Here you go.

You should have linked to the auction. Purchased!
That was one of the last bits I needed for a proper early Edinger build.

I'm really looking forward to the worth of my collection crashing. If this precedes a traxxas like re-issue of the racing buggies and trucks that would be excellent.
I ordered a rc10CC for me and each of my kids just because what is the use of kids if you can't force them to like your hobbies.

Almost want to tint them some crazy color like the old translucent electronics cases.

Since the material is translucent you may be able to use RIT dye to get the effect.

Has anyone mixed these parts with "OG" parts on a build? How does the color compare between the two? I know pictures don't do colors justice but the FAN parts look more yellowish. Like old new parts as opposed to new new parts. They mix fine. There is more variation between ages of AE par...

The last time I ran my RC10gt, decades ago, a rock or something got in between the bone and the arm, and did this: https://i.imgur.com/165rWQ6.jpg Stretched out the pin hole, and cracked the bell: https://i.imgur.com/AEOeZYy.jpg Can this be welded or repaired? Try some long set epoxy with a solid d...

First post in this cool forum. My local indoor dirt track is starting a vintage class for gold pans. I would like to revive mine and am wondering what I need to do to my old RC10 CE chassis. I know I need to rebuild the stealth and shocks. Anything else that would be a good idea to repair/replace? ...

Starting on the paint. Trying to keep it simple.
I’m also making a few changes. I am going to try wide drag slicks on the rear and see if that helps with on power traction.

I also need to add covers for the cvd, I had one fly apart.

I stumbled across a brand new set of 3908 outdrives (both front and rear) for a very reasonable price so snagged them! That should buy me some time in the wear department. I'll take a close look at how the CV axle pins are wearing when I rebuild the differentials next time. If they are in good shap...

Time to be able to finish a build without becoming unemployed.

I waiting on the build , but I did open mine. Overall it seems solid. Seeing it in person my main dislike is the box looks like a sun damaged original box. It should have been more of its own thing.

...to set the Guiness World record with my rocket car https://www.guinnessworldrecords.com/world-records/fastest-rocket-powered-model-car/ You’ll have a way to go. The model rocket car record is over 500 Mph. You may be a let to get it for your scale. Those aren't radio controlled...I am only going...

The bulk of the paint is done Now it’s on to the front end, tail lights and exhaust.

At first I was going for new parts, but with the cost of NOS parts skyrocketing I think I'll entertain lightly used (but not overly scratched up) parts.. it would certainly make things a lot more economical. Did you build yours as a shelf queen or a runner? If you are careful about it there are a n...

Adding to the other comments add a chassis protector to that car. It's just such a nice car.

It looks like all you may really need is new shock oil and a nimh battery.

Good for him running it! I know, I know...collectible....ebay prices...limited quantity...all that. To each their own. Plus, if he crashes it, that is one less available, increasing value for you collectors :lol: I do wonder, wouldn't pretty much anyone who is ever going to collect RC10s order one?...
