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

Ok fella's don't give me to hard of a time I am building my first Rc10 in 20 years. and I am not starting with much? this will be long and drawn out because of lack of funding. and waiting on parts? I have 2 chassis Not sure what one I am going to use? the Gold one nicer but cut up. the Green is nice to but pretty bent up I will be taking both down to my shop this weekend and stripping them I will use the green one if I can get it straight? I guess the green one is a Team car it has long arms, the Gold tub is a short arm. both are B chassis. I am going long arm to match my 10T. the chassis is off to the power coater next week.

Chassis looks pretty cool, you can just use whichever is the best chassis to get it powder coated as they are both "B" so everything is interchangeable.

I picked up a set of 4 yellow 3 pc wheels for it. What color should I do the chassis? I was thinking back green but I dont know with the yellow wheels? and a Chassis brace

What color do you think on the powder coat? I am thinking Orange after looking at the Team moo Truck If this guy does a good job I am going to brake down my truck and do that chassis orange. I really like that!!

( I stole Jay's Pic for insperation!!)

Yeah great color bearrickster i like the powdercoat thing nice to see you on the better side of the fence

Rick, how about a dark metallic blue or red to offset those wheels? You could add matching yellow striping to the body to pull it together.

Thanks, I dont know about this side of the fence? it seems to be the high rent district!! I could have built 3 Losi's for what I have in this thing already? and its not even got the first bolt in it??

Well you get what you pay for.

The Losi Guy should get Props I traded A Losi For my RC10T and a very sought after body for these Buggys.

That is a Loaded statement?? I like RC10s I need a change So I am working on a Buggy and a Truck.

I was thinking of the Red or Blue on the chassis Scampi, But my Fav, colors are Orange, and Red, that Green car in the other post is sweet also and I have this green chassis? I like the black parts and see some in my future, I think it will be more up to what the powder coater has in stock or can get cheep??

I LOVE that Green Chassis!! Please dont Re-Annodize it. Someone like me, who likes "patina", would kill for that Chassis, in that condition...well, maybe not "kill", but Id almost certainly ruff some folks up for it.

The color is better than it picked up in the Pic's it still has the glow but the flash washed it out.

Bah, you Guys are just blinded by the NIP Syndrome!! Are all the Holes in good shape? Besides being tweaked a bit (pic?), is it color and "rash" that turns you Guys off to it? Has it been "cleaned" already?

I havent cleaned it at all. I just took it apart last night. (I am gulty I like New ) as far as I can tell the only extra hole is the switch cut in the right side. and yes it is tweeked .
