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

Hi guys, my first post.

I'm rebuilding a 6 gear tranny gold tub RC10, mainly as a shelf queen, but we're also hoping to start a "vintage" race at the local club.

I need some parts to complete it, can you give me any ideas where to get them?

Body
Wing +wire
Rear wing tubes
Rear bulkhead
Front steering arms

Also, is it possible to fully ball race the car? If so, can someone please give me a list of sizes or where I can get them from please?

To make things harder, I'm in the UK!

Thanks for any help you can give,

Graham

I'm not sure about the tranny bearing sizes. You might try the AE site, they might have it on there somewhere.

Towerhobbies.com carries the parts you need. I think they ship internationally.

Welcome to the site.

ya, tower has the parts. i did some searching on the bearings, and this is what i got......

trans- (2) 3/16 x 5/16 unflanged, (4) 3/16 x 5/16 flanged,
(2) 3/8 x 1/4 flanged

hub carriers- (4) 3/8 x 1/4 flanged ( for 1/4 axles and 1.5 deg. carriers)
(4) 3/8 x 1/4 unflanged ( for 1/4 axles and 0 deg. carriers)
(4) 3/8 x 3/16 flanged ( for 3/16 axles and 1.5 deg. carriers)
(4) 3/8 x 3/16 unflanged ( for 3/16 axles and 0 deg. carriers

front axles- (4) 3/16 x 5/16 flanged (old style wheels)
(4) 3/8 x 3/16 unflanged ( newer style wheels)

hope this helps.

Thanks guys, I'm going to try and work on the car tonight again.

I went on Towers site but found it a little hard to find anything!

when you get to towers site, click on shop by manufacturer, then click on the letter A, scroll down to associated, and look under chassis parts, 1/10 scale bodies, and suspension parts.

Yeah, thats what I did but it seemed to take ages to find anything.

Is it possible to get a parts list for the old cars so I can serch by part number?

its actually worthless to try by part number.i have a rc10 manuel but from the gold tub rc10 and since then they had 3 or 4 more versions and changed the white parts to black and that changed the part #s

usually on tower if you find 1 rc10 part in the section it will say customers also bought and youll find another and then some but heres what i got for my rc10.same white parts but black
