hi guys i am kinda new to this ,but not. i am wanting to take my old gold tube chassis rc10 and bring it up to date with new shocks, arms,rims, streering bell crank, and such. but i dont know what to buy to make this happen, i got a set of v2 shocks off my b4.1 wc buggy. and i would like to try and run b4 wheels. i just need parts an part numbers.

Go to the RCTech Forum and click on it...You will see Resurrecting/Modernizing your vintage rc's...Give it a good read...Not being a smarty pants just steering you in right direction...Post some pics of the car...

ok will do, it just a gold chassis with a stealth tranny. i got it off ebay this year. as a rtr with electronics, how do i post pics on here?? is it like rctech??

Try these threads. There are more around so just stay awhile and do some searching thru the Vintage RC10 Section. You'll find other threads too but these will cover quite a bit of what you are after...

Parts needed to run modern 2.2 rims/tires on your rc10*

p.s. welcome to the forum.

Gold chassis & stealth tranny cars are nice





Welcome over here from RCTECH, we will steer you in the right direction we also have a good discussion going on set up and what changes to try at the track.

thank u guys, i want to try an use the b4 wheels, and top shaft, rpm arms or the kline arms. i do have 2 sets of shock for the buggy, v2 and v1. i do have a set of inline b4 front axles, a clear body and new wing. how do u post pics on here. i want to show off the begining project? for a speedcontrol i will use a tekin rs with a 13.5 or a 10.5????

host your pictures on photobucket, then use the "IMG" link photobucket provide and just past into the text you type.

B4 shocks will require different shock towers, longer for the front & shorter for the rear. the links provided will help you get the B4 wheels onto the buggy.

here is my project.

very nice starting point

i got a extra set of b4 in line axles, i will start with that this week, and i will try to order the rpm or kline arms too. but which arms r the best too get??? rpm or kline???? i think the kline look to be the toughest looking set and durablity. what do u guys think, and i also found that there 2 different rear arm mounts on the buggy now so i need a new set.

If you have original Klien arms they are super fragile being Delrin and cut on the corners (weak point engineered into the arm by Dennis Klien) I wouldn't use them at all as they were designed for oval duty. The basic RC10 CE is better on the track than a highly modified one is by far, check this thread out too before you go nuts yet. http://www.rc10talk.com/viewtopic.php?f=38&t=27135

Very nice starter car...

OK I WHEN WITH THE R.P.M ARMS FRONT AN REAR, BALL BEARING STEERING, THE RPM 1 PCS BELLC CRANK PCS , SO THE SHOCK TOWER I HAVE ON THE BUGGY IS TOO SHORT, SO WHAT TOWER DO I NEED? MAYBE A RC10T FT TOWER? OR A STEALTH FRONT AND REAR TOWER?? LET ME KNOW GUYS. AND WHAT DRIVESHAFTS OR AXLES DO I NEED TO RUN THE B4 WHEELS? OR DO I GET NEW REAR HUBS???

i am on ebay and i found a set of shock towers and a tranny brace, the same guy makes them all and he says that you can run b4 shocks, so why cant i run the big bore shocks????? here r the links to each pcs. can u guys tell me what u think of the parts??

i couldnt wait so i went and got the RPM arms , the bell crank link, and both towers and the brace. ball bearing bell crank and the b44 cvd kit. and i hope that is all i need to get it on the track?? for my enjoyment. i will have pics as soon as i can as i get the part in. it will be nice to see jaws drop when i put the new/old buggy down to race against new style buggys.

who said you can't use big bore shocks?

if you did not get longer rear arms, those b44 cva's are of no use to you.
