RC10B3 - Rebuild

Purchased this used RC10B3 on a facebook group for $120 shipped. It came as shown, with a new body, which I thought was a great deal. Overall, it did not see much use, or any. Sadly, while the car was in near new shape, someone had to take a pair of pliers to the shock bodies and tie rods. All four shock bodies were messed up :( I managed to find some replacements for now, but they are not perfect.

Anyway, enjoy the photos! I'll update as I continue to finish up the car.

After. Still looking at paint ideas at the moment.

I just purchased a more period correct Tekin ESC (G-12c III) and will probably change out the receiver to something else, maybe a Novak Mercury.

Other than that, the body will be painted and it should be done!

Okay, did a electronics refresh.

New Tekin G12c III and new Novak Mercury.

Also swapped out the bowtie tires for Team Losi IFMAR Pins (I believe).
