Gold pan restoration

Quote

Post by fred319driver » Tue Apr 03, 2012 6:05 am

Hi all

I'm completely new to all of this so please forgive my ignorance!

I have started collecting old RC10's and have been stunned by some of the pictures of restored cars, how do you get the white nylon parts looking so good? are they dyed? if so is there any particular dye or method? and are the chassis re anodised? also I'm looking for aluminium A arms the will fit the rc10 can anyone recommend a supplier of off the shelf alloy parts for the RC10.

Thank you and your input would be very welcome.

Fred

Okay, so i believe i found the issue with the horrible binding I had. The original piston (it has a notch, not a hole) i believe swelled and is now way to big to even fit. so, i pushed on a modern small bore piston which was very tight to put on,...

New forum member. I was hoping to get some advice on restoring an old gold pan RC10 back to running condition. The car is in good condition with Novak electronics and looks to be a pole position brushed motor. Tires are dry rotted from sitting over...

The 's' (as in 2s) are the number of cells, each are 3.7 volts, so a 2s battery is 7.4 volts (equal to the old 6 cell 7.2 nicd/nimh). The mAh is the capacity of the battery, the higher the number the longer the run time (also adds weight). The 'C'...

I recently came upon an original gold pan RC10 for $140. Is this a good deal?

It has all the arms, a rebuilt transmission, shocks (seller told me that they leaked), and a good differential.

However, the seller told me that I would have to replace...

Hi, I would advise against converting to rere wheels as its really a bottomless pit of cash and they have issues. It is way easier/cheaper to get JC racing wheels.

As far as spur gear goes you need need to decide on what you want to run 32dp or...

Hello All. I've had an interest in vintage RC10s ever since I remember reading about the worlds and RC10T kits in the magazines as a kid. I figured now is a good time to get into it with the ReRes out. I just traced a TC4 for what you see in the...

Last post

I won an auction for some front end parts for the second car. Once I have them in I'll be doing a cleanup of all of the plastics.

So, this was my first rear RC, bought with a lot of hard-earned lawn mowing/snow shoveling/pet sitting money back in '94 when I was 12. I ran it until the MSC burned up, then it got shelved. I got back into RC when I was 19, but I was into nitro...

Hard on my kits sounds like an understatement.

Well, I prefer to look at it as most manufacturers just not building them tough enough :wink:

It's one reason I won't waste my time with Traxxas, though. Save for the Revo, their stuff breaks if I...

The first pic shows the car how I got it. The pics on the Ebay ad were poor and from a distance, but it was cheap, $66 shipped. This is the car that was dyed with magic marker.
I didn't like the mismatched chassis parts at first, especially with all...

Loving the gold caps too.. very Masami Hirosaka.
