Once again very nice
I have seen this body in the flesh and it is as good if not better in person
And if anybody is questioning the use of stickers don't worry they look great.
Nice! I have always painted my own body's and they never come out as perfect as I tried to make them, because I don't do it often enough. By the time I paint the next body, I forget the mistakes I made the last time, but they progressively get better. For my first Rc10, I would gladly pay to have a body like that and I wouldn't feel bad saying I didn't paint it. If there is anyone on this forum that loves to crank out box art body's, please send me their link.
Hey, with such perfect looking period correct box art cars, have you ever done the rear sway bar from the box art that runs through the body, kind of on top of the rear bulkhead?
Yep, sorry for the delayed reply. I have to re-solder the ends onto the wire, then drill the arm holes.
I'm returning to this thread now to reference what I did on the last body. Been so long and to be honest, it feels like I wasn't present for any of it. That's called not being sober, but I'm practicing more control these days, and plan to bang out 2 box arts at once starting this weekend. One for me please!
That is one sweet box art RC10! Makes me wanna get my box art out and run it some. I really want to back date some of its electronics, like a Novak ESC and I need to find the battery box as mine is missing. Ultimatly I want to put all Novak stuff other than the Futaba reciever. Mine has a LRP Runner ESC in it. The original Futaba ESC didnt have a ON/OFF switch, so I had to unplug the battery after every run. Having to pull the battery after even a short run to turn off power got old fast. Still using the 75mhz radio as well. Again, great job, I really love the green one to. I hate to think what it would cost to get one of those painted for me. Cheers Mikie
Hey all, I just started the resto process on a nicely used Optima scored from the bay. I plan to get the box art paint and sticker scheme down. This build will acomplish 2 things, supply me with a buggy to model bodies, and get me a bada$$ shelf...

Thanks to the fellow Floridian that offered this to me, thanks dude! (you know who you are) :D
So my brother works at our LHS on the weekends. A guy came in a few months ago with a box of old RC10 parts asking if my brother wanted to buy them. My brother said no (wife would be pissed) and to try Craigslist. Month later, the guy comes back. No...

Thanks!
Tamiya Hornet rear tires (new from Tower Hobbies) and some out of package front tires from my
LHS.
I've recently got bittern by the RC10 bug & brought from Ebay.US a very nice original RC10, which I think has only been run perhaps once or twice, judging by the minimal scratching on the chassis. The car came with the box, instructions (including a...

Just wanted to share a few pics of my A stamp CE, I picked it up about 2 years ago. I picked it up for a really good deal, right place at the right time. It's missing a couple small parts, but the condition is just awesome. The car has only a few...

this is the manual i got with mine, and the only one on TA's web site that i could find. it's basically one page folded pamphlet. mentions a lot of stuff but nothing about reverse polarity protection:
My son just bought a gold pan rc10 and it's missing a dog bones. We would just like to replace it with the stock for now to insure that the rest of the car is good to go. If he wants to upgrade later than that is on him. Does anybody here have a...

I recently removed these parts from my '84 gold pan. PM me if you still need them.
