cars lookin good disc
how much can you adjust the shocks on an rc10? like can you put it right to the ground? and how high can you put it?

discgolfer72

thanks wiser to many cars what (actually im thinking of selling one need some extra cash )

adam its fully adjustable and with the wide track on my last build it can be set pretty high





well finished painting my extra chassis and was cleaning up my parts bin well i found enough parts to fully build a car so here u go
also my updated list of working old school buggys


and while i was at it i figured how to use regular aftermarket spurs on the orignal 6 gear tranny sweet here are some pics the toe and chamber are still out of wack but i just got done building it

Great thread!! My friend just gave my son an old rc 10 Team assoc buggy minus a few parts, I was thinking of making this thing a speed demon for the street and gravel roads, he already has an Evader with MT tires and rims so we'll leave that for the rough stuff, would like to make this rc 10 so that when I fool around with my FG ST in a parking lot he can hang with me so 35mph is what I am looking for POSSIBLE? What setup??

discgolfer72

well if u want speed with out spending an arman a leg hit up ebay for a low turn brushed motor (little more maintness than brushless but more speed for your money) your gonna at least want a 11-12 turn motor (reedy and trinity are bolth good companys and if u look on ebay u can get for around 20$)

i run a reedy ultra 11 turn and a trinity speed gems 9t in my super fast cars

then u need a awsome no limit esc u can get a ripmax xtra no limit esc for 40 bucks at their website or search ebay for an old tekin esc 410s2 or better is what i reccomend (same deal look on ebay can be gotten for under 40$)
as u can see if uve seen any of my speedy vids im def breaking 35

only other sugg i have if ur mainly going onroad your gonna want the setup im running on my color change chassis car the oarts list is one or two pages back also u might want to get a diffrent spur gear if u still have a stock one (stock makes it hard to gear with the wide track upgrade

it improves the cornering/handeling by 100 %

I was thinking brushless I will spend some money on it but not all at once! What about lipo batteries? And what options do I have with the bodies? I also gotta bag full of tires and wheels that I haven't looked at yet, I think I will strip it down and get to painting and fiddling. It looks like it needs a driveshaft on one side(has a wobble) and I was going to rip into the tranny and make sure all is well there, can parts be had for a tranny new or do I need to search Ebay??

discgolfer72

the tranny is built pretty tough (ive never had any tranny problems with the tranny itself) i dont know about gears but the thrust bearing and some other parts are still avail (also there are some ebay sellers selling new parts there is one guy that only sells old rc10 stuff)

as for lipo/brushless if thats the way ur gonna go it will work but a brushless system thats gonna get u the speeds u want isnt gonna be cheap (probaly around 300 bucks)

i have yet to be beaten at my local track in a all out speed contest by a brushless system (thats running 6 cells brushed/brushless)

discgolfer72

the stock body is the sidewinder /and the other assoicated body that fits is the viper

adam-69

how much differance can cleaning your brushes make because i just did and there was a lot of black came off them and now its easier to turn my back wheels hehe also i take it batterys make a big differance? so i need new ones of them hehe my ones are very old and falling apart but they give te car more speed than my friends but his last longer[&:]

TBOLT

disc I ordered the parts on your list, Ya I got your warning if ya wanna play ya gotta pay. A lot of stuff was backordered and some even discontinued like the spur gear. I did find a spur gear in the box O parts and even pinions, I am concentrating on getting the chassis parts and once I get a rolling chassis again I will look into the motor and speed control. By the way do you have a part number for the turnbuckles I will need since I am going WIDER?

discgolfer72

tbolt
i warned u that some parts were hard to get the one i had the most trouble with was the the front nose peice took me hours on the net before i finaly fooound a site that stocked it
if ur doing the full truck conversion id not use the stock spur it makes it really hard to gear with the large tires . i would get a nice kimbrough spur

im not quite shure of the turnbuckle part #'s i can measure them for u if u want the size
also here is one part thats not in the full conversion list thast u will need
http://www2.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bin...?&I=LX2929&P=7


if u dont have a manual here is the rc10 manual
http://www.theshreves.com/rc_stuff/manuals/ae_rc10/

and in here are the pdf manuals of the rc10 and the rc10 t so u can see the parts diffrents

discgolfer72

adam yea its a really good idea to keep your motor clean its rec to clean abot every 3-5 runs
as for bats yes good bats are a must i reccomend at leas t3300 gp/ib bats

adam-69

yeh my brother (who raced the car when he was younger) said he always noticed it going faster when he cleaned the motor he also said he raced agains an r10 and beat it quite easily but i think it just depends on the motor he said tamiyas were easy but some team losis beat him
