RC10Talk - The Net's Largest Vintage R/C Community

First post here. I love this site! It got me interested again in my old RC10. Mine is kind of a mutt. After sitting on the shelve for a quite awhile I went ahead & put the electronics in it. It was really just a extra car from back in the day & my main car (a graphite tub rc10) was stolen. Anyway, its got the old RPM long arm kit. It came with a template & you cut the back of the tub for new arm mounts. For the front, it came with a narrow front plate. Anyway here are some pics & thanks for a cool site! HT

Welcome!!! I think you'll fit right in. Nice car BTW, I really like the onboard keg that's next to the ESC

Welcome, Hangtime!

That's a great looking rig - love the black & gold. That RPM conversion is one of my favorite setups and yours is very nicely put together.

ya got some nice hardware on that thing...........what spd cntrl is that?

Novak GTS by the looks of things. I've got one in my 12th scale, nice and small and it's been dead nuts reliable.

That is a GTX. great speedo, hate the cap. I would like to find out more about the RPM conversion. some years back I called RPM but of course it has long since been discontinued. Its not some I see very often. I like to run this car but I'm afraid to break something not replaceable.

Welcome to the forum hangtime and nice ride. I'm not too much into the gold pans myself but yours with the black parts looks great. May be just the thing I should do with mine besides rob parts off of it . Also watch out...this place is addictive

Welcome! Nice work on the car. I like it!

Thanks for the good comments. That paint was the first one since coming back to the hobby after 12 yrs. I just ordered another body to try something different. Also ordered some of the nitro evader bx rears in white.

very impressed with the paintwork
Nice good electronics too, would be a shame to sit in a shelfer. so go run it
If you don't go crazy on the jumps and set your slipper well, you should not have a problem.

Thanks Mr Ed. Oh no, Its a runner. I'm trying to get a vintage class going at my local track.

Any info on the rpm stuff. anyone seen any of it around???

RPM stuff all over the forum my friend, hit that search button and pray; it does a poor job usually

How to use RC10T RPM arms to maximize an ultima into a mighty truck

Very cool truck there Mr. Ed

Very nice runner mate and welcome aboard! Gotta love the RPM stuff, here's my full RPM conversion, I can't count how many times RPM is written on this car, pretty much nothing left from the original '10 I call it the white chocolate bar There are many other very nice examples in the Reader's section, just dig into it

Very cool car kit there. That is a lot of white.
