Looks like the SG Coyote body. It's and 80's italian race buggy that never took off.


Hey now, I had an SG Coyote back in the late 80s! Interesting buggy.

Anyway, I have a question - I have a vintage RC10 buggy, I've posted pics in here (a while ago, granted). It's got the old school gold shocks that are thinner in diameter compared to my Stampede big bore and Bosscat (which are as big of a dia as the Pede big bores, actually).

The RC10 shocks have adjustable pre-loads via a collar/screw setup, where you loosen the tiny screw, move the pre-load collar up/down, and tighten. I've stripped out one collar threading, another is close.

I'd really like to just get the pre-load plastic C-shaped spacers like my Bosscat and Pede shocks use. Problem is, the spacers for those are too big in diameter for the RC10.

Anyone have any links to where I can get the thinner ones for the RC10? Tower would be great...but I can't tell how big some of them are, or if they'd fit these older shocks.

Thanks!

Status: offline 		No love for this question (above) in the thread I created, so I'll add a bit more info here for you RC10 junkies:

I really don't like the screw/collar setup to hold the springs in place. I'd much rather use preload spacers that would fit. I can use a larger screw to fix my current issue, but I really want the spacers.

Best I can tell, my shock diameter is 3/8" or perhaps 7/16". (Tough to measure with a ruler and not a caliper). My Bosscat shocks, by comparison, are about 1/4".

Problem is, preload spacers I'm seeing on Tower dont' list spacer diameter. No idea if any of these would work or not:

I've always loved the look of the old Kyosho Chevy 4x4, and I finally scored one after 23 years. Out of fear of running it and breaking pars, I built this..

B2 parts are hard to find because it had a VERY short production run .. then the B3 was released. Ebay is your best bet. Grab a B2 and tear it down for parts. Also some parts from B3 will fit the B2 .... goto Associated's website and d/L the B3 and B2 manuals and compare part numbers.

I even offered my entire collection, but he won't part ... he said it's like his child LOL !!! I told him he could have visitation rights .... LOL !!! He says he built it from a kit in the mid 80's .... he says the kit was almost more than buying any of the 4WDs that were coming out the the time. He still runs it ... with friends. They have a club with a bunch of old RC10s and various Tamiyas & Kyoshos. They have some really nice buggies. They race at Yatabe Arena in an off-road vintage class. He won't race the 4wd RC10 there ... only at a club track, but he runs a few Javelins and Optima Mids at Yatabe.

Here are some of his other buggies:

The Hotshot looks great! I'm thinking of picking one up. What's the rough hobby shop price for 'em? I know most hobby shops have them at much lower prices than those advertised on Tamiya's site.

Anyway, I've got a re-release Hornet, so just dropping by to say that. I bought it for $50 USD at a hobby shop just south of the border (Canada/US) at a hobby shop called Niagara Hobby. They specialize mainly in large-scale trains, some static models, but not really R/C, so I got this for a steal!

I looked around and couldn't find a real idea on the asking price. Any ideas what I could realisticly get for it? It runs perfect and the only thing "wrong" is a crack where the wing attaches. I did a temp fix with tape and it seems pretty good. I still have the manual and parts list for it.
