Planned RC10 restorations

Post by Trailsnail »

I recently purchased an RC10 and RC10T, both with original boxes. Planning to strip these down for a good cleaning, and restoration. The gold pan most likely will end up in my office with a vintage Futaba stick radio for a nice display piece.

Hi,

Nice pair!

Does the buggy box have a 6010 or 6011 label on the ends of the box?

Could you post a pic of the label if it not either of those?

The gold pan is in pretty good condition. I do wish it had the white arms etc. instead of the black, but pretty pleased overall.

Small world! I bought it from a hobby shop in Dallas that was going out of business. Interested to see if it's the same one.

Bottom of the pan pretty decent ?! It used to be all white , then i swapped out the parts for black ones so it wouldnt yellow up on me.

Yes, the bottom is in pretty good shape. Lots of scuffs, but not a lot of gouges that go through the orange. If you kept all those white parts, I may convert it back to white. I like the Black, but the white just looks more vintage to me.

The gold pan (and box) are the stealth championship car. Basically , the last gold pan made, if I recall. It is from '91 or '92. A lot of those came with the black plastics. Very nice car, and a reasonably modern and capable design too.

I dig the 10T, here are mine:
