G'day Guys

Heres my newest addition, a stock RC10, as apposed to my RC10 beetle http://www.rc10talk.com/viewtopic.php?f=35&t=15909 which some of u may remember. We recently had a 4 hour vintage enduro in Sydney & 1st & 2nd place were RC10's. I was lucky enough to drive a friends Losi which was awesome, but it was then that I made my mind up that the Beetle had to go & in it's place I had to restore my RC10 back to a standard chassis/body etc.
So the sort chassis & sand scorcher body found a new home & a standard chassis & repro body was found to replace them.
I have had the chassis Ceramic coated to give it that brushed alloy look, anodised red screw kit, 3racing shocks, Sand Scorcher driver , Wild One drivers head, working headlights, windscreen wiper, number plates which a friend made me Australia RC10 decals for & of course my 2.2 inch alloy wheels from Bugle.
Took me ages to work out a paint scheme, finally I ended up going in the garage & using every single can of Paint I had, a bit of a bitza but no too bad.
I think there is a vintage meet coming up in a months time in Sydney so I'm looking forward to running it there.
I also have some numbers & team Associated decals for it as well, but I will fit them for the track.
regards
Jak

Holy Mackerel! That's a great looking buggy! That paint is awesome! I'd like to know more about having the chassis ceramic coated. Where did you get it done and what are the wear qualities? Do you have pictures of it?
