- New built white CE Edition with Stealth -

Post by Asso_man! »

Hi guys,
I am really really pissed off today as I sent some money by mail (how stupid I am, I know) to RPM for some parts. I had exchanged a ton of emails with the "RPM answer man" about old cars, molds... The letter arrived today, but the money was gone... I can't blame no one but myself and I am now only left with my eyes to cry :twisted: :evil: To cool things down, I decided to build a NIB (though already opened) CE edition that has been waiting in the box for months now. What a pleasure to build a new RC10, it really took me back more than 15 years ago when I bought my first RC10 Team Car. I will try to build it as box-art as I can (behalf the body since it came without it and ain't got no Protech II). The only thing I changed on it are the stock green springs which I changed for some gold ones I had left, simply because they look a lot sexier on the gold tub. I plan to install the stock wiper resistor later on today, so stay tuned :D

PS: images are clickable :wink:

That looks so nice. It would be hard for me not to put a clear top on it and shelf it like it sets, no motor or anything.

David, that car is a real puzzler... Black metal shock caps, step pin rear tires (tyres...). What are the fronts? 6873...?

Man, I need some of those step pin rears for my black & gold CE...

You're always correct dude, amazing! Fronts are indeed 6873 and rear are 6823.

I also think the kit has been used for parts by a hobby shop and then probably refilled with missing (though incorrect) parts :cry: Front tires should be 6872, rear 6822 and indeed plastic shock caps (but not sure on these).

Thanks for the kind comments guys :D

My 6014 CE "Rooster" suffered the same fate...but they never replaced the missing parts... :cry: I have replaced everything missing except the tires... :( 6823 and 6873... on my Christmas wish list... :wink:

No, I will not help you with your dorky short course truck…sorry, it’s against my religion. If it's not a 1/10 scale buggy...I don't care.

great c.e., david. those 6011 kits always take me back to my younger days working at the lhs. i can't even tell you how many of those kits i built there. i think that's why i like mine so much.

I'm sure your LHS owner appreciated the fact that you sold every one with the full bearing upgrade! 8)

a couple of them. :wink:

they were a big seller for younger kids in the area. we sold alot of them in a package form:

6011 kit
futaba attack stick, or magnum sport radio system
point blank 1400 scr battery pack
pro-tech battery charger

i wish i could remember what the price was. i can just imagine how many of them were hardly used and just stuffed in a closet.

Thanks guys, this is also bringing back memories to me, and I suddenly feel very old and too grown-up :?

As for the black shock caps, I used them on my "Ultimate MIP graphite build" project and replaced those with plastic ones in order not to be bothered by the "period" police anymore :D
