Getting there on the original GT. Have to wait for the replacement disc brake pad to get here, can't put the engine in without it. https://i.imgur.com/rYsaHSY.jpg The new to me GT on the right came with everything but the Rx, body, and engine. https://i.imgur.com/iU2GJxk.jpg Have the stock body for ...

If you intend to run the motors the pinch at the top of the sleeve is the main thing your looking for. You can definitely tell the engines that have had Blue Thunder run through them. Would you have a pic of the pinch at the top of the sleeve, that you're talking about? These engines both always ha...

Rebuilt the shocks. https://i.imgur.com/aZI5LXx.jpg Sorted through the engines, headers, and pipes. https://i.imgur.com/nAAFU1p.jpg https://i.imgur.com/ZPMFBMg.jpg https://i.imgur.com/WsEc7Q5.jpg https://i.imgur.com/4f9jifq.jpg This one was run the hardest, but the piston and cylinder walls look goo...

That oil really sealed the deal on the blue job. https://i.imgur.com/fv3BM13.jpg Thanks again Frankentruck ! Got the turnbuckles all on, and used Tamiya AW on the outdrive and bones. https://i.imgur.com/B0cgbVA.jpg Thanks juicedcoupe for the info on AW, in my other thread; great stuff, and is not wh...

Front end, steering, and servos cleaned.


Shocks, and engine left to do still.

Shocks still need a full cleaning and oil change, the engine still needs cleaning and overhaul, and there's a new throttle/brake linkage kit on the way, can't leave that old one on there.

Second blue looks more even. https://i.imgur.com/VLtzkbz.jpg Next to NOS. https://i.imgur.com/KWP8VlZ.jpg Used the Tamiya cutters to get the ball joints cut really close. The old ball cups were chewed on. https://i.imgur.com/uxBKG2d.jpg Finally figured out how to use the tools properly, in order to ...

Box landed on the doorstep today. https://i.imgur.com/Mp96RCZ.jpg Inside the box. https://i.imgur.com/XyNURa4.jpg https://i.imgur.com/gPf0RUj.jpg https://i.imgur.com/pBdXb2G.jpg Cleaner and fresher than the one I already own. All its parts are in order and like new. The rear tires are Losi, and the ...

The kit came with something called barricade, which was a cloth with oil on it to use after the blue step. I'll wait for this second blue layer to cure, then oil them like you mentioned. https://i.imgur.com/GlIAKUw.jpg Looking forward to putting those on there tomorrow. https://i.imgur.com/5Eu7uxD.j...

Before the blue kit:


Blue cured.


Going to go one more round of light sanding, steel wool, and clean/blue on these. Have come this far, might as well go the entire distance.

parts are starting to show up on the AE website, white ball ends (thanks Scr8p) and now the protech body is back as well Bought (2) of the body/wing kits, at that price. https://www.associatedelectrics.com/parts/search/?query=&vehicle=RC10CC&product_line=all I'm determined to learn how to p...

Will let the blue cure overnight, as the directions said, then see about adding another layer.

Thanks @Frankentruck !

Second time I got turnbuckles that were different from the auction picture on eBay, shiny silver 6263's this time. https://i.imgur.com/ltfwHfd.jpg Wonder if these ball cups are somehow wrong also, about to find out. https://i.imgur.com/V8LhQPW.jpg Got the blue kit today, going to try to fix the stoc...

Cleaned and lubed. https://i.imgur.com/NVBmePD.jpg Stealth completed. https://i.imgur.com/7dipZ6G.jpg When the the brake disc stripped, so did the hex nut on the clutch. Replacement brake disc is on the way, ordering new hex adapter now. https://i.imgur.com/p1czlDr.jpg Front end rebuild, shocks, and...

Regarding my earlier post about the clutch cover that is clear, being vintage or NOS, it's not, it's a newly manufactured part. I re-read that auction, and it was listed as New, not Vintage. I'm learning some hard lessons about the vintage RC10 parts market so far :D . https://i.imgur.com/jh7P4Ta.jp...
