RC10Talk - The Net's Largest Vintage R/C Community

I spotted a runner thread over in General so I thought I'd stick my Runner up too. This alas is my only runner '10 so get treated carefully - still enough to have some serious fun though!!

I guess its fairly standard except the MIP steering, HPI wheels and tecnacraft turnbuckles. Oh, and that Bright Blue Chassis!! I have some under chassis protector on there to keep her minty.

Oh, and I know the body sucks.. but vipers were in short supply when I built this car!

You comments are most welcome

I dig that one, too bad we couldn't meet here in Brussels last Monday, I am pretty sure I would have kicked your blue chassis with my runner AWESOME

What with those daft trailing arms?

They were never any good BITD

Still in a concourse, yours would win dude

Very nice...looks like scr8p painted the chassis...

What's the deal with all you "foreign" dudes and HPI wheels? No offense intended, it just seems like there's a large amount of overseas use of 'em. Easier to find than TQ's, Prolines, etc?

Foreign indeed... We invented you I'll have you know! (j/k - don't wanna start the next war on the pages of RCTT). As for the HPI wheels, Yes they seem to be a lot easier to find, possibly due to the early mid 90s HPI importer being more active than the Associated one. I'd rather run these on the runner than TQs as I have a whole load of them rescued from a bargain bin.

I also have some VERY retro 3 spoke Schumacher wheels for RC10, I'd love to find another set as mine have been well run. They seemed very popular BITD, but now you never see them. Maybe Schumacher bought them all back and machined a hex in them to fit Schumacher buggies

Also, the chassis is powercoated not painted as far as i can tell...

I love the HPI wheels. I just wish I didn't spay paint mine silver when I was 13.

that's a nice runner you got there.

i want a pair of those white hpi front rims like a junky wants another fix.

I've got some orange ones...the new hot tip for making colored parts white is Krylon Fusion white paint... Give it a try on something dyed.

Guys, I still have some white 2.0 NIP rear HPI pairs left for sale in the BST section No fronts unfortunately

What did you use for the protector? I like my runners, but would like to keep the abuse to a minimum...

Mark D.

hey mark, I used 3M thick clear adhesive sheet. You can use associated protective sheet, but it works out a whole lot more expensive!

I love the blue/white combo. My resto-mod GT project is going to have the scheme.

Thanks for the tip, Tom. Car looks great and I dig the HPI 5 spokes...

Im definately a fan of the blue chassis. I may have to do one up like that.
