RC10 Project Period Incorrect
First RC10 build from scratch using misc. parts. RPM arms and ends, MIP tranny, CVD's, Duratrax shocks. I Found the chassis on the Bay but it's in worse shape than I thought and will probably be replaced since most of the other parts on the buggy are new. It's starting to come apart at the front. Anybody know how to stop this?
MIP tranny.
I tried to take it apart for a rebuild but one of the set screws seems to be in soo tight, it seems welded in. I can't get it to budge at all. I thought about drilling it out but I don't want to damage the cup. Might just have to remain dirty.

Re: RC10 Project Period Incorrect
Thanks Mr. ED, might try that.
I like the way these Jammin tires look on these wheels. Will go with 3 piece wheels in the front too. They were a real tight fit on the MIP CVD's for some reason. I need to find a rear bulkhead now. It's one of the few things holding me back. I want to use this Pro body but the chassis pokes out in the front a little so I'm wondering if the Viper body would be a better fit.
Might go with these rear tires instead. Think they fit the look better.

Re: RC10 Project Period Incorrect
Nice project.
I think another member here (Reggie?) has a way to repair the damage to the front.
Maybe some epoxy....clamp the parts together with wax paper to keep it smooth?

Re: RC10 Project Period Incorrect
The body part # is 6160 Protech body. Tower has 'em. And the bottom is pretty clean, I just need to bend the nose plate back into shape. And the tires are Pro-line Champions.
The rear shocktower thats on there is not the original one but the one that came with the buggy has the same hole pattern. Not sure if it was the original one since I bought the RC10 used and it used to be set up for dirt oval.

Re: RC10 Project Period Incorrect
Still no rear bulkhead. And I decided to use the shocks on another project. I think some silver shocks would look better on here anyway. I couldn't think of what color to paint it so I went with what I already had and that ended up being white. The stripes are Autographics decals. Love the old school look of them. I still need to cut out the windows, add some window netting, find some spot lights, and paint up the driver figure.

Also need to find some front tires for these wheels up front.
