New guy with a new rebuild

[LeDevil]

First off I'd like to introduce myself I'm James and this is my RC10 I got it in a trade for a another R/C. I'm glad I stumbled onto this site appears tobe quite informative and it has pictures I like pictures

Plans for the RC10:
Finding a set of narrower a-arms
Install all my Aluminum goodies I won off Flea-Bay when they arrive
Some custom Tube work
Install my Descender body
Install my other Dirt Hawgs
Finish Installing my Electronics
Then use the crap out of it.

Well on with the pics.

There is a lot of info here! I wish I could soak in half of it.

Looks like a good project.

Looks like you got a nice truck in the trade. You will get tons of ideas from seeing other builds. And welcome!

Why would you want narrower A-arms?? Are you tyring to convert it into a buggy??

Thanks for the kind words guys

metallicats33: I'm wanting to try and make a rally/on road car I've always wanted to try and do it with a RC10. I love the durability of the Tubs on these rigs. My first rc was a RC10 and I beat that thing beyond relief and it lasted longer then any of my other R/C's

I'm wanting to make my RC10 into a RC10ds like this

Wow boiling rims with glued tires actually works! I wanted to re use my almost new Road hawgs but they were glued to the old rims. So I boiled them and VIOLA! They slid off like a knife threw hot butter

UPDATE time:
Oh whats this some Aluminum goodness I think............NOT! I ordered the wrong steering assembly


Here's a Idea I was toying with, I have the front and rear bumpers from a Summit, I was contemplating mounting up the Summit bumpers and trimming them to fit the body and putting some Ultra White LED's in the small fog light holes. What do you guys think?




Here's a bumper a friend from another forum made for me , I was thinking of getting him to make one for the Rc10 if the Summit bumper doesn't work out.

That bumper makes it look like the trucks from that show about a stolen vehicle recovery unit (huge steel bumpers for helping stop feeling drivers).

What car is that steering set for? I'm sure you could still make it work. Like Bob Ross always said, there are no mistakes, only happy accidents.

[LeDevil]

It says it's for a B44 Chassis I don't know what car that is, I put in RC10 and it came up I was looking over this one and one other. I wasn't paying enough attention and ordered this one when I wanted the Bearing Steering Asembly.
