RC10Talk - The Net's Largest Vintage R/C Community

I do take note of what needs to be replaced in the cleaning stage. That's something I haven't consciously considered. In the past, I had examined for what needs to be replaced, then cleaned in the past. Your method is way more efficient since you're examining the part closely during cleaning anyway...

That's great, man. Thanks for sharing. I'm creating my own version for my builds.

Hey just noticed that the associated website has per-vehicle parts list export*. Here's RC10T http://www.teamassociated.com/parts_export/?file=xls&product_type=all&vehicles_only=false&mapping=false&brand=&vehicle=RC10T Nice! Of course those other features you mentioned would need...

Thanks everyone. Appreciate the feedback. @Jim85IROC That's awesome, man. Thanks. I like the idea of breaking it down in to major sections. One of my builds is an RC10T and it's missing a bunch of parts. Have you tried to upload your spreadsheet to Google Docs? Here's instructions . The other day I ...

Looks awesome, man. You running in a vintage class or against the modern offerings?

+5 on the xacto method. Here's a good YouTube video demonstrating the method:
I'm linking to the part in the process where he's tearing the lexan at the score.

Aah secrets revealed! Awesome build, man. That is one bad a** late model. Your thread is just the kind of stuff I was wondering about. Identify some loose goals (finding matching wheels) Hit with the hose/WD40 (but only on select vehicles) Break down, clean and bag (in to seemingly major components)...

Hello again, all. I've found good threads on cleaning, whitening, removing paint, etc but am wondering about the steps or phases you guys find yourself building in. Any tips to ensure an organized build?

Here's one I did for my cuz



And another bomber from our fleet

The mask is a liquid that sprayed on, then cut with an x-acto after it's dried (multiple coats). Every mask line is cut prior to any paint being applied. The paint is applied on the inside, from dark to light so that the light colors are not dimmed by the darker ones. I think the hardest part to ima...

Thanks! I'll post a thread in the BST forum.

Thanks very much! Slowly working through a pile of bodies to paint...

Here's the start of our small fleet of bombers together for the backyard oval. I was going for a scale look, but also make the paint seem like they were varied enough to appear to be from separate race teams (like the 1:1's). https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/5316474/rc/IMG_3619.jpg https://dl.dro...

Took me a while to make out the 74 on that black and green truck. Great job making the red look very realistic. Is that for you or someone else? I'm just wondering if there will be some specific theme with the decals. Interesting design. 8) Thanks! This was for my buddy. I basically mashed up some ...
