picked up a rc10b today

[slim_chance]

Looks close to my rc10 graphite that I was asking about a while back but. Some diffrences like it don't have the graphite checker pattern and the plastic parts are red. It could be died red but I'm not sure

Having a good day so far. I swapped out the radio and dead steering servo and just like that I have a runner! So now I am excited. Now I need to get a body for it. Anyone know if moder buggy bodies will fit? Ok enough talking for now. Here are the first pics.

Here it is fresh out of the bag I got it in http://m.flickr.com/lightbox?id=6712341535
Got a remote, 7 cell battery, novak duster sport, oval man brushed motor, and a peak charger with it.

Ok I looked some online is this actually a horizon tq10 except for the color and chassis material it seems to be vertualy the same car as my rc10 graphite

[slim_chance]

Ok I don't know what is up with the links. The pics are there. I clicked on them both on my phone and computer and they work. When I got home today I will resize and upload to the forum

I was planning on trying to race it once I got the body and stuff for it. Then I got to looking and relized that I haven't been able to find the red parts for it if I break something. So I might be building a shelf queen out of the tq10. Now I am looking for vintage electronics for it. I don't think I can find the correct body. I been hearing that the tq10 has a diffrent body than the rc10.

sidewinder body.

[slim_chance]

Thanks for the info jwscab. Now I have to find an unpainted one if I can. Did the links work for you. I already am really into this car.

[jwscab]

no, i just got a black screen from flickr.

it's really easy to post a picture in the forum, just need to resize if they are too large. just open with paint, and use the stretch/skew function and reduce the image by 50% (x and y) or so, and it really cuts the size down. then that way they don't ever 'go away' if your hosting site changes something.

[slim_chance]

Yeah I been posting from my phone I need to us my house computer.

[slim_chance]

So anyone know where I can get an unpainted sidewinder body?

[scr8p]

ebay is it.

[slim_chance]

So at last here are pics. It looks mostly original not counting electronics except a very few white parts and the gold motor plate I have heard the original is black She is a dirty girl. This weekend I will be cleaning her up. Here it is right out of the bag that I got it in. sorry if quality is bad these where taken with cell phone

[scr8p]

that's not a tq10. just an rc10 with an aftermarket graphite chassis.
