HI!... Just remember that the RC10 is a "Racer's" car. When you built it alot of times you have to file and trim things to make it fit perfect. That's the way they have always been, even back in the day (1984). I have to do the same thing on most of my Tamiyas as well. Try checking some of the bags the parts came in. I thought I was missing parts too until I rechecked the parts bags. They coat some of the steel parts in a bit of oil and I found that some of the "e" clips would stick to the inside of the bag. Remember to put the extra fuel line shims in the rear shocks and to flip the front shock shock mounts or they will rub. Both those things are wrong in the AE manual.

I have triple checked all the bags originally but no joy it was definitely short one

Seems like im not the only one with a kit missing a part see the thread below QC must have been slack

AFAIK they're just bog standard 1/8" (3.2mm) circlips .... I'll bung a couple in the post, along with some longer body posts

Wow thanks Jon i was worrying about the body posts a little

HI!... Well the car is made on China, what do you want......

Most things are nowadays!

Received my bearings today from RCBearings.co.uk very fast delivery again

Im looking at the transmission build and excuse me for being blonde here but i do not see any bearings in the pack the same size as the ones used in step 3? none are deep enough? see pics below to clarify my point am i missing something?

Step 3 pic from manual



These are what i have received total 16 bearings?

Put in one of the small ones (without a flange) followed by one of the small flanged ones

HI!... I did the same thing as well. Double them up.

You can also install bearings directly into the trans case as well. I would strongly suggest this if your going to run it.
