mtbkym01 3946 Posted April 18, 2014 Hello everyone, after documenting my RC10 Classic build here, I thought I'd do the same with my Worlds Car. There was an issue with my kit, as highlighted in the re-re thread, but I pressed on with the build anyway, with the replacement part to be fitted once it arrives. Anyway on with the build and pics Starting again with the box and contents (a lot different inside to my Egress which arrived 1 day later ) First up I went ahead in the build to the Stealth gearbox build as I had read lots of issues with the topshaft, and wanted to know if mine was gonna be a problem. This kit being the Worlds Car comes with bearings in place of the oilite bushing found in the Classic (except on the steering bellcranks). This gearbox build is very modern, and infact almost identical to that which I just built in my RC10 B5 kit also. One of the issues that has been apparent in these kits is that the flat section on the topshaft had been machined too far along the shaft, which once the slipper is mounted, causes the inside slipper plate to rub on the motor plate, no such issue with mine, plenty of clearance here So, after building the stealth and seeing that "I've got a good one", I thought I'd crack on with the rest of the build, so went back to step 1 in the manual (I didn't take as many pics as I thought sorry) The steering on the milled out black tub is where we start, and it's here that I discovered that I'll need to order some bearings, luckily for me, they are the same bearings as used in the rear of a Gold Pan, and having a full set spare for when I get around to restoring my old Edinger, so I "borrowed" 4 from there until the new ones arrive. This pic jumped ahead a bit and shows the front bulkheads, shock tower and arms fitted to the chassis. I really dig the contrast beyween the black chassis and arms, and the "white" parts Onto the rear sees the stealth, rear bulkhead, and rear shock tower fitted. This bulkhead is the same as the one from the Classic, and funnily enough, the manual call for "cutting" of the lower ears with all the holes, "for a more authentic look". At this stage I haven't bothered, and not sure I will. In go the wing wire tubes, a very tight fit, a "racers tip"here is to apply a little CA glue before installing the tubes into the bulkhead Rear arms laid out, and fitted It's here where I encountered my problem, first CVD assembled without issue, once assembling the second one, I discovered the hole in the cup is drilled off centre , preventing it from being assembled Took it to my LHS, who will be in touch with the Australian distributor first thing tuesday morning for a replacement. It is the same part from the *4 2wd buggy, T4 truck, and B44 4wd buggy, hopefully I wont be waiting too long. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mtbkym01 3946 Posted April 18, 2014 So I pressed on with the build, despite only having one driveshaft (easily fitted once I get my new CVD axle). All turnbuckles assembled and fitted Next up is the shocks And fitting Followed by the battery cup and antenna/mount These really are a very basic car, and proof that something doesn't have to be overly complicated to be WC. Dont get me wrong though, as far as I'm concerned, there is nothing more satisfying that building an Avante/Egress for example. It's time for electrics, and a trusty bluebird servo gets a run again As for motor and speedie, the RCMart Speedpassion Revention S combo finally found a home 2.2 Wheels with modern proline rubber (not a fan of proline stuff compared to aka, but oh well). Thinking of ordering white wheels instead of the kit yellow's Wing trimed and fitted Wasn't happy with the stock battery strap fixing, from what I can gather, a screw needs to be removed for every battery change, and only being screwed into plastic, I thought the chance of plastic thread damage is too great, so I swapped them out for some JConcepts thumb nuts, that I had NIP So here we are, sitting on its wheels, awaiting a CVD axle, and my mate to throw some paint down on the body, hope you enjoyed the pics, will finish it off once I get the body done, cheers 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
matman 1498 Posted April 18, 2014 I'm running AKA rebars . they hook up well . Great thread again M8 , i like the battery idea , even that i just charged mine in the car & then put the gold pan setup in it so i can get it out . May get them thumb nuts , Gee that is going to hall , with that set up . 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

zakspeed 187 Posted April 19, 2014 Thanks for sharing this. I had an original rc10 back in the day, I thought the reissue may have stirred me to get one but it didn't however even with the issues reported this is starting to stir some budget shuffling to be able to afford one. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mtbkym01 3946 Posted April 19, 2014 Thanks for the comments guys Thanks for sharing this. I had an original rc10 back in the day, I thought the reissue may have stirred me to get one but it didn't however even with the issues reported this is starting to stir some budget shuffling to be able to afford one.The issues really are minor in the big scheme of things, I for one am certainly grateful to have AE join the re-re party trail blazed by Tamiya. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MAD RACER 566 Posted April 19, 2014 Great build Kym. I'm going start mine next week I hope. Mmm I feel I,m going to have some issues though. Still can't wait. Looking forward in seeing it all painted up. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mtbkym01 3946 Posted April 26, 2014 Got the body trimmed, and glued the tyres. An unbelievable amount of mould release covers these Pro-Line tyres which requires removable before glueing so as they will actually stick to the wheels Very poor IMHO compared to my preferred AKA tyres. Note that the tyres do not come with the kit, they are a seperate purchase. Sketched and masked the body ready for paint First colour laid down Disappointingly, I dont have the paint to finish it here, so hopefully will get down to the LHS to grab some 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mtbkym01 3946 Posted April 26, 2014 Luckily I had to "pop" down the hardware store for some supplies for jobs around the house, so detoured to pick up some more paint Just some 'Decal-ling' to do 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

mtbkym01 3946 Posted April 26, 2014 Nice manly colour you have put on it .. Looks good . Haha, yeah thought I'd try something different, not sure if I like it or not, got the decals on, and have ordered white wheels coz the yellows just don't work 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MAD RACER 566 Posted April 26, 2014 I don't mind that Kym. Pink ??? Interesting choice. It worked on the Frog. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mtbkym01 3946 Posted April 26, 2014 I don't mind that Kym. Pink ??? Interesting choice. It worked on the Frog. True Mark, and it was the Frog look that made me try it here, that and the pink RC10 decals that come with it, I think I'll reserve my own judgement until the white wheels are fitted Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
matman 1498 Posted April 27, 2014 Now that's it's done , it does not look that bad . As mad racer said the frog was in that colour ( BTW !! i don't like the frog ) ... Not because of colour , I think the pink is fine & you can thrash the car if you don't like it . But it's different & growing ! . Where are you getting the wheels from ? as they are a different off set . I need to get more wheels & bodys , As my body has been taking a beating . I was thinking tower hobbies , but it takes a long time to get it . I have asked the hobby shop i go to in perth & they are not sure . I can get the wings ! .

mtbkym01 3946 Posted April 27, 2014 Amain, will have to wait a while for them to get here http://www.amain.com/product_info.php/cPath/1_25_1450_3372/products_id/267637/n/Team-Associated-RC10-22-3-16-Rear-Wheel-White http://www.amain.com/product_info.php/cPath/1_26_2338_2339_214_2998/products_id/14966/n/Team-Associated-22-Front-Wheel-White-B4 Also, Thunder Tiger Phoenix BXII wheels are basically the exact same wheels (apparently) according to some on RC10Talk.

mtbkym01 3946 Posted April 27, 2014 Also, ordered some JCRacing spoked RC10 wheels today, these do look quite aggressive and may also really suit this build Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
matman 1498 Posted April 27, 2014 Thanks , will look into it . Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Percymon 2184 Posted April 27, 2014 Also, ordered some JCRacing spoked RC10 wheels today, these do look quite aggressive and may also really suit this build The spoked JCR wheels are a nice mix of aggression and modern looks - I used them on my team car runner rebuild (not run since rebuild ) , the rears in particular give a wide wheel look.. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mtbkym01 3946 Posted April 27, 2014 I've had a thought that white wheels may make the car look to "Pale", and am considering dyeing some wheels black instead, thoughts? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Thommo 1201 Posted May 19, 2014 Hey Kym, nice build mate. We just had one of our vintage meets and there were more of these than Tamiya's......it was supposed to be a Tamiya meet. The performance of these things out of the box is just unreal and honestly, I've probably been pushed over the edge now. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mtbkym01 3946 Posted May 19, 2014 Yeah Thommo, its not really fair to compare these to any other vintage cars, these were released in '94 from memory, so really are light years ahead of anything else, but they are awesome, and definitely worth having in a collection iMHO, both my white wheels have since come in, so I'd better upload some more pics, I quite like it now. Will be a week though, as I'm away working until this weekend (Out on Christmas Island, you may have heard of it ). Pics to follow 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
WillyChang 1812 Posted May 19, 2014 yeah 1994 replica edition of Kinwald's 1993 ride... but still legal under "1991" vintage racing cutoff as its considered an evolution of goldpan. It'll run rings around everything else... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
