Having raced almost every production (and some not production) 2wd cars this year, and not finding one that suits me I have decided I might build up a black tub team RC10 car and try racing that next year in our regionals and maybe even Nationals!
What do you think guys? I know the stealth will handle anything I can throw at it (6.5 or 5.5 brushless), but is it possible to still get some CVD's for one?
I'll get some Fibrelight carbon towers, put threaded shocks on it and generally trick it up.
Just an idea at the moment.

And I'm defo going to come and watch that I'll bring some $30 beaters along and if you get your tub in the A I will sell them as the next new big thing
Experience is that marvelous thing that enables you to recognize a mistake when you make it again.
Dump the tub for a good graphite plate and stealth tranny and you'll be competitive. You will also most likely want a front sway bar as the rear will not steer enough with modern tires.
The tub cars are ok, they are just heavier. If you've raced an rc10 you will notice that the front end already dives really hard into turns with alot of front body roll. This is mainly due to having shorter front arms in comparison to modern off roaders and most likely will affect handling on high speed sweepers. No big deal though, it is what it is, LOL. Its all about setup. For the front end, thicker oil, smaller hole pistons or a swaybar will help get your rc10 pointed in the right direction along with the proper tires ofcourse
The tub is the better choice, they always ran better than the graphite chassis on our UK tracks. The anti roll bar will take away steering and was never used over here. I'll see if I can find some of Dreschers setups for you.
Hell yeah MAD MAX episode 4 'ROAD FURY' gets underway here in Australia this August. Due to be shot in NSW and possibly released in 2 years time.
I cant wait!
Hi guy’s, it’s been a while sins I started a building thread here at RC10 Talk. Not sins Drop Box stopped the possibility to link pictures… you can say that I’m a drop out… :mrgreen: But now I will try to make a new attempt to make a new building...
He started on it so i had some of the hard work done.
I was lucky enough to have a new set of Kyosho medium golds for the front. A new gear cover was purchased. New Lazer adj wing mounts went on. I custom...
