Hi everyone,
I’m new here. Just came across my 1994ish Associated RC10GT and decided to knock the dust off it. It hasn’t bee run in 25-30 years.

Disassembled, cleaned, and reassembled the engine but my pull start and one way bearing need replaced. It’s a Dynamite TNT .12 (model number DYN6126). Does anyone have the engine parts list or know where to get one? I know it’ll fire.

Thanks in advance!!

as far as knowing where to get the parts I can't help but to say ebay. Last place I found them...but its been awhile since I've looked for nitro parts. The one ways are really finicky but easily clean out to work again unless you are in complete wore out state. On old ones I used to let the sit in some fresh nitro for a few days and then a simple green bath and a light oil on them again. Haven't had fresh nitro in quite a while but when I'm revitalizing my nitro its the trusty old simple green soak.

Good luck.

Hi Todd,
Thanks for the reply! I did exactly that and it’s free with good compression. The only thing I’m missing is the pull start. I suppose it’s probably better to just transplant a newer engine in there?

depends on what you are going for I guess. Keeping it old school with that dynamite in it is nice but if you are wanting something newer it seems nitro has been pretty much dried up for motors. There's plenty of runner rc10s out there with the 2.5 traxxas motor but pretty much they are just parts breakers unless you are a talent of a driver . I've got big block, traxxas motored, and just about every popular small block gts from bitd sitting here gumming up so I'll have to find a better way of redoing them. Most of mine though all lost they pullstarts since I used a bump starter.

Is yours missing or just broken?

Half and half. I have the pull handle and housing but am missing the on-way bearing, spring, cord pulley, etc.
