Re: Next Project for me, first RC10
Congratulations!!
Well, she's a bit rough now but with a little work, she'll be in fine order.
Looks like it has a Stealth, Andy's arms and a full bumper protecting the front of the graphite chassis plate -- that's where they'll typically begin to de-laminate if not protected.
Short shocks and that rear body mount suggests that it's spent time on the oval.
Anyway, please post more pics when the car arrives.

Okay, I guess those are RPM arms, bumper, ball cups, etc.
Chassis plate looks solid.
What do you have planned for her?

Re: Next Project for me, first RC10
that's nice little array of aftermarket goodies. A&L rack, tecnacraft turnbuckles, robinson spindles, all rpm suspension, trinity shocks, durtrax/cc/etc graphite chassis.

Re: Next Project for me, first RC10
half of a macallister lowering kit and early MIP CVD's as well.....
that's one of those 'rc10s' that is barely any associated parts.

Re: Next Project for me, first RC10
Hi All, so what's the best way for me now?
washed all parts and passed all nylon parts in hot water?
and after? try to go to black color on all pink/purple parts?
tell me what do you thin about that?

Re: Next Project for me, first RC10
That's a lot of pink. I, personally, would dye all of it black. Not a fan of pink, except maybe as a contrasting color on a body.

Re: Next Project for me, first RC10
Well you could proceed with the clean-up and rebuild, fit a body and wing, then decide if it's too much pink. If you decide to change the color, unfortunately your choices are limited to re-dying in a darker color (perhaps, if not black,then red, blue or tan might work) or simply replace the parts. I don't believe anyone has successfully removed dye from nylon parts. Also, you can paint the parts but it likely will scratch easily and generally won't be very durable.

Re: Next Project for me, first RC10
I’d go with a full clean up first and see how it looks. Maybe better to embrace the pink as to change it you’ll be doing a lot of work.
