that's a clean rc10, asso_man.

thanks, it seems that all parts but the tires are 100% new, i'm anxious to have it

jackpot

well, i thought i'd update this build with some new pics. i won a vintage tire lot on ebay a few days ago, and in it was a pr. of rear aj's. the sidewall profile is very similar to the photo i'm trying to replicate. much closer than the stock asc. tires. i also scored a real nice reedy modified for it a little while back.

and ya, i know. i still need to paint the body.

sweet Scr8p, paint that body I'm anxious to see it finished, I think I'll paint an other one for mine, that orange stripe and the metallic blue are definitely not right... still waiting for some white Reedy decals and you?

nope, i haven't gotten the reedy decals yet, neither. shodog sent me a link to a shop out in california that he thinks has them. i just haven't gotten around to getting in touch with them. when i do, i'll get one for ya if they have more than one pack.

This car look great.I remember seeing the origional car in rc car action a few years ago.Have you finished it yet.

nope, not yet. i still have to paint the body. one of these days i really need to knuckle down and get it done. i do have all of the decals now, though.

Looks great! Is the shock tower on Jay's car black?

ya, it looks to be, and also a little taller. but, some things are hard to tell from a pic. i was gonna either have a grahite one made, or find an old composite craft one. but, i think i'm just gonna dye the one that's on it black. i didn't lighten or drill the chassis at all, so it's not really an exact copy anyway. it'll have the "look", though......................

Hi there!

Dunno if these pics of Jay's car are posted somewhere else but they might be helpful in terms of the paintjob and maybe the front shocktower

didn't he make his own... i have one somewhere... it was taller but mine is fiberglass.

i think i'm gonna cut the sides of the chassis and the nose plate down now. the tub isn't mint anyway. i wasn't going to, but what the hell........................

Do it

Jason, do you have white letters for the drivers side?
