Amazing what you find when you clean the hobby shop!

HI!... Got home after work tonight and decided to clean the old hobby shop a bit. I'm mostly a Tamiya man, a lot the last 3 years as I'm trying to collect the Tamiya 1st 100 cars. I'm already about 65% there. :mrgreen:

Anyway over the past 10 years I've been slowly gathering RC10 stuff. Restoring a car here and there when not working on the Tamiy's. :D

So I started going through stuff and man oh man I didn't realize all the RC10 related stuff I had. Nothing really extraordinary but just a lot of normal RC10 stuff. I took a few pics while organizing it.

This is just the white plastic stuff. Most has already gone through cleaning and the whitening process, but others still need to be done.

So then I opened this cardboard box and holy wheels/tires Batman! I didn't even know I had these. :shock:

HI!... So then I started opening these plastic storage bins and found these! :shock:

Image

Image

Then I found a small container of all black RC10 parts.

Image

Image

Image

Image

Then a bin full of RC-10 shocks that obviously need to be cleaned and rebuilt. :lol:

Image

Then a bunch of bins full of hardware.

HI!... Then the rear surprise was opening a box labeled "X-MAS" and it had this in it!

Image

And these :

Image

Image

At least now I know where the rest of the parts for that Graphite chassis went! :mrgreen:


BTW anyone know what brand this steering bell crank is?

Image

Image

Over all it's been a great day! :D X-mas came a bit early. Can't believe I totally forgot about all this stuff. Time to start building some cars! :lol:

HI!... Those two chassis's have been glass beaded. They are going to the powder coaters next week. One is a RC10 DS chassis and the other is a RC10 Team car chassis.

that's a nice pile-o-parts indeed... once in a while I clean some of my "key" boxes like these (biggest two are TRX1 and RC10 parts) and I find out just like you that I already own some of the parts that I'm still desperately scouting the internet for... usually I don't own one only, but more like two or three :roll:

Nice pics :) Be prepared for an avalanche of "would you sell" PM's :lol:

Cheers

Buy the yellow wheels directly or go for black or even white ones: http://www.jcracingproducts.co.uk/products/
