I'm sure this has been done, but maybe it's time for a fresh one. There are a lot of pics in old threads that maybe newer members haven't looked at. I was going thru some in the locked forum and there are some beauties in there. Anyway, I think everyone likes looking at different cars. The good, the bad and the ugly...let's see 'em!
I only have 4 and 2 are B3s that are not particularly interesting. The other is a beat graphite that is in pieces at the moment. This started as a TQ10, but has been converted a hundred differet ways over the years. It probably falls under the ugly category, but it's tough. I've ran it an average of once a week for about 20 years now and it shows very little wear. It has what I believe is a Composite Craft oval chassis. Sidewinder 5700 and 2s Lipo. I put the larger tires on it because the buggy tires aren't really up to the challenge of brushless.

if we're going for our own favorites, i'd have to go with the first rc10 i ever had. 95% original, as raced (91-92 indoor season), unrestored condition.
I have a few RC10's in my collection and of those cars this one is my favorite. I purchased this car NIB when I lived in florida in the early 80's. This car has been rebiult so many times I can't count them. The only parts left from that original car I purchased are a few of the hinge pins ,and the early gold motor mount.
I'd link to post a link to an article I wrote a while ago for a french-speaking site (sorry, that's my native language) which describes in details a full resto for the first Losi car I ever owned, the almighty LXT (which I think would still...

No, but Bngiles is going to repop some. Were are the Pic's????
I was working on my rc10 today. I noticed it had a ton of bump steer. I tryed adding some ballstude washers to the steering knuckles and it got rid of some but there is still a lot. Any one have any solutions?

Wild stab in the dark here - could it be tires and / or shocks? On a real car, the suspension setup is usually the culprit for a bump steer situation. Tire compound can affect it a bit too.

Favorite:
Building transmissions, specifically ball diffs. They are like the heart of an RC car and I love the attention involved in assembling them correctly.
Least favorite:
Oil shocks. I used to enjoy doing them but nowadays I dread them. A lot...

I agree Jeff, it has come to the point where I will set something up inside to paint.
The fumes and such are not great indoors but I really don't care anymore.
I have been a RC enthusiast since the 80's. I am in the process of rebuilding a buggy and loving every minute of it :) I will put together some photos as I work through the process after I find some info about my RC build.
Cheers!

It was allready raise with 2 washers. The problem is the B4 upright king pins are off center. so when there on the right side the axle is to far back. and the steering links are on a back swep angle. and that make for a lot of bump steer.
