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

Hi guys

I recently picked up a(nother) Rc10 Graphite, with a funny transmission on... I suspect it's an A&L but I'd like your input on that one. To note, I have one that looks extremely similar on a Tamiya Astute which i also received only a couple of weeks ago and that I haven't had a chance to disassemble... but i was told there's a belt instead of the typical 3-gear cascade...



Also posting a few more pics of the car just for kicks





Inputs welcome

Thanks!
Paul

mmmh the name only turns me on already

How did this thing perform back in the days? Efficient? Reliable? Or complete dog crap?

Thanks!

or a lethal weapon II?
I kind of forgot what the difference was, but it's been treated in older posts: happy hunting.

They were intended for the rc10, astute and ultima, I believe the outdrives were slightly different sized for the rc10.
Some differences are possible depending on the options also:
- blue pink or yellow
- moterplate can be anodised CNC-ed alumium with cooling slots over the entire surface, or the much cheaper version: black GRP
- slipper included or not (easily retrofittable)

the lethal weapon 1 had individual balls inside the diff to make up the bearings, the l.w.2 had standard sealed bearings.

Thanks for the info, all.

Time to take this baby apart then
