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

So today I set up a table with all my RC10 parts I have accumulated over the past month or so and finally started a build. I had mentioned here on my first post (on the forum) I found the original RC10 I had as a kid, unfortunately this car was in disrepair. I fell into the restore blackhole everyone seems to fall in at this site, and I end up with 3 cars worth of parts trying to build one LOL. So I got the first one mostly together. I made a photbucket album for you guys to check out my build, just click the attached pic below.

A little back story behind my build. I don't really have too much money to spend on NIP parts so I pick and chose select lot auctions that had low bids and low prices. For less than $90 I was able to put together the pile of parts seen in the table images of my photo album. This entire car was put together from the best parts of my parts lot. I was able to get pretty decent white parts without having to purchase any NIP pieces. I am just waiting on my back ordered bodies from Tower, and the large wing kits that still are not in stock.

Now if I could there are a few things I need to finish this car if anyone here can help. I have paypal!

#1) A body mounting kit in white
#2) The matching front rims/tires (good for now)




Thanks for Looking.

Not bad at all, looks good! I might have a set of front rims but I'll have to look.

Oh, I forgot. I need a gear cover also. Thanks for your kind words daddeo.

I also want some advice. I have 4 motors available to choose from and wondering what you all think would be best.

Kyosho Atom Smasher
Speedworks Monster Mash
Speedworks Joel "Magic" Johnson
Trinity Monster Horsepower

I would LOVE to have a Losi Revolution since it was the motor that was in my first RC10, but they are hard to come by on the 'Bay

Either the Trinity monster horsepower or Joel "Magic" Johnson motor.

Here is a picture of a better set that I have, I do have more in about the same shape as these. Note: The tires aren't included, I'm not getting rid of them just yet.

Edited my want/need list.

Thanks Daddeo for being able to help me out!
