New Gold Pan owner from Quebec

[gorgothor]

Hi everyone.

I used to have a RC10 back when i was a teenager and i got rid of it without knowing what i had in my hands.

Here i am at 35 years old with not 1, but 2 gold pan RC10...

I got these 2 for 150$ with a toolbox and every original parts.

I started cleaning one as i ran the other but still i haven't decide what direction i will take with these...

I'd like a scorcher but can't seem to have the guts to shorten one...

I'd also like a buggy but i'm really not digging the gold anodized pan and the white parts...

Let me know what you think.

Thanks

Looks to me like you have 2 great project cars with all good parts except the swiss-cheese'd pans. I'd probably make a runner out of the less favorable chassis, then find a good gold pan that hasn't had the swiss cheese treatment, and make a shelf/show car from that.

i'm not really into the whole shelf car thing...

I think i'm gonna make one a standard buggy and use the other one to build a scorcher...

I really don't like the white parts so i think i'll go the black dye way...

As for the original wheels, i have 2 complete sets that i don't use so i will probably sell those later on...
