Original rc10
 

I have a new found love. those gold tubbed rc10's. i was wondering if i could put a small BL set up in it. just a small one, probably like 6 cells or 8 cells. just wondering. thankks guys:Love: :Love:

Could i run a 3s lipo in it with a BL motor?

What rc10 are you talking about Toby? buggy or the truck?

the gold tubbed buggy

Sweet! how about spare parts? if you can get them , a 8S would do great. I wanted to go with a 8S or 6S on 6-8 cells on a RC10 T2.. it would be a nice speedy machine.. i think the 8S would be my choice.. (with a 9920 or a 7020), or an MGM and some lipoly's..

I was thinking maybe even smaller. i bid on one on ebay. and it is possible to get parts for them, i might get up with a guy i know that is making ym motor mount for the savage to see if he can make me arms aetc. anyways here is the one i want

Smaller? you said you did wanted to enjoy it right??

:D

of course. but wouldn't a 7L be good enough? i do not even know how i would mouint the beast

i am talking about the S serie motor, and now you are talking about the L's to be even smaller? :p I don't understand? :C:

OHH, i thought it said 8L. i apologize. i must be bline

Just be careful. that buggy dosen't have a slipper clutch and the ball diff is on the spur gear and i don't know if you can get diff parts for it no more.

you can, there is parts on ebay. and i can always find them some where

I just think you might want to upgrade to a stealth tranny. it will be cheaper in the long run.

is this what you mean?

Yes, that would work later models you would have to cut a hole in the chassis. I belive it will bolt up without modifications,but i'm not sure

With a stealth tranney and ball bearings it would be great because it had all metal gears execpt for the spur and the parts on it are tuff.

I brought an RC10T a couple of days ago, its got a stealth tranny fitted, complete RPM chassis conversion kit inc chassis, bulkheads, wishbones, hubs etc and all sorts of other goodies. Going to put 8 cells and a Feigao 540 6s or a 380c 9t in there when my new controller turns up and see what happens. Been running brushless in my T2 for a couple of months with no problems, so this shouldn't have many problems either. Curious to see how an RPM chassis will put up with abuse compared to an alloy one.

My T3 and T4 hold up very well

RTSbasic what rpm chassis are you talking about?

RPM made a full chassis conversion kit for the RC10T/RC10 a few years ago, it consisted of a chassis with front and rear braces to eliminate flex, front/rear bulkhead, all hubs, steering arms, wishbones, arm mounts, battery strap, shock towers, front bumper, basically thing that was plastic was made of their near unbreakable nylon stuff.

Its discontuned now, although when I spoke with them a few days ago they confirmed most of the parts are still around, because they have a limited lifetime warranty against breakage.

Couple of pics of mine (from the auction, it looks like it could do with a good rebuild):

I've already constructed a lexan plate to relocate the servo similar to how I've done it in my T2, which will allow for 8-9 cells to be fitted on the chassis. Only minor modifications to the car are required.

The other car in the photo is another T2 which I'm going to rebuild to check its all good and put back on ebay. Anyone in the UK here that wants one is welcome to make me an offer also :)

Wow, I heard that the orgional Gold Tub ones sell for loads. I would see how much you can get for it before you chop it up.

125 US my dad said to save all my RC money for the hobby show i am going too so i can buy hop ups fro the savage and mayvev a new vehicle thoug

What motor do you run in your T2, RTSbasic?

At the min, just a Feigao 540 6s. I have been experimenting with a Feigao 380 9t recently with good results as well. Both run on 8 cells in the T2. Building some 9 cell packs next week out of my older batteries so will see how well that works with the 380 9t. The 6s would probably overrev on 9 cells.
