RC10B4 build
so ive been looking for a replacement for the indoor captet track as the rc10 took it hard last year
so i found a rc10b4 on ebay and decided to grab it .. i know i could have gotten a factory team b4.2 car but i want to build it so i got a basic first gen b4
here are the picts before i took it apart
the car was in overall good shape but stoped by the local hobby shop to see if they had anything intresting for it ... well i picked up some goodies and headed home
so i striped the car down and wanted to do something to the chassis so out came the carbonfiber vinyl
after that i started building the front end .. boy im glad i did .. some people just dont know how to build a car .. anyways i had picked up a RPM front end and after a couple of hrs got to swing free on the car .. also pulled the scales out to see it there was a diffrance .. the RPM's are a little hevier
i also did some RPM ballends ... dont know why they came out light blue on the picts but they are a close match to the shocks
rebuilt the front shocks and did 30wt oil to start ... starting to come together

Re: RC10B4 build
Looks great...when I rebuilt a car for my son to race, I took a little time, some grid plastic (plastic canvas from the craft store) and a drill bit to dimple the motor plate. Just to be a touch different...
