My growing vintage RC10 collection

[THEYTOOKMYTHUMB]

Can you pull this out so we can get a closer look? I have an affinity for STP myself.

Here you go. It's an old bolink invader that my dad used to run at Willow Mills indoor carpet oval. One of his friends at work sold it too him with the painted STP body. He stopped racing it not to after acquiring it, I took over running it....with not much luck.

My new addition to the collection, an all black nylon RC10 Worlds car. Picked her up for a steal...included a Tekin 410s speed control and motor. I just dropped in a receiver and battery and she was up and running. Needs a little work, first off it's dirty, next it needs one of the cvd shafts put in a vice and straitened up, and lastly the front tires replaced.




Some pictures with my other worlds car.

It's picture time . I finished up a few projects, cleaned up and installed a losi hydro drive on my newer world car, and installed a hydro drive on my Tekin car(tight fit!!) I also built a updated worlds car with dynotech arms and newer B4 wheels with old school tires. Finally I built a basic gold pan for my daughter to play with.

Well the collection has gone by two more. I've started two more projects, another RPM narrow chassis RC10 and a vintage RC10T. I decided to use the last of my spare parts laying around to build these two last vintage RC10's. The RC10T is almost done, just need hinge pins and tie rods and it's pretty much done. The RPM is going to finish as I can acquire the rare parts.




Both RPM's together



The basic RC10T, mostly stock parts from my other RC10T

[Chris00gt]

Been making some slow progress finishing up the my other RPM RC10 narrow chassis with hard to find replacement parts. I cut down and re-glued an RPM RC10T chassis brace , and made a battery strap setup. I also had too use some standard bell cranks with spacers above them.




I also finished my other RC10T. Picked up RPM control arms and an RPM 2.65 tranny.


Both the T's together, new one is on the left.


Picked up some V2 shocks with avid collars, springs, and perches for my world WOIN car


Lastly my new addition, a slightly used RC10 B.1 world's car.



Lastly just a group shot of the T4.1, the B4.1, and my SC10.

Those flames are sick! did you paint them?

[Chris00gt]

The custom black with blue flames body on my SC10 is a OTC creations custom paint job. I picked it up off of ebay about a year ago.

Speaking of ebay, I broke down and picked up a steal of a RTR RC10 B2 off of ebay. The place selling it didn't know what it was and had it listed as Novak Hammer car with battery and controller. The B2 is in nice shape, minus the wonderful use of wire nuts on the Novak speed control. I've been doing some reading and now the hard part is too leave the car alone and not upgrade it to a B3. I may pick up the B3 parts just to have just to have if they become hard to find in the future.




New and old

That B2 is very nice and would make a perfect restoration! The B2 with all the correct parts is one of the rarest cars out there! Nice find!

[knucklebuster]

Chris, you are lucky... I was watching the Hammer Time auction but missed the end.

[Showcase1186]

Looks like the bug bit you hard! Very nice find on the B2..

[Chris00gt]

Thanks for not bidding!!!! So far I'm pretty happy with the B2. It really just needed a few "E" clips and the wire nuts ditched and some deans plugs installed and it was up and running like a champ. I did break down and pick up new in box B2 to B3 conversion kit (not installing..just to have) and a Novak Hammer to swap out it's current Novak ESC too match the graphic's on the car.

Since my mint RPM car is a shelf queen, I picked up some VLT shock bodies. The do look cool, but after reading some posts on here I guess I'm really waiting for them to start to leak..LOL. If they do I'll prob just drain them and try some tick colored gel like hand soap for some effect.

wow man looks great

I really like the b2 I picked up a sport version new unbuilt a few years back. I went and bought all the factory team parts except shocks. I built her ran it once and shelved her. Good to see a b2. I got the b3 conversion too jut never installed it either. You have some very nice rides.
