Back From The Dead!

Post by Big_B »

Hello All,

I dug out my RC10 recently after a thread from a Mustang Forum I frequent reminded me that I still had it, and then I found this place. Here is a pic of it right out of storage - hasn't been run in at least 10 years, and was only used once or twice even then.

I need a new radio (transmitter only) for now, and I have a set of wheels but no off-road tires. My radio bids keep getting sniped on ebay! Anyone have an old Magnum they want to part with?

Also this battery hasn't been charged in 10 years, do I have a chance with it?

hey man welcome, your rc10 looks sweet im diggin the foams, i like the ones in the front cuz the rims look big, somthing about it makes it look hardcore. then the ones in the back have green rims and i like green. You know what man for that battery it looks like it has a cool retro design on it or somthing if anything keep it for display. id love to have a battery like that for display.. this kicks ass.

peace,
gamma

Hey thanks man. I got a radio finally, and everything seems to still work. That battery doesn't hold a charge too long though! I'm seeing if I can revive it.

Finding tires for this thing is a nightmare! From what I have gathered the tires I need are 1.9" front and 1.6" rear. Otherwise I have to change out the wheels, and I can't seem to figure out what will fit.

Can anybody help me out with this? I juse need some offroad tires to run with, not necessarily originals. What can I use? Tower hobbies search function ain't to helpful either!

Yeah I keep bidding on the ebay ones and end up getting sniped.

I found some fronts here, shortly after placing a bid on some ebay ones. Wouldn't you know it, I actually won the ebay ones, so now I have more. Oh well.
