I considered polishing the tub due to excessive scratches but can't bring myself to do it. I also have the CRP front bumper and side nerfs. They have all taken a beating but are still in one piece.
Well I found some time for play and began assembling my original RC10...

Here is my other project. I still have to replace the blue shock caps. I just need to work on a home made upper deck. I have a few asweet stuff like the RPM Worlds front, HPI front rims with KYOSHO tires, Losi rears, RPM front skid plate, and I just switched to an MIP bellcrank in place of the previous one that was also an MIP but for the 10T. Litespeed at the rear, titanium turbuckles all around. Still waiting on some other parts to arrive so, I'll keep you updated.Image
This was the buggy when I got it.

She's back! This car is set up exactly as I ran her 20 yrs ago. The only exceptions being Deans plugs/wire and RPM rod ends... I've got boatloads of both. The way things are going with RC10s, I figure I can get about $100 for the asc rod ends/plugs ;)

original asc with a few runs. I think I removed the label to be top secret back then. I later ran a Cam Modified in this car but I need to cut the comm.

Nice original tub, the front A-arms seem to have been cut or drilled... to let dust come out?

Thanks Asso_man!, I don't recall why I hacked up the trailing edge of the arms. What I have now is approximately 1/16" on the trailing edge of the arm that cradles the block carriers. Fortunately the hack job on the arms and addition of side nerfs were the extent of my childhood "modifications." The arms have yet to break, probably will now that I said so.
