No Pictures but I still use an origional RC10T, well I don't think there's anything origional on it... Has the RPM chassis and arm converion on it and the RPM tranny. I also have a Kyosho Outlaw Rampage Pro.... I have an unused RC10 RPM tranny that I think is going to make it's way up onto ebay real soo, have so much stuff I don't know what to do with it anymore....

Here's some pics of my old Tamiya Hotshot (1985), Kyosho Vanning (1986), and a new build 1987 MRC Acoms Excalibur Hawk boat, which I know isn't a buggy but since it was put out by the same company that owned Tamiya and made components for cars back then, I felt it was a noteworthy addition. I recently restored both cars; the Hotshot has full ball bearings, an original Techipower motor, and a Duratrax ESC.

well assoicated wide track a rms are close the part where the knuckle wheel attaches to is the same and the part where the arm attaches to the care is about 2.2
but they are only 6 cm long they might work if u get new hinge pins and sand down the inside of the a rms where it attaches to car


this is what they look like

Man, I'm still having a tough time finding good chrome/aluminum wheels to put on this RC10. I see that I can get pin/axle adapters that will make it work with hex mount wheels, but it seems like all the wheels I'm finding (in alum/chrome) are either for touring cars (too small), or trucks (and way too big).

I've found some decent ones made for the Traxxas Rustler (http://www2.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bin...6&I=LXZS52&P=K) but the fronts are just as big. I'm stumped as to what to do to get a matching front/rear pair for a 2WD buggy. Seems real tough to find these for 2WD buggies.

Well I finally got my RC10 to start to shape up.
A quick bit of history.
I got the buggy for free. It was in several pieces but most everything was there. The radio ans esc both turned out to be bad, it needed a body and, worst of all, the previous owner thought all the white plastic parts should be painted black. Oh well, I'm working through that stuff though it's a real pita to get that paint off.
Anyway, here're are a couple pics of it, not quite finished but on it's way I think.


As long as this is a vintage vehicle thread, here's a couple more. The car is a Koysho nitor ZR-1 Corvette. Completely stock including the Kyosho radio system. It's circa 1986 and still runs as good as the day I finished assembly. It could use a new set of tires/wheels.

I'm not sure what the boat is but when it's running right it's still fast as all get out. It too is a late 80's vintage and the darn engine is so old K&B does not know which p/s fits it so I'm kinda stuck.

I just found a Traxxas Blue Eagle-LS at a scale r/c plane show and swapmeet for $7.00. I'm using rustler and stampede parts to put it back together for a little extra durability ans a slightly wider stance
