I have been racing them for about 20 years but I am new to restoring RC Cars! This is going to be my first crack at this and rightfully so, I chose the first race kit I ever built. The RC10T.
I originally learned of the RC10T with the article about Cliff Lett's cow painted truck. OH MY! Did I want that same truck. So- as an 11-12 year old with limited funds, I ended up with a RC10T Sport kit. I was really looking for one of those to do my restore on and then stumbled on to this lovely mess. Its a team truck, which really doesnt matter to me as 'what ever' showed up would likely need new bearings and to be honest, I wanted gold shocks because that is what I had. SO even though it is not EXACTLY what I had, having the manuals, the "skinnies" and the box made it all better.
So= What I basically have- is what I suspect to be a truck that was built and then driven around in the street. Everything seems to be original right down to the felt gasket at the tranny. None of the screws were stripped or rounded out and nothing broken. All parts are the same yellow, so I suspect that this may be "matching numbers" if there is such a thing in RC. I was also pleased to see in the box, the second battery box which has never been tapped and is still its original color (or close to it)
Follow me on yet another adventure!
