Some of my RC10's

I wish I could get some nice Newcastle Brown Ale decals:woot:

:wub :drool:

Nice! The wheels, the immaculate chassis, the white nylon... true RC porn:drool::woot: Amazing paint Job too!

I also have an RC10 CE, bought well beaten and after some TLC, brung to a new life as a shelf queen and a roller.
I just love it, the handling is amazing, it's still one of the very best cars I've ever driven on a smooth track. :wub:wub:blush::lol:

That is proper lush!

And I particularly like your Composite Craft RC10 :)

i used to have one of these many years ago they were a wicked car i dunno if i still have mine somewhere

i should never have sold mine, gorgeous car mate.:woot:

Thanks for the comments gents, I feel very lucky to own it:)

Unfortunately the Composite craft car is no longer, it has evolved into the model shown below, another never ran new build with many Andy's upgrades.

I won't ever run these models as the chassis are so easily damaged. I have a number of other vintage models that I run which are not in such pristine condition including both gold and black tub RC10s and a Graphite RC10 to mention only a couple;)

How could you :cry:

That ones cool too though :thumbsup:

apart from the 'bay, any other places to try and find an unscratched rc10 chassis? yours looks mint!

omg, they dont build em like that anymore, my dad raced one of these years ago, that'd look mint with a john player special shell, *cough cough*

First of of all you need to know which tub you want, there are a few different version A,B,C, black, gold or powder coated (to name but a few) each one is applicable for different models and different eras.

Depending on which version you want will depend on how much it's going to cost you (and it will cost you), the interest in collecting RC10s has gone stratospheric in the last three years or so.

Unless you are lucky enough to happen upon one there's probably only one other place you have any real chance of getting one :-

http://www.rc10talk.com/

You'll need to spend some time there contributing to the forum first before you can obtain access to their buy/sell/trade section but it's worth it if you need old Associated parts.

The only problem is all the guys there are chasing new tubs and parts to.

There is another option:-http://i270.photobucket.com/albums/j...ED/rc10tub.jpg

Now being reproduced by Fibre-Lyte with matching nose plate:cool: ££££££

: ) thanks for the info, did have a look at the carbon tub a few days ago, you are right, serious £'s but would be a nice shelfer

i was searching for a gold tub, whats the differences between teh abc types? what have you got?

i have been lurking around rc10talk for a bit, just need to get around to signing up and posting, need to get pics of my current toy up

have been browsing your tamiyaclub showrooms, you lot on here have some amazing rc's, love the vintage stuff : )

damn how do u delete posts??

Simplistically the first gold tubs produce were not stamped, the next were stamped with an "A" these were drilled and counter sunk for 6 gear transmissions only. Then the "B" chassis which were drilled and counter sunk for 6 gear and Stealth transmissions, the "C" chassis were a little different some were almost identical to the "B"s and some were drilled for both transmissions but only counter sunk for stealth, the shades of gold anodising also varied (it can be quite a task getting a chassis, nose plate and motor mount all with the same shade of gold:rolleyes:) There are more differences but these are the main ones.

The ones you see on my cars pictured above are "B" chassis, for comparison the one below on my Andys Truck conversion is a new "A" chassis.

I also have a new, unused and unmounted gold "C" chassis:woot:;)

Thanks for the reply, unfortunately its made finding the right one a little more trickier!!

:lol:

p.s. wanna sell that extra chassis? seems like you already have a few too many : )

You can never have enough shiney tubs;), anyway a Fibre-Lyte one would be cheaper:woot:

really? suprising, guess i will have to save my hard earned for a carbon rc10, shame, did want a gold tub :)

I was only joking maybe I picked the wrong smiley, however you do need to find someone wanting to sell one first. You're going to be looking at anything between £50 - £150 depending on the version and if the vendor knows what they're selling;)

Thank you:)
