Old school rc10's

[purplenut]

Hi all
I'm restoring 2 rc10's and wondering do the cva's from a b4/b5 fit the old rc10?
And I've searched for spares for the new rc10 but not many seem to dos decent range any ideas
Thanks

You could try and find some MIP drive shafts, try DMS.

Alternatively you can use B44 rear driveshafts, but you have to change the rear hubs.I'm not quite sure which hubs are used. B4/B44 wheels then go straight on.

You could just get you local Model shop to order the AE shafts from CML for you.

the vintage forum might be a better place to ask, lots of old people in there

You would have probably been better off posting this in the vintage section...?

As you are probably aware the RC10 has been re-released, both the original 'Classic' gold pan & Worlds spec versions are now available.... Spares I presume are available through stockists of CML distributed products, for each model. Since the 'Classic' has the original 6-Gear gearbox & the end-of line 'Worlds' re-release has the Stealth - spares pretty much cover all the ali-pan RC10s.

The Worlds RC10 re-release includes a few upgrades to make it more capable/reliable using modern brushless/Lipo tech - including twin disk slipper, MIP CVDs, 2.2" wheels, Bulkhead accepts taller Lipo, V2 threaded shocks - fronts being longer than the original.... all these parts should be available & be a direct fit onto an original (Stealth) RC10.

Failing that - here's an interesting thread on RC10Talk.com discussing different ways of running 2.2" wheels on an RC10 - it largely defunct since direct-fit wheels in 2.2" dia are now so widely available... but it does discuss using B4 CVDs/wheels, generally it seems you also need to run different hubs etc. http://www.rc10talk.com/viewtopic.php?f=38&t=8848

Simplest solution is to order the CVDs made for the RC10

There are quite a few spares available now the kits were rereleased
