Agree! Not everything has to be ‘restored’. Yes a restoration is often called for. But just sometimes, aside from maintenance, buggy or car should be left as a snap shot of that time! Keep up the great work 👍🏼
Very cool piece of RC10 history! I picked up a used gold Pan a number of months ago that has been drilled multiple times and will be a perfect donor for a trailing arm conversion to a factory works chassie. I'm looking forward to getting started and slowly collecting what is needed. Great video! Would love to know more about that car's history
Sounds like a cool project… Or you could build a sprint car so that you don’t need to use the chassis at all! But that’s only if you have an oval track nearby
This is a great throwback for me! But please forgive me because your friend you purchased this great relic of rc history has made a great error. Houge never made aluminium parts nor a single bellcrank steering rack, and furthermore never made front suspension arms. Allec and Lane (A&L) made these parts. Both Houge and A&L seem to have back in the day came out with similar rear suspension products for the RC10 about the same time. Houge had a plastic bellcrank system which was a huge upgrade and replaced the stock AE bellcranks with a 4 bearing system and Losi also made a terrible steel version just before that which the bearings would not fit into without ruining them. A&L developed the longer front arms to widen the narrow front end of the car, and Houge made a wider front end with wider shock tower and used the existing front stock arms. I was sponsored by Houge and know this all as fact.
i will ad a link....they are $10.00 on ebay. all aluminum. i have one for each of my cars 40+ because they are FAR cheeper than replacing flatspotted tires
