you just have to look for the subtle things that make it an edinger car.
Thanks for the replys. Im going to keep looking on ebat etc. and find a resto. I'm going to take progress pics and post the results. I love the graphite car as well and that is on my list along with the worlds car... when I found out that Kinwald dumped associated for losi in 95 and associated took all his pictures off the box I had to laugh a bit. I guess i would have done the same. losi's are good cars and I race a couple today but my heart is with associated. whats up tho, when is the b5 coming out? im ready. I guess if it aint broke dont fix it, right.

You mean you guys have current race vehicles?
Haha, yeah. Full disclosure: I know this guy. He's pretty cool besides that he drives losis. I have a b4.1 and a t4 at the moment. We both got a sudden renewed interest in the vintage stuff and are here to oogle some old RC cars.
Chad, it was long enough ago that:
The cars we used to race remind us of " the old days"
And
Those same cars seem to be more expensive now than they were then. Haha
Hey Steve! Didn't know that was you. If you come by the series race on Saturday please bring the 84 rc10. I want to see that thing!
And for everyone else in the Chicagoland area, we are trying to set up a vintage race soon here. Thinking of doing prizes as well, but open for options.
Nice! Haha, but in this case its true. I wish there was still a made in the USA seal on the associated boxes. My 15ish year old b3 has less slop than the 4.1.

That bums me out that we don't have our own making the parts anymore. I was talking with a friend about that the other day. He owns and injection molding company and supposedly bid a job for one of the Rc car manufacturers and they turned him down over a penny. He said he could make whatever part it was for like 4cents and charge them 6 cents and I guess china was doing it for 5 cents.
I have compiled a number of RC10 project cars and can't wait to get started restoring them. I just need to decide which one to start with and then I will post some pics of my progress. Thanks to everyone for the great info on this site.

I would go ahead and finish the ones that are almost done, nice collection :wink:
A few months back (fueled by the RC10 Re-re), my quest for a vintage RC10 began... I bought a Cadillac fixer upper (car #1). Then, as I got more into it, I realized I that i needed a better source car for my restoration. So, I ended up with a nice...

Based on the title Of your post I thought you were going to be the first to incorporate a mini vac on you RC10 Odyssey project:)
Its not just Cars and Trucks folks, its aircraft, and I'm only just getting back into cars, my wallet is already cringing.

My first experience with RC was flying with my dad in the early/mid '70's. He stayed with planes (and choppers) the rest of his life but he and I did buy RC10's in the '80's. Oh, and he had a Tamiya Tank - a Sherman I think.
My entire RC Hobby life has been focused and revolved around Tamiyas. The Tamiya Astute was my first RC, followed by an Egress, Monster racer, and finishing up with a Too Force. That's was it, shortly...

I LOVE the Astute. Took me like 15 years to make handle like I want LOL.
But the RC10. I can just drop it on the track as built per the instructions and it's magic.
