Wow, Joey that car is super clean!!
Not sure which body it came with (you seem to have done your research) but, if it were mine, I'd use the body I liked best.
Whatcha got planned for her?

Hi Dan and welcome aboard. I've pretty much been hooked on RC since my Dad and I started tinkering with planes back in the early '70's. I moved to buggies in the '80's, took a 20 year hiatus ('94 - '14) but I'm back again and, hopefully, to stay this time. Anyway, glad to have you here and hope you'...

Hey Joey, since you're planning to run the car, you may want to invest in a chassis protector. Having a scratched pan will greatly impact future resale value.

Hi Doc and welcome aboard! I hail from a tiny burg near Springfield Il. Been in Al since '96 (I came here for the Waffle House ). We have a lot of members from Il; I reckon RC was very popular in the Mid-west bitd.

That seems like a good method. Your eyeball must be calibrated 'cause you appear to have nailed the shock cutout perfectly. Well done Nomad!!

Hi Zipity and welcome to the forums. :D Happy you've been able to reconnect with a long lost friend. I have a couple Futaba 2.4 Rx's that don't have any antenna (at least not an external one anyway). My other Rx's have antennas that are extremely short. It's nice not to have to deal with that hassle...

These wheels are pretty hot: https://www.ebay.com/itm/2-2-Aluminum-Wheels-For-Team-Associated-RC10-Classic/283325338318?hash=item41f78192ce:g:KVoAAOSwcqxcLTMi:rk:1:pf:0 That said, my guess is aluminum is a lot heavier. Anyone know if they make this same style in plastic? I did pick up some JC Racin...

Wow, those are some amazing looking wheels!! I've not seen them in plastic but I reckon the JC wheels are the closest thing. The spokes are really thin on those alloy wheels and I doubt that exact design in plastic would be sufficiently strong but I guess it's possible. Anyway, keep checking ebay; ...

Cool! Vintage Futaba ESC, servo and Rx with G connectors... and a foam motor cover. A real time machine!!! You'll want to replace those plastic wing nuts with metal lock nuts on the wheels. Otherwise, it doesn't look like it will require much effort to make it road worthy again. Very nice!!

Indeed, yes he did. Looks great Justin!

Wow, that color match is incredible. Well done!!

Cool Nomad. I was wondering when you were going to get back to this build. Bet you had to blow some dust off.
What body will you use in combination with those wing mounts? Looking good!!

Looks great Nomad. Now I know why you bought that gear bowl...

No thank you. This site is about as close as I get to social(ist) media. Unlike F-Book and all the rest, I feel very confident that no one here will try to steal my identity or mine and sell my personal data to the highest bidder.
Please post your RC10 rebuild here.
