Strongly considering getting the YZ10. My LHS still has them in stock. I just got my Team Car last week so it may take a bit to get it home. Liking this build! Lots of great ideas here. Thank you!

Another beautiful build you did. Thank you for sharing. You mentioned the use of the FanRC shock, 0.71 front and 1.02 rear.... Are these the same length as the kit shocks? Or was it necessary to go bigger because of the Xtreme shock towers? And where did you find the narrow front wheel hubs? Size? Cheers.

I like the use of a brushed motor canned not adjustable, a cheap 1060 esc but a lipo battery for long runtime.

Go Team Roof Scoop! For the JC Racing Extended re-re front driveshafts on your runner, wondering if you had to get longer turnbuckles? I'll find out when they arrive :D I swapped out the Yeah steering block, back to stock, with an Unfair ackerman plate. I had to shave a little off the corners of the diff cover to clearance the screws, but works great. Fixed a good bit of slop from the servo saver post and plate. I've had lots of little clearance issues with Yeah's aluminum bits, so back to stock. Speaking of diff covers, as I understand it, the diff covers are a wear item if you're running a top deck. I'm running a Factory Works JJ top deck, and no cracks after two packs.

I have chosen a red-haired wife and hid all my ebay/rc buys 😅

Very cool car. 😎 I like it

1.02 shocks on the rear will allow the rear suspension to travel up too far and bind the bones in the outdrives. 1.32's will stop the suspension before that happens. Use internal limiters to manage droop (you'll need a good amount with 1.32 shafts) or go with 1.02 shafts in the 1.32 bodies. You may still need limiters but it'll be less.

I have a B5 rear motor with 6 front end as well does yours jump well and is that because the battery is located forward?

Thank you for the breakdown! Beautiful build. Look forward to finishing mine now that you have kindly provided crucial info. Look forward to your future builds if you are not pushing up daisies your wife planted on your unmarked grave, LOL!

Nice build, 1.32 bodies with 1.02 shafts for the rear shocks. I would have bought rc10/rc10t kit, then the chassis, arms/arm mounts and front tower.

last time we talked i asked about that bar on front end ,, not the one that holds the arms but what is that bar that holds the top plate ?? as looking at my rc10t front end how is that mounted as there is no holes in the white plastic parts for a tube too fit side ways only a hole on front for a body mount ,, sorry for the silly questions but im just getting my head around your build as i have the fan rc car and rc10T and working it all out in my head ,cheers

Great video. did you find any of the geometry had changed drastically with the b6 items?

Surely it must be possible to just buy a spur and some pads seperately?

I'm running my OG Composite Craft RPM worlds at a vintage event here in Sydney in March. Did a bit of practice last week and it's as smooth and as quick as ever.

Great videos man. I really dig your approach and the info. I’m building a vintage car to race at hobby action. I’ve raced since the early 90’s and I’ve been enjoying building a more reliable version of the cars i use to race.

Vintage RC with modern upgrades are still vintage to me. Look at real 1/1 vintage car racing with all the modern suspension upgrades ex.

Hi there, I just came across your channel after looking for some RC10 team car setup ideas. BTW, great content, useful tips and insights. 👍 I run an 870c here in Japan on indoor carpet. Out of the box, the 870c isn't great, so I've been through several setups over the past year. Currently I'm running the EXO design conversion kit, including chassis, arms, braces etc. The kit relocates the battery for better weight distribution. I installed YZ-4 big bores and so far haven't had any issues with the spacers. I'm still running the stock universals, but widened the stance a little by installing a second set of thicker rear hubs on the front. Traction rolling hasn't been a problem. A common mod here is to drill two new mounting holds on the bumper to allow it to be installed further back. It lessens the chance of it catching during jumps. The 870c is a great buggy with the right mods. I had planned to take mine further, but as I couldn't resist getting the Works '91 I will probably focus on that for the 2025 race season. 😊

Im gathering up my parts for my Dragonpunch graphite composite craft chassis like I had back in the day. You are much farther along than me, as Im in middle of my Yoke builds. Updates on RC10Talk...

The hinge pin brace wasn't used with the RPM Worlds arms. I don't know if JC Racing factored it into theirs. I usually put the brace above the pins where the 10t body mount attaches. Probably doesn't do anything, but....😄 Your rear axles length (pin engagement) may be do to the hubs. They look like the standard rc10 hubs. The RPM hubs, the hinge pin is centered between the axle bearing so you can use a standard RC10 uni. The JC Racing hub is like the AE hub, and is offset to the outside. JC Racing makes slightly longer universals to correct that. You may be fine though, it's hard to tell the max amount of droop you are getting in the video.

great tips on the build and real world costings $$$ as this is a real world issue these days ,last time we talked was with surpass rocket v5/v6 motors as i was allways told they first only made parts for the top brands like end cans for ?? or stators for ?? rotors for ??for big name brands ,so one day they just put all the parts as one and started suppling there own motors with out the big name or cost , we tested them on dyno and they made the same power as those big name brands at 1/2 the price so win win , few qustions whats the metal bar on rc10t front tower mount ?? and also how much longer are the arms over fan rc arms with the norrow mounts/chassis , and are they fan rc drive shaft as i thought they would be longer too match longer arms or am i missing somthing with my thinking ??

Kai City RC on KZbin races his on carpet occasionally. Might be worth a look at his videos - I think he's made some mods.

Do you have a link of where to get the D-hawk rear hubs?

I thought vintage racing was based on the age of the person driving... 😼

Have you thought about 1.02 shock body with .89 shaft in the front?

Like the videos! Awesome

I miss getting stickers or decals like back in the 90s. I don't see them that much anymore

Re release kits have kept the class alive. Too many have hoarded parts meaning it’s harder too keep the vintage cars on track!

Old time 80's racer here and was lucky to own and race many of the great cars of the time from the original RC10 in 1985, Schumacher Cat, Turbo Ultima, JRX2, Losi XX /XXX Kinwald's though the B4.1 FT cars I do like your approach on getting these re-releases to perform to their full potential and have picked up much information on the finer details, parts recommendations, and getting these cars up to par. Wish I has a local track to put these Schumacher, Kyosho, Yokomo, and associated re-releases on the track. The Fan RC Graphite is a home run IMO especially the new blue edition which has been catching my eye. I really like the take no prisoners approach with the Yokomo. Be interesting to see what you do with the works car.

That particular Dragon Punch chassis/tower set is a copy of the Composite Craft Worlds chassis sets from 93-ish. It was designed to use the RPM Worlds conversion parts for the RC10 and their Ultra Molded chassis. They are what the JC Racing parts are modeled after. The 10t hinge pins will work. 1.02 front shocks, 1.32 rears. You'll need to add some limiters to the front shocks, the Worlds tower is shorter than the 10t tower. Other than that, it should be a fairly straight forward build. Have fun! I'm currently working on an original Composite Craft Worlds myself. Hoping to race it in April.

Thanks for the vid. I'm going to follow behind you and start my build this week. Placed order with Dragonpunch and JC today. Many more parts to go. Overwelmed but loving it.

Aliexpress has those Surpass Hobby rocket V2's for under $40, just about every turn count you could want. Any experience with the Surpass Hobby ESC? they look suspiciously similar to the hobbywing

Great videos, keep it up! I just back into the hobby and have been wanting to get to MOHR to practice. Do you have a channel email to ask some questions that are maybe more local?

👏 I like the way you are heading your channel good luck with the racing and also with the channel 👍

Nice. Does the dragon punch rc chassis work with the FanRc10 graphite kit?

perfect review from a races point of view and not the normal unbox click bate we all see too all the time , ive been racing mine in perth western australia in vintage class (21.5) on medium bite track /bar style tyres , the surpass rocket is king here with best bang for buck motor on the market VS big brand names , yes my gearbox was tight on build but also bedded in super smooth after a run or 2 , i did up grade too D hawk alloy steering rack that comes with lock nuts and the car is a bullet , did find the front shocks very hard too bleed as i feel the bodies are too short with piston topping out and putting cap on ?? but any ways great review and keep up the good real world on how these cars really are on track and mine is a weapon on track ,ive raced with the big boys in modern 17.5 class for giggles and also finish in top group most times with the car just hooking up but just loosing out on jumps

nice job! love it so far, earned a new sub :P

Good video. I'm looking to get back into rc buggies after 37 years, lol. I'm not quite sure where to start, all I remember is the joy my jrx2 brought me.

What tires are you running on that Fan RC buggy ?

Sweet 870c! Did you have any issues with bearing clearance in the yeah hubs? I tried them and the kit bearings were so loose they rattled. Less than ideal, lol. Very interested in the '91 Works, would love to see a video on that!

Many thanks for the upload. I am preparing my 870 C rere build as well and have collected most aftermarket parts you fitted as well, except the Xtreme Racing top deck. Just placed the order. Good luck with the channel!

This thing looks dialed! Thanks for all the info!

Beautiful car. I basically set mine up exactly the same before seeing your video, ran it at the vintage off road nationals back in August 24’ and will be running it at the JConcepts Vintage Clash of Champions in March. I didn’t use the Yeah Racing C blocks but used the Yeah Racing hubs front and rear. I also used the Exo chassis conversion, long front shaft conversion and that suspension bridge after mine (originally set up like yours) snapped an arm at the suspension hole. Schumacher has some nice extended length pinions that put the set screw way further back onto the motor shaft so you’ll never have an issue. Other thoughts, I think you have your front and rear wheel hubs sealed, they should be thicker in the front and thinner in the rear. This will also give you even more track width with the outer hole front conversion. Did you have issues with your front hub bearings dying after just a few races? Mine completely grenaded. Going to upgrade with AVID.

Very nice build ! would you mind to share parts list ? i'm planning to upgrade mine as well and i'm interested in some of the parts you've shown. thanks..

Quad that Triple!!!!!

Great video. Good resource for those who have a RB10 as they are using same parts moulded from the 5 series . Only difference is the B4 style chassis.
