Help me RC10Talk, you're my only hope:
I built a Tamiya Frog in '83 at 11 years old, and traded it away years later.
In '93 or so I bought an RC10, turns out it was one of the last gold pan kits made. The day I bought that RC10 kit, I also bought the Parma '32 Ford ZZ-Top style body, and never even mounted, or painted the RC10 body and driver.
I have a '66 Blue and White 21 Window VW Bus, that a friend painted this RC shell to match for me, in the late 90's:
That's why I have the aluminum body mounts:
But sometimes, only nitro will do.
Bought this RC10GT with MIP upgrades, and same thing with aftermarket bodies, never mounted or painted stock body:
Need an MIP Shiny CVD bone for this, been without a wheel for decades now:
I shelved the RC10 and RC10gt and took it further in '98 or so with the Kyosho USA-1 Nitro Crusher's and the Unistart 2000:
I bought the necessary parts to turn one of those in to an Inferno MP5 with the steel gears, never got around to it.
