New guy from N. CA

Post by Victor »

Hello - I was an avid and locally competitive racer from '88 - '98. My first car was an RC10. Still have everything plus a couple of 10Ls, including an 10L2 I finished just before getting run down on my motorcycle. Got away from R/C during a two year recovery but find I keep looking at my boxes...can't wait to see what I forgot I had...

The first project will be getting the RC10 running again. Anyone know where to find seals for the original gold shocks? Thanks...

Welcome!

I am told that the traxxas rebuild kits work well and come with the retaining rings that will fit. Personally I have found a few old rebuild kits on the 'bay over time and use them. If you can get away with just orings you can use mip, associated, or pretty much any other 1/8" shock oring
It's time to stand up to the bully. Support the companies that support the industry, not the ones that tear it down. Say no to Traxxas

Thanks for the ideas. Located my stuff. Remembered I lightened my gold chassis and it came close to minimum weight. Found my Futaba 1st gen PCM, Tekin reflex charger, Novak charger, Novak T4s, a mosfet programmable sc, another graphite aftermarket RC10 chassis and a bunch of wheels and tires. Wow. Time to clean, clean, clean....and lay it all out. This is kind of exciting. Oh, need the original style body; My original is really beatenI up my beat up. I used Velcro to attach the body to the pan. I also recall polishing and polishing the original trans gears. I'll need to take that apart and see how I can work with it. The Stealth trans I adapted was stolen....man, do I have parts!
