Look what I dug up

Post by HotRodDiesels »

My old RC10ce I believe.
It's time for it to run again but I could use some help getting the "right" parts.

I would like to make it a runner.
I am working on learning the new technology.
I figured this site would be the place for the car itself.
1 of the drive axles is worn is there replacements/upgrades available?

Just keep an eye on ebay for the original parts you need. I believe MIP still makes CVD's for the RC10. Somebody correct me if I'm wrong.
Nice looking car by the way.

if your car has 1/4" rear axles, yes.

That's a fancy way to say 1/4" right? :lol:

If your looking to run/race it there are just a handful of things you really "have" to do-

1). Thundertiger Phoenix BX-II 2.2 rear wheels (correct offset, B3 clone)
2). MIP B2 3/16" CVD set & 4, 1/2"x3/16" bearings
3). Duratrax Evader 2.2 front wheels (RC10 correct offset)
4). Re-position the battery box forward 1/2" if using lipo battery
all available @ Towerhobbies

B4 topshaft/Slipper assembly is optional but recommended if your racing-
B4 wing mount fits well too and helps out tons too-
Yes, it will handle LiPo and brushless without a hitch as long as you can build a diff correctly :wink:

Now that's what I call helpful.
Thank You

Smaller I.D. bearings to fit the cvd's/stub axles right?
MIP doesn't have direct fit for the 1/4" bearings?
It already has 2.2 wheels but I could definitely use more.
I will be running Lipo's but moving the box is no big deal.

Any thoughts on a modern servo?
I have a Futaba S9301 but don't know if it will work with new recievers.

It's not that MIP doesn't make stub axles to fit 1/4" bearings it's that you can only buy modern 2.2" wheels that fit the 1/4" axle from JC Racing in the UK.

The Thunder Tiger Phoenix BX-II rear wheels require 3/16" stub axles.

yup, but you'll need new bearings to run those. 3/16" x 3/8" flanged (as long as you have the stock hub carriers).
