Default RPM RC10 WHITE ULTRA MOLD.

Hi all,

For those who are interested I will be doing a strip, clean and restore of a Vintage RPM RC10 WHITE ULTRA MOLD.

Been after one of these for a few years in white, have seen a couple of dyed black and washed out red but never seen a Original all white.

Until NOW !!

For those who are un-sure of this beast. RPM released the conversion for the RC10 and had the WORLDS 91 front and rear end with RPM MOLDED Chassis. The front and rear was used at the Detroit 91 WORLDS by the TEAM DRIVERS.

Release in WHITE dye able. Many have were dyed in many colours.

I will need to seek what body actually fits it, looking at possible Losi xx ish but if anyone knows please let me know.

Also I believe this was released as a kit in 1992 call the HYBRID and included the best parts of the RC10 TEAM, TRAXXAS TRX-1 and RPM PARTS.

Parts used was,

RC10 STEALTH GEARBOX
TRAXXAS SHOCKS
RPM WORLDS FRONT,REAR AND CHASSIS.

So as soon as it lands here in the UK I will post pictures and start the restore/clean up.......

You will soon see Daz.

Its a Conversion that was available for the RC10 TEAM car. Wider front arms, wider rear arms and molded chassis.

Yes matey good.

Yes Steveo should be good to restore/clean it up. I been searching for a while, couple of years to get a complete white one. They do pop up now and again, but not in complete white, always either black or been dyed in any colour.

Hi Daz,

This is not Tekin matey, Its RPM. The Tekin conversion was a black mid motor conversion for the tub RC10s.

But yes these are very very rare. Its taken me over 2 yrs to get a all white RPM ULTRA.

Nice one Mark.....

Be careful - by all accounts the white RPM parts don't 'whiten' in peroxide like the Associated white parts do - they tend to turn brown instead

Yes; It was Top Models that assembled the kit of parts & retailed them.

I think the RPM chassis was designed to utilise the Losi Pro SE body?

It always confuses me why RPM called it the 'Worlds' conversion in their literature, claiming that it was used by the Associated team drivers? In 91 the top AE drivers (Masami, Cliff Lett, Kinwald etc) at Detroit were running the prototype Stealth cars that has been recently been replicated as the 'NIX91' kit - perhaps other drivers were using the RPM parts on their cars?

Yes your 100% rite about the 91 worlds. Even when RPM originally released the front and rear end it was called the worlds for the RC10 TEAM CAR where you had the template to cut the rear end . Strange but maybe like you stated other Associated drivers used it and parts ?
