New Guy first Rc10 buggy

Post by spendtoomuch »

I have been checking out this site alot looking at info on my RC0T2 That i bought when I was about 13, just dug it out and cleaned it up but i have always wanted a buggy and found one on craigslist for $50 so here it is I think its a worlds the tail is scraped up and alittle banged up and the nose is about the same but the bumper you se on it is what came with it i kinda dig it. Most of the white pars are red even the RPM front arms O and it came with a rc10 GT box full of parts for both GT and RC10 came with a motor installed too hooked up a esc and that old motor flies the body looks like a worlds but it is kinda beat up These pics are when i first got it two days ago. So did i make out ok

That's a worlds car, as you clean it up you might want to dye the old parts black to make the look a little better, or least it as it is. Sounds like a nice little score! Welcome to 10talk.

It amazes me that people can't take 10 minutes to clean things like this up before listing on craigslist. Most of the rc stuff I see listed, even modern stuff that is sold by RC enthusiasts, seems like it was just run on a loose dirt track and put away that way.

I've seen that too quite often and always thought the same thing.I've gotten stuff that was absolutely filthy and within 5 minutes had it looking like new.Doesnt take much more then a damp paper towel to clean up after a run.Some folks are just lazy I guess.

Btw great find for $50!!!

Nice score for $50 and welcome to the forum.
I reckon if you disassembled it and cleaned (or dyed with RIT dye) it that car would look great. I think sometimes sellers leave the crud on to hide any damage but it seems that you still got a very nice score thats for sure.
