RC10Talk - The Net's Largest Vintage R/C Community

Happy April Fool’s Day!
This is my first post to RC10Talk, although many of you will recognize my username from eBay. I have been lurking here for quite some time - Thanks to Anthony (aconsola), for mentioning this forum to me.

I am 36 yrs-old, my first hobby-grade R/C was a Tamiya Frog (back when it was the latest thing @ our LHS), I started racing with a Tamiya Falcon, followed by a BigWig, then finally stepped-up to an RC10 - I still have a six-gear buggy that I bought new BITD. I also had one of the first 5-link JRX-2’s in our area - I still have that buggy too!

Well, I thought I should start my posts with an RC10. This is about the only model in my collection that I don’t plan to run - a six-gear buggy with polished chassis (select parts left gold), aluminum wheels, and period correct electronics (which are not completely hooked-up).

Please enjoy a few pictures.

Welcome sir! Nice looking buggy! We have an addicts meeting the 35th of every month!

Nice buggy, and congrats on your "dare-to-be-different" polish job! Looks cool.

Welcome and nice job on the polishing. That nose plate is really different, I like it.

Wow! That looks fab. I wish to restore mine to that condition. Minus the silver tub... Welcome aboard.

I was wondering if anybody was polishing these bad boys out ... really nice . Looks killer !

You aint got a thing if you aint got the Bling. That chassis looks sweet.

The body is super sweet. Was that blue strip painted or decal??

Welcome!
Where are the losi pictures

Polished tubs aren't that uncommon but I've never seen one where the inside was left gold which is pretty unique.

I cannot take credit for the paint job, I believe it was from "Racer8388".
The blue stripes are actually painted, but, the silver stripe is done with tape (decal) - came out real nice, not quite perfect.

Hello aconsola! Yes, I have a few Losi's (and others) to post, as time allows...
Like I said though, I thought I should start with an RC10, being that we're on [ 'RC10'Talk ] and all...

Thank you all for the complements, although I know my resto game is not to the level of many I have seen here - some of you guys are fanatics! I love it!

Just thought I'd show another pic of the same chassis, with different body and wing - I used to race with one of these metal wings, I believe it was by "Hot Trick" (at least that's the decal I had on it...)?

Yeah "The Hot Trick Stuff"!
Very nice car!
I used to have one as well.
