Box Art RC-10

Post by Road Burner »

After seeing some truly awesome builds here, I decided to make my own box art RC-10! I am limited in my ability to make and resource parts so it is not exact of course but close. There is always more to do but here is a list so far of what has been done:


finished body/driver/wing from Louis
tires stolen from an AYK Sidewinder
front brace tubes shortened
holes countersunk as needed
dubro steering links
dual servo saver bell-crank
wire center link with locking collets
front hinge-pin set screw
anodized coating removed from shocks and Novak ESC heat-sinks
aluminum shock collars (fronts painted)
red rear shock bottom mounts w/old spring cups (rear only)
locking collets for retaining upper rear shocks
black tubing for upper shock bushings.
handmade battery retainers
rear sway-bar added

The antenna tube mount is a mystery. It almost looking like a Tamiya antenna tube press-fit into a slightly bigger tube which is press-fit into a metal coil spring like seen in some Kyosho cars and wrapped in yellow shrink-wrap. I do not know what they used for upper shock mount bushings or what they used for the rear body mount spacer. That is just what I think based on the picture on the box. I need to convert the ball cups to the smaller translucent ones, but am short on long small ball-studs and was thinking of cheating and using modern ones from an AE RC-18T! Anyways any questions, comments, or complaints are always welcome. 8) - Jim

Very nice! I am trying to create the same thing and that body looks like one I was looking at on eBay. Did you get it from eBay out of Spain?

Hi, yes the body is from ebay. I think Louis aka TamiyaSpain aka Louiepou (Tamiyaclub) is having someone else sell them now. He sold me the body you see but never sent the wing wire. No hard feeling there. I think they are advertised to not include the wing wire now!

Thanks! My friend was going to throw it away! Wish I would have taken the bottom part too. The Christmas LEDs I installed are kinda weird though :?
