A little about me...I'm 36, live in WA and getting back into RC pretty hard. I'm a mechanic, but I do alot of custom painting on the side.....hotrods, customs, R/C cars....whatever.
Currently have a Revo 3.3 and T-Maxx 2.5, as well as just gotten bitten by the scale rock crawler bug and have a few of those, as well as some boat projects.
But the main reason for signing up here is that I'm a big RC10 fan.
I grew up in AK and raced heavily with our local club in the late '80's with an RC10. Being cold outside most of the year, we raced off-road cars indoors on carpet. Cars were lowered and modified to run hard....this was before 1/10th scale on-road "pan" cars became available....although I did have an RC12E.
I ran stock class for a bit.....then moved up to Modified with a Revtech.
I had the first RC10L in AK, but no one else stepped up....so I continued to race my RC10, until I swithced to the "all new" JRX2. Great car....but I still liked the RC10 better....even though it wasn't nearly as fast. Pre-Stealth days...haha.
I also had an RC10 that was almost all Hot Trick.....cool stuff....
I kinda wish I hadn't gave away all of it when I moved to WA in 1990...oh well.
Anyway....here are a few pics of my old RC10 and a pic of my current project.
I just dyed all the parts blue....like my old one, and plan on building it using parts that I remember was the cool "chit" "back in the day"....
Current project.
My 1st RC10....@ 1987
Wasilla local track....stock class
My race setup....my dad made the foam tires on a lathe...would buy sheets of it and make up tires to sell at the track....very soft foam. We used lamp oil....it was a secret...most guys used Paragon..haha.
Another RC10 with Hot Trick parts....the other car is a 1/12th Corally that I had won in a raffle.
Big race at Diamond Center in Anchorage....Modified class.
and sweet pics!

What did you do to all those white parts.
