RPM chassis help

[Grumbles]

Hello all! I recently acquired a RPM chassis and can't decide how to proceed with her build. Do I go all RPM? What color arms? Is there any other all RPM RC10's? If so PLEASE share, I'd like to see them. If not, I would really like to get some ideas on how you would go about restoring her. So please help!

Reg, Many thanks for your input on how to clean her up and especially how not to .

Regards,
Rob

Thanks, I have to say you have one sweet ride! I really like the way the all white makes the shocks and wheels stand out. All white was my first choice, but I'd like a bit more input before I decide. BTW, I do need a rear arm and I noticed the NIB RPM rear team car kit in the pic above . Think you might want to part with it? LMK and thanks for sharing . Rob

I too have 2 RPM kits. I can't see myself dying the parts, somehow they never come out right, and trying to get them back to white, seems to be difficult.

I would do my best to find white parts. I guess it also depends on what you plan to do with it.

For me, I have one I want to be a shelfer, the other I want to run, so it will make for some choices when it comes to making a decision. Right now, all my projects are on hold, but I like the idea of an original (or close to) kit.

I like the idea of an all white RPM car, but I had a reality check when I found out what the white parts go for nib. Looks like I'll have to wait for a deal on some decent used ones or a financial windfall.

I still wonder if it would look any good with the black or purple arms. Maybe I'll photoshop my pic to see what it'll look like.

Thanks for sharing and I hope you'll be able to start your projects soon.

its worth it even if the parts are bank.. just buy them as they come up.. its defiantly world the money imo and its like a scavenger hunt trying to find them!!!
