RC10 Team Car (~1990)
 
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt"><font size="3"><font face="Calibri">Greetings! This is my first post, so I thought I'd share a little project that I'm about to embark on... resurrecting my old RC10 Team Car from the early 90&rsquo;s.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </span><o:p></o:p></font></font></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt"><font size="3"><font face="Calibri">A little background first&hellip; In the late 80&rsquo;s, like any 10-12 year-old kid, I was into RC cars&hellip; I started with a Tamiya Clodbuster, then went to a Kyosho Ultima, and finally ended with an RC10TC.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </span>As the 90&rsquo;s progressed, I moved away from the RC community and my gear just sat and collected dust.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </span>Now, at the age of 33, I re-discovered the RC world when I saw a video of the re-released Tamiya Lunchbox, and decided that I had to have one.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </span>Then my brother got back into it with a Traxxas Stampede&hellip; Next thing I know, we&rsquo;re rifling through my parents&rsquo; closets looking for our old gear!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </span>Anyhow, long-story-short, here we are now&hellip; <o:p></o:p></font></font></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt"><font size="3"><font face="Calibri">I pulled out the old RC10 Team Car, and considering it&rsquo;s 20+ years old, it looks like it&rsquo;s in great condition.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </span>I didn&rsquo;t really bash it too much back in the day, so it&rsquo;s not too surprising.<o:p></o:p></font></font></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt"><font size="3"><font face="Calibri">Anyhow, it&rsquo;s currently equipped with an aftermarket wide-A-arm kit from RPM, is fully loaded with Novak and Futuba gear from the same generation, and is lowered (why I did that, I have no idea).<span style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </span>But I&rsquo;m slowly going to get it back up and running, and ready for the dirt.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </span><o:p></o:p></font></font></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt"><font size="3"><font face="Calibri">As with anything, pictures are probably worth more than what I&rsquo;ve written above&hellip; so look for those soon.<o:p></o:p></font></font></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt">

thanks yah, it's a fun car... electronics are skitterish, so i'm debating just dropping a brushless system in it. like a castle or reedy. not sure though, just got a stampede 4x4 vxl, so that's keeping me busy :)

i would love to have that car lol!!! it looks good!

RE: RC10 Team Car (~1990)
 
thanks, yah it's a good car.

question for you guys - if i drop a reedy 3300kv brushless system in it, what pinion should i use?  it has stock stealth tranny gearing and will probably run buggy wheels, MAYBE slap some truggy wheels on it for fun.  oh and i'm just running nicd batteries for now.

I would be very careful running that buggy. The RPM front ends are getting more difficult to find every day. Great lookin buggy btw!
