Here's My RC10 Racer Project. It Has a Traxxas 20 Turn Stinger Motor, a Duratrax Sprint 2 ESC, and a Vintage Futaba Radio (original).Its in Pretty Good Condition Other Than A Piece Of **** Body. It Has Bean In The Family For Years. My Dad Bought It New In The 80's. What's Coming For It Is A New Body, Wheels, a MX3FHSS, a Duratrax Streak ESC, and a Reedy Ti World's Edition Modified 12T Motor. I Am Only 13 So I Am On A Tight Budget. I Couldn't Find 2 Of The Wheel Bearings So I Put Bushings Instead. Here's Some Pics. [P.S The Wet Stuff Is Water]
The Trio
welcome to the board! Nice car. I even kinda like the old thrasher body! If you're gonna go with a 12T you better have some good batteries behind it!!!
I agree, I think the body looks tough.....kinda Mad Max looking.
I'd keep it.
Man, those wheels look great. I had no idea there was anything other than typical boring cone dish racing style available. I took a chance on the RPM's fitting on mine and got lucky (with some special modifications for the front axles). Those Ultima wheels look like they were made for it, and would be hassle free.
I may have to look for a set of those myself.
The Proline Dirt Hawgs tires are sweet, and a perfect choice.
Projects and shelfers: Late Edinger, RC10B2, Dual Sport, GT, Kyosho Turbo Ultima, Triumph, Tamiya Sand Scorcher, Blackfoot/Monster Beetle, '67 Beetle, Nikko Rhino, Traxxas Fiero, Slash, Hand-built Dune Buggy..all on here somewhere...
First shot looks great, to use an old phrase "keeping it real" I think a proper runner like this photographed real well in a studio type environment would make a very cool short.
12T + 6 gear is that going to hold up
Experience is that marvelous thing that enables you to recognize a mistake when you make it again.
It looks like you stripped the paint? Did the Lexan turn brittle? You may want to paint it white or else paint it on the outside otherwise all that discoloration will probably show.
I Actually Did Strip The Paint I Tried To Paint It White And I Failed Misserably. The Lexan Didnt Turn Brittle Though. I Might Just Use This Body As A Basher So I Tried To Make It Look Like A Rat Rod hmmmmmmmmmmmmm. Im Kinda lost right now
a few years ago..........I saw a nicely modified Ultima A&L version in a Japanese website........... which got rear trailing arms.........together with a belt-driven gear box..........really want to build one up myself ......... :)

A&L had the aluminum ones I remember, and Houge made the plastic\nylon versions (what I had) houge also made a machined aluminum set of rear arms also
I just started to build one more RC10, I choose a florescent green powder coated chassis to show the A&L stiffner kit, A&L ball bearing steering it and A&L front long shock tower.

I don't have a great answer for you but....
You could take the long hpi belt and route it as it should be, and measure how much too long it is. Subtract that from the length of the long belt and you should have a pretty good approximation. You know...
I'm starting my vintage RC10 goldpan build. I have a set of the Proline 1.5 front knobby tires but need to know what wheels I am looking for to mount them on? Are they Tamiya or Proline? What car are they for? Part number? I know they won't be easy...
Hello All,
I competed a couple of years around 1990 with a really nice build of RC10 buggy. 1992 I sold it along some other nice cars to be able to buy a certain 1:1 car.
Over the years, I have often regretted selling it. After many years of...

Man this car is great - I love all the subtle but effective modifications, that means it can kick some modern buggy ass on the track. Inspiration for my runner project 8)
Good action shots too - I wish we had some purpose built indoor dirt tracks...
