My first RC10, restored and shortened :)
My first RC10, restored and shortened :)
Was given my first RC10 chassis in a bit of a state, and now after a bit of cleaning, dyeing and cutting and drilling I've got a runner (well nearly!) with a shortened chassis ready for a VW Beetle body - who could resist after seeing scollins masterpiece.
Check page 2 for the finished car with body and wheels!!
Just waiting for my wheel adaptors and gear cover to arrive, then the chassis is done. Currently in the process of cutting and painting the shell Baja style.
Hope you like, and big thanks to scollins for the inspiration

Nearly sorted by body out now, just waiting for a cockpit to be delivered. Once I have that and sorted the wheels out I'll be off to the beach
This body is by a UK company - Kamtec. Will cut the body posts down once I've fitted wheels and decided on ride height. Oh yeah, got to decide on the aerial placement, want it on the back really like a Sand Scorcher.
Any comments?

Low Profile Servo
Hey all of you RC10 "HACKERS"....
instead of the upside down servo mount, you might want to consider using a low profile servo in front of the batteries.
Like I did 4 my 7-cell conversion below.
