RC10
 

Hi all,

Wow 2 years, Looking forward to this :)

Just so you know RPM still have the motor covers but you can't order them on line apparently you have to email them and pay by money order or something like that. Some sort of tax fiddle I think but a few people have had them recently I think there like $10 each.

Hi J,

The white RPM gear cover has been re-released for the Worlds and Classic.

Here's the email I had back for part number ASC6311

We are offering those motor plates for $10USD each, plus $7 shipping for 4 guards shipped to the UK ($47 USD total for 4 guards). Please send either cash in USD or an international money order made out to the owner of RPM - Mr. Richard Royall. Since we don't normally sell direct, we have no way of accepting personal checks, credit card or PayPal payments at this time. I apologize for any inconvenience this may cause. Please send your remittance to:

RPM R/C Products
14978 Sierra Bonita Lane
Chino, CA 91710
USA

Once we receive your remittance, we will send your requests parts out to you the following business day. Please be sure to send your remittance via traceable method for your own piece of mind and security. Also, please be aware that the guards we have available are black in color.
Take care and thank you for your interest and support of RPM products. If you have any other questions or comments, please feel free to send us another e-mail.

After all the excitement I forgot to remove the gear cover to see if there was a spur gear and slipper assembly.

So I just removed the cover. To my surprise its brand spanking :o

RC10 RPM GEAR COVERS NEW & OLD
 

Just to show you the differences between the Original RPM gear cover and the new re-release.

I am going to totally strip what is built on the RC10 Graphite and rebuild. This will include gearbox, diff etc.... with full rebuild pictures along the way.

I am starting tonight so more to come tomorrow......:thumbsup:

You always seem to land on your feet :thumbsup: looks good buddy. How did you get on with the shocks?

Just waiting on reply J,

BIG FAT FINGERS CROSSED.:)

Well have stripped it down tonight all of it is original. I stripped the slipper and gearbox down and all is brand new and original.

Teflon sealed bearings.
1st Edition Red slipper pad.
Layshaft
Idler
Felt between gearbox and motorplate all new.

I have washed, cleaned and polished all of it and the chassis is gleaming.I will post pictures tomorrow and THE REBUILD WILL BEGIN !!!!!

Forgot to mention.

Im after the 2 nylon nuts for the servo saver and arm. I have got a new white plastic servo saver kit but no nuts are in there. Its just the standard servo kit that comes as standard in the kit.

If anyone has 2 they would sell or know the part number that would be great.

Thank you.:thumbsup:

6282, if it's the 8-32 nylon nuts, they are still available.

Servo Saver nylon nuts.
 

JMMN,

Thanks matey really appreciate that. Thank you.:thumbsup:

RC10 Graphite.
 

Ok,

Last night I stripped and washed all parts. I have come to a decision on the RC10 and what to go for.

I will be fitting a Black Motor Plate rather than the GOLD.
I will be fitting Black graphite Front and Rear towers.

I was considering the fibre glass but want to keep it black and white and the graphite are a option. They are just plain not carbon pattern.

I am now posting pictures of it so far.........:thumbsup:
