My vintage RC10T has a new look:

Got my mate Stuart Gains of Gainsy Graphics to do the paint on this one. I think he's done a great job.

I am leaning towards keeping as it is now. As it is, it's very unique and does have a bit of racing pedigree so it would be a shame to mess with that. Only thing I am thinking of doing is adding a Fibre-Lyte carbon chassis, we'll see. Not run it yet but as I only need to add an ESC (got a period cor...

Bagged myself another Yoke! :D This time a Super Dogfighter Works 92 which has been heavily modified. When I say heavily modified I mean it has a ton of work done on it. To that end I'll copy and paste the seller's description: This is my sale for a Yokomo Dogfighter Works 92 Spec. It was bought bra...

A great job you've done on this and the paint looks awesome

That looks spot on mate. Really looking forward to what you have in store for this one.

Just realised I've got the belt running the wrong way over the tensioner. Should be running underneath rather than over the top.

Cheers chaps. Definitely need a T2, well I've already got the shell for it . The T1 will soon be wearing a freshly painted original style shell.

Top work on the bumper mate.

Another update. Chassis back together! phpEKcrOZAM.jpg phpsTSGDlAM.jpg Work done so far: Chassis cleaned Diffs checked, cleaned and greased Belts replaced from stock. Have a new long belt still to be delivered which I'll fit as the one that's on it is slightly twisted. Dampers checked, cleaned and f...

That looks a pretty sound base for a good resto. Watching this thread with interest as I'm restoring one at the moment.

Cheers Todd. I had considered dying the wheels but it's not something I've done before and I really don't want to make a mess of it. I'll have a bit of a think on that one. Those JC wheels are ace and I've got a set on my YZ10 94 but I think they are the wrong offset for the 870 plus they are slight...

A small update for you. I found some new bearings that happened to be the right size in my parts stock so I set about re-fitting the back end, after it was cleaned up. Stripped and inspected the diffs and they looked great so just cleaned those up and put new grease in. Waiting on a new long belt so...

Thanks for the glue removal tips. I've managed to remove the worst with an acetone free nail varnish remover and a stiff brush. There is a white mark left where the glue once was but that will be hidden by the steering servo. So far so good. In other news, bearing set has been ordered. A couple of t...

Hi Lee. Thanks for looking mate. I'd be interested in anything you've got really so all is of interest. I've got a complete bodyset winging it's way to me but another undertray can't hurt an the other bits will come in handy. I'll p.m you later.

Forgot about acetone. I shall purchase some of that tomorrow. I need to remove some glued tyres from a set of rims so need to get some anyway.
