Starting on a build, for me and my dad. He had an rc10 when I was probably 4 or 5 that I loved! I am hoping to have something that we can go run together at the local track when all of this quarantine is over....
Hoping it all goes well, have a ton of ideas on what I am going to do, and going to try and print some of my parts.
Looks like you've gotten a very good start.
You'll want to install the front suspension plate struts (aka "nose tubes") as they add a lot of stiffness to the car and make it more durable. I didn't notice them in your first photo - do you have a set?
Anyway, I really like what you've done so far. That blue tub/front plate/motor mount looks great with the black nylon parts.

It is carbon fiber reinforced PLA so should be gods for a few runs... maybe. Going to replace those with the jconcepts carbon set once it breaks!
Keep us updated about how long the tower lasts. I'm curious to see how these fiber reinforced plastics for 3D printers hold up. Durability has been the main issue with usable 3D printed parts(arms, hubs, wheels, etc) It will be killer if these new plastics work well.

Life is short. Waste it wisely.
Not 100% on what I am going to do there yet. Possibly that, but would REALLY love to have some matching blue anodized axles.
Also looking into piecing it together. I would like a matching blue axle but done thing I am going to find it. so might do the opposite. Blue Anodized carrier and then black axles with blue 12mm converters. Something like these, just have to do more research on what will fit.....

You wanted to do something different? What??? Killer 8)
With the hype from all the J Harris' running old school buggies, I'm starting my what's old is new build with my original A stamp,beat to crap, gold tub. Here is a pic of where I am so far, all the aluminum will be powdercoated, not sure what color...
It all happened so quickly, one minute I was thinking about the summer of 1986, and the next thing I know I was searching for an RC10 on ebay! After two kids, a mortgage, and a pair of reading glasses, I...

Welcome!
I'm new here as well.
I only got out of the hobby as far as racing goes.
I never could break myself from building cars.*sigh*
No pics yet, but I've been starting to piece together a scale lunchbox setup. GOnna use losi mini rock cralwer axles with a homemade frame, tamiya leaf spings, and my own shackles. I havent decided on a powertrain yet. I may just buy a entire losi...
First ever build....The couple I did with my uncle back in the 80's don't count. I might've contributed 2-3% n got on the brothers nerves on top of it.
Man, definitively was fun but caused a lil despair along the way.
I built after a couple...

Looks great! Nothing like finding extra parts that aren't extra !
