I bought this new in 1990 I think. It's an Rc10 team car in kit #6035. I have never raced, just enjoyed whoppin all the Tyco's. I would like to clean it up for my son and I, where should I start and where is the cheapest source for parts? Do Hobby Shops still carry wheels, tires, bodies and such that fit this style?
Neat car! I ALWAYS LOVED THE TEAM CARS. Parts are pretty hard to come by since most of them are discontinued. If you're patient you could find what ever you need, simply watch the online bid sites and watch the BST section here. Associated still makes a few odds and ends, but keep in mind it is a 20 year old car. I think you have two options, sell it to a collector for them to restore and buy your son a new RC with that money, or be patient and find all your parts you would need to rebuild it. What ever you choose have fun! Oh yeah 3rd option, you restore it and keep it and buy your son his own new RC!
Do you notice any handling differences between the RC10 graphite team car and the RC10 team car with tub chassis (both fitted with white nylon parts throughout)?
I haven't driven either yet. Been a while...greetings all :)

I would say the tub chassis has more flex and probably a lot bigger sweet spot for setup
Here is one of my newest additions to my RC10 collection.
Got it from a buy now auction right off the bay. I think it is a nice modified car and I got the information that it was driven by a former Italien Team Associated driver.
I will only clean...

What was the reasoning back in the day for trimming down the chassis. Weight only?
weight was a factor but also being able to get the body down as low as possible helped airflow. You needed all the advantages you could get before the battery...

Thats a pretty sharp car. Wish i had taken pics of my stuff back in the day
I used to race this sometime in the early 90s it's been in the shed ever since but I thought I'd digg it out and show it to you guys, it hasn't been run in over 15 years I think and maybe one of the oldest all black stealth bomber themed cars that...

Ha ! thankfully this forum lives. Family life happened.. I just found a box full of half built RC10s and weird parts which I can no longer remember what the crap they were. Should be able to figure it out now and continue on
Here we go following on from my other thread(Where I bought all kinds of stuff) I now have lots of scrubbed up and cleaned parts all ready to assemble. I should have enough for a runner but also to rebuild a Team car into a runner. Just going to...
