Just thought i would share a few pics of my restored rc10 graphite. It started out as a really clean but horrably badly red dyed factory stealth graphite car i found on facebook. So u went through and took it apart and cleaned it all up and it sat for the longest time untill i decided what i wanted to do with it. It started out i was going to put all new rpm arms and make a runner out of it but i nixed that idea as it was too clean for that. So then i boight a complete set of new andys parts for it. But that idea was nixed ans i couldnt bring myself to take te andys parts out of the bags! Lol so then i just decided to install all nos associated parts and make is as close to new as possable. Seeing as most of my nos stuff was later model parts and mostly black i decided to do a mixed black and white plastic theme similar to a worlds car. So with that being said the new parts include new steering knuckles, caster blocks, antenna mount. and rear carriers all in white. New front and rear arms in black, new front arm mounts, ball cups and battery cup in black. New white fiberglass shock towers new carbon trans brace new universal dogbones a completly 100% new stealth transmission a new losi hydradrive kit for stealth transmission and all new stainless hardware. The hpi wheels rear bulkhead and andys front bumber remained original used parts and were re dyed. The shocks got new ti nitride coated shafts (i wanted silver ones but the hobby shop only had gold ones in .71 when i was building the shocks) it got a new jr nes527 servo i had along with a new reedy mvp motor and it retained the original tekin 410 esc but was givin a cleanup and recieved new connectors.. All in all from what it started out as to where is is now was quite a transformation and i am quite happy with it and i deff one of my favorite rc10's on my collection! Here are a few photos thanks for checking it out!

That's a pretty early team car. The dyed trans brace was and early re-drill and it had a four hole front tower. Nice
