[socal jared]

Got this one off ebay last week. It was in good runner condition so I dropped in electronics and went racin.
Those stock tires sure are slippery on clay

Well done .... RC10 was a design ahead of its time and still puttin a whooooooooopin on new cars/trucks of today.

Nicely done, I got a kick out of the corr truck at 1:30 passing you on pure horsepower and then immediatly crashing
Soundtrack took me right back to grade 9. Thanks

Nice job!

I was just at WCRC for a wed night club race two weeks ago, what a great facility.

Jared, PM me when your going out, I would have met up with you. I have a set of "clean" rims I am ready to mount up a set of Suburbs/Scrubs on. Just need the Scrubs and rear molded foams. I was just running it out front of the house yesterday after swapping in a new steering servo (fast & stronger one). I went real old school in it, brushed 15X2 on a Novak Tempest Pro. Only thing "new" on the car will be the receiver/lipo & tires.

i find it more fun to run a gold tub rc10 than a b4.1 just because of the reaction....i finish the same either way, just find the new car more forgiving.

The stock stealth era cars are awesome on the track still! Some 3/16" CVD's and some TT Phoenix BX2 rear wheels and Duratrax fronts and your golden!

Sounds good bro, I will be sure to PM you next time I'm out there, hopefully this coming weekend. I saw your new build post, I will be watching to see what you do with that one!

That sounds like a simple cheap way to get some modern rubber on the ground. That seemed to be my main setback, zero traction. Cool pic!

I am meeting up with Daryl from A&L tomorrow so I will have my steering set in hand along with my dynotech arms, carbonworks worlds towers, and b44 cvds. Unfortunately I cant find any damn hubs/carriers local. Nobody has the RPM GT, custom works or losi around here. I have the 10T hubs but it seems like thats a no go with the arms and b44 cvds. I guess I can order from Tower, but would rather support LHS if I could.

[JK Racing]

10T hubs should work, the RPM GT were designed to replace them (someone correct me if I am wrong). or which Losi hubs do you need (LXT?), I've got those

[socal jared]

I can't multi quote on iPhone, but this is from the oin thread and is what led me to believe 10t hubs won't work.
 Re: What's old is new tech thread
Since there are several different upgrade suspension options listed here, I've tried to go through to determine which ones are the most popular/common. I'm going to miss a few of course but these seem to be the main ones so hopefully anyone who still has a stock RC10 rear end who wants to upgrade can use this as a reference. Feel free to add or correct any details that I miss as I guarantee that I've missed or left some things out.

If using Klein rear arms and B44 CVD's:
Hub options:
Losi 2038 3/16" x 3/8" bearings.
Custom Works 3241 3/16" x 3/8" bearings.
RPM RC10GT 70272 3/16" x 1/2" bearings.
RPM World's (which bearings?)
Additional:
B4 rear axle spacers


If using Klein rear arms and B4 CVD's:
Hub options:
RC10T/T2
Additional:
B4 Hub bearings
B4 inner hub spacers (a must)
B4 outer axle spacers

[askbob]

The 10T rear carriers should work with the Klein arms and B44 cvd's.
Oh yeah, nice tunes!

[JK Racing]

Stock 10T carriers work just fine: AssoMan's car with 10T carriers -

Ingredients for the rear end:
- RPM or Dynotech "World" rear arms (long)
- stock wide chassis
- stock arm mounts
- RC10T hub carriers

[socal jared]

Thanks JK Racing! I really appreciate you confirming that for me. Obviously I was a bit confused on that one. Well, I was going to wait for all my parts to arrive tomorrow, but the 10T is going to get dissected right now!
