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

Hey guys, I got this body with a vintage RC10L, unpainted and without the outer protective film, pretty beat up from shelf wear. One night after a few drinks, I came up with a paint layout, based on another artists flames found online. Not sure who...

Long title I know, but some things just can't be avoided. Like burning the roof of your mouth on that first Pizza Roll, wearing your fingers to the bone assembling brand new turnbuckles, or waking up next to a fat chick after doing tequila shots in...

Here are my two rattle can attempt for my RC10 ladies.
I think it is not to bad for a rattle can :oops:

Would be nice to get feedback from more experienced painter :)

I hate to be that guy again.
But I got huge box of stuff and this part has me stumped. It had an A&L header card with no label but I contacted A&L and they said it wasn't ever made by them.

It looks like maybe Lexan wheel fenders maybe for some...

HI !... Anyone have any good pics of the RC10's driver figure in boxart/manual colours? I'm starting to paint mine soon. From what i have seen, its basically like this :

- driver suit = RED
- helmet = WHITE
- cockpit = FLAT BLACK
- dash/steering...

I recently picked up a rattle can from Tamiya called Lame flake, the top says paint black over the top, so is this just clear with flake or black flake like the paint can top suggests? Getting nothing from the Tamiya site.

Im wanting to put a tire rack on the back of this truck body, but as im seeing places nobody sells any. So I am going to probably make one. Can anybody tell me the best material to make it out of. I dont know about metal tubes, but if I have to I...

What is the name this 1/12 body ? Who manufacture it ? It looks like a TOJ style. I am looking for it.

I finally got my b5m, got it built and painted. The paint scheme is inspired by martini racing colors. Not as clean as I'd like in some places, but I'm pretty happy with it. Tell me what you think!

So I really dont have any clue how it happened. So A painted body I have has been flaking off leaving perfectly clear lexan exposed again. It had been happening just around the edges but it started to spread all over the place. At this point, the...

Hey guys, been away for a while working like mad, but was able to have some fun with body paint. This one is based on CE the manual art. I wanted to try this style of masking while I have a pile of clear bodies waiting for paint. The buggy itself is...

I have a restoration project that will be close to finish soon. I am going to order the body from TBG. I have some painting experience, but never painted an rc body before. What is the best way to get nice results? I do have an airbrush I bought...

i usually go with blue or silver or black or hot pink....pink for reasons of cancer research support. how i came to these colors on this b5m body i guess is chance. let me know what you think.

So this is what she wanted, so that is what she got :) Third time using an airbrush...so not so bad i think

HI!... I think this would be really cool to apply to RC car parts.

I had 7 loose unpackaged bodies and I am down to 2 that I can't identify. No markings of maker or model.

Anyone have a clue what they are or who made them?
I may have to take better pictures or just give up on the one in the first 3 pictures. It...

Here's one I did for my boys. I used Bob Dively's liquid mask.

I can't say that I've ever tried layering paint like this so it was quite an interesting experiment for me. I shot the black metallic + a little silver metallic first, then cracked the masks and had at it with the secondary colors to make this...

So these are my first bodies...learned alot while working on them...I don't think they came out half bad. Big thanks to James at Rite Eye Designs for always answering my ridiculous questions

With my 22-4

off of Ebay... Its the best first gen RC10 reproduction body I have ever seen. It just so happens that the person who did it was local to me so we met to exchange.. Great guy. It also happens hes a member here.. Small world. Todd10 is his nane here...

Liquid mask??? What is it, where can I get, how's it work? I've been taping & X-acto knifing for years. Apparently I've been living under a rock. Please have pity on me and give me the IN . If it does what the name says, shoot me now. SEVERAL TIMES!

I am actually trying to inventory all my stuff and wanted to share. Prob the rarest body(s) I've got and one of my top 3 favs. MAC Mfg 1/12th Ferrari 512M. Not saying that they are not out there, but I 've never seen one before new or used, much...

Dear folk of the forum,
Would you be so good as to give your opinions on this question?
Could I use a Tamiya X1 paint marker to touch up a lexan body?
Just tiny areas really but don't want to melt the shell. I need a black touch-up options, don't...

OK I have no connection to this company but through friends found a local racer and artist that is offering chassis skins. I contacted him about RC10 skins and he's pulling out an old one he has. I was thinking I'd pass his info in case anyone...

I have liquid mask, but i want to get some vinyl to mask with also...anyone have any ideas on what to use

I know this topic has likely been beaten with stick. What are folks doing to reproduce the boxart orange of the original RC10? Pactra Orange is too vibrant and rich. Tamiya Orange is slightly better but still not pale enough. In my searches, many...

Want to find a good dye to make old plastics that were dye back to white, I have found letting them sit in a 1/4 bleach water for a few days helps but it only goes so far.

My last two paint jobs are in my gallery:

More details on the FAV in the Tamiya thread.

Curious to get your experiences on how acrylics paint jobs last on really used vehicles as i plan to drive the FAV often.

I have a NOS white set that doesn't match? Can I peroxide these to match?

I know you can't do RPM parts, but I don't recall anyone mentioning HPI, yes or no? :oops:

HI!... Like the titles says, anyone have a colour pic/scan of this pic/RC10? All I have is black&white pics of the RC10 on the manual. I'd like to do a kinda box art theme on this car that I fully restored. Just need to know the colours. lol!...

I wasn't real sure where to put this, but I figured here would be a good place.

I've found that a good polish for lexan bodies is Arctic Cat Hood & Windshield Cleaner/Polish for snowmobiles. I've cleaned up some pretty good scratches and scuffs...

Why are they so hard to find? I've been keeping an eye out on ebay for months, yet I've never seen them come up. Whats the deal?

does anyone know of a good place to buy stencils/sticker's other than ebay,,my son wants to go with a certain theme for his rc10 but i cant find the stencil he wants to paint his body thanks

I am building a kyosho NSR500 (rothmans) from NIB and have spend ubar amounts of time seam sanding painting building etc. I had a look at the decal sheet for the first time out of package and some of the sheet has lifted from the backing. I can...

Hey folks, I'm working on painting some car bodies for my cars and it's just a little chilly out - I'm in Southern California so it's probably pretty easy to wait for a warmer day to do it but I DON'T WANT TO!

I had planned to do some painting this...

Sadly Skull Pile 1 for my team car broke last year :cry: so I'm doing an ambitious remake of the concept this year with a re10 driver to go along with it :mrgreen:

The driver was masked and painted last week in black/white/silver pactra and is...

I've been searching around for some RC10 Championship Edition box art photos and all I can find are the photos on the box. I'm wondering if anyone has any idea of how the paint looks on the hood and in the front on the sides???

Just so we are all...

There is a lot of canvass here, what custom rigs would be cool? So far I have thought of vanessa's off road racing team, zombie apocalypse van, the a team, and a GM parts direct van.

Well, I've been in decal procurement mode all summer and am just about ready to start my winter project. Still need to figure out what paint/colors I'll use.... I wanted to paint the original body like the box..... But I was thirteen at the time and...

I'm not sure if this was a real paint job but I'm looking for photos of a Red/White/Blue paint job on a Cliff Lett Team car like the one shown in a photo in the Dec 2013 Radio Control Car Action magazine on page 80. I've been searching for a couple...

Ok I know a lot of guys have tried various methods and have come up with very mixed results. Well I wanted to try on a couple worn out bodies I was planning on throwing away.

I tried it on the body from the Rad2 that I just got, and old outrage...

Hey guys so here's the deal - if you were going to buy an entire airbrush setup (brush, compressor etc), what would you get and why?

I'm ready to drop the cash on a FULL setup but I want a good one that will be very versatile (so dual action?) and...

What's the best way too contact them? I have a couple bodies I want too get reproduced.

is there a way too remove the old paint from a white part? Someone painted the bumper black on the Rad2 I just bought.

Hi,

I had desires of rally, but not to sell my Losi ten-scte and buy a Kyosho DRX or other rally car, so I got on e-bay a Proline 14RS body (Proline will not make more :| ).
Many people find it ugly apparently on the forums, but I like it :)
It is...

Painted this one up a few weeks ago. The more I look at it, the more perfect I think it is.

It's not over the top airbrushed with extensive detailing, etc, but it is by far the nicest vintage looking body I have ever done. Wanted to share in the...
