new here just got gold tub.have lots of ?'s

Post by bigmd »

ok guys im not new to rc or the rc 10.had one years ago along with various tamiys,losi and kyosho.then got into the nitro stuff.after selling my hpi savage months ago i acquired a tamiya wild one which i fully rebuilt and restored.my buddy from work gave me for free a rc 10 gold tub and a rc10L pan car.after looking at the many pics on the site i think i would like to rebuild the gold tub.its in good shape but is missing the the tranny wheels and rear axles.i am not into keeping it original and will be changing evertything to black.i will be purchasing the rpm front and rear arms from TOWER.what else do i need to change to use these?are there black shock towers available?what modern associated shocks can i use?i would like to install the stealth tranny and saw tower has all the parts.is it difficult to build,are there online manuals?whats a good motor to use?could some one give me a parts listing on what i could use from tower?would also like to use modern 2.2 wheels.will the rear mip cvds cover that?what do i need for the front to use them.

The original Stealth manual is available in the Scans Archive. Page 3 towards the bottom currently.

Can't help with the rest, I'm mostly a Losi schmuck. That used to run Stealths! Just follow the manual, it will be fine. And will handle about any motor.

Good luck with your build. I'm sure you other questions will be answered, this site is amazing.

check to see if your plate is drilled for the stealth. if you don't have them, trying to drill for a stealth without the template is a pain.

You will have 4 extra countersunk holes drilled in the back for a 4-40 screw, besides the holes drilled for the 8-32 aluminum screws.
