Vintage Electric

[bloodwolff]

I have some older (over 10 yrs. old if I am correct) electric cars I am trying to find parts and manuals for so I can restore them to running status. They are as follows:

Tamiya Blackfoot - has a Robinson Racing tranny

Team Associated RC10 Championship Edition - is mostly stock

Team Associated 10L - is stock

I recently purchased a HPI Nitro RS4 3 RTR and got back into the hobby after being out of it for a long while. Any help finding the stuff I need to get them going again would be much appreciated.

Blackfoot - should be no problem, parts are all over Ebay.

RC10 - same thing.

10L - don't know, never had one myself.

If you have the 10L Oval car I think associated still runs that same front end on their 10L3O and 10L4O cars so parts are easy to find. IRS stocks the rear parts, axles, hubs, etc

You can still order parts for most any AE vehicle.

Aside from that there should be tons of things on ebay. :)

thanks to those that gave me suggestions on where to find parts.

Blackfoot may share some of the parts with other Tamiya cars, it was a spinoff of the Frog chassis (check Tamiya USA) .

RC10 Championshio was an upgrade from the original RC with the 4gear transmission -difference was wider front arms. Some parts may be available in limited parts some are available at Stormer Hobbies under the Inventory Reduction area.

RC10L was Associated's first 1/10 onroad chassis, original came with old style front end, the 10LS came with newer front end. The 10L is the wide version with a 5 x 4 cutout. The 10LSS was the narrow version, about the only interchangable part is the frontend, shock, shock & servo mounts and pod plates all changed with the 10L2, 10L3 and 10L4 (only thing that shares is pod plate and Tbar). I own all versions of the L series cars and you may still find parts or aftermarket parts were oval or onroad racing is done. Associated discontinued making the parts for the 10L, 10Lss.
