HI!... Well since I'm still whitening parts for my "CE' build and waiting till the powder coaters opens back up after the holidays, I decided to start rebuilding a RC10 "GRAPHITE" car.

HI!... It will be a restoration, then a shelfer. I currently have :

- "TEAM" car
- "EDINGER" car
- "CE" (6 gear) car
- "CE' (stealth) car
- "Cadillac car
- "Graphite" car

Still need to find a "World" car and just found out they made a "Team graphite" car.

Then I have 2 other RC-10's here I will be building modded runners out of, and just bought 3 more. :mrgreen: For a total of 11 .

HI!... Well I'm waiting for new bearings to show up from AVID for the 6 gear trans, plus all the white parts are being whitened. So I cleaned up the graphite chassis.

HI!... Well I got the RC10 "Graphite" car mostly put back together today. Still have to put the 6 gear trans back together and the front wheels but I need to wait for my AVID bearings to get here.

That is the ugliest car ever! You need to do yourself a favor and get rid of it quick. You don't want to be seen at the track with that do you? Wait, I have an idea. Send it to me. Folks around here don't mind a car like that at the track. Don't delay. :lol: :P

HI!... Well since no one currently makes a PRO-TECH II body that I need to make this Graphite RC10 restoration complete, I decided to just go with a "Viper" body for now. I trimmed it all out tonight. It's just ready for paint now. Oh and I have to get the proper wing for this thing ????
