Well I bit the bullet and picked up a nice clean C stamp gold tub. :) Price was right plus the buggy looks to be in good condition its no beauty queen has a few rashes on the nose. Planning on turning into a runner so not really concerned about the rashes. Still have ideas running through my head as which way to go electronics wise. :) Should be a another fun build.

NICE! I'm working a deal on a clean B-stamp...

I REALLY want to get a gold pan and make it competitive. Setup and such is one thing...

But I'm afraid the loose nut behind the wheel might be a limiting factor! :lol:

Yep just something about the RC10 that keeps me coming back... lol I too am a nut behind the wheel, I used to race touring cars a few years ago, and wow some of the crashes I've been in lol. I tell you the hobby shop loved me when I walked through the door, all they saw was a big dollar sign walking in looking for parts hahaha.

Hi kineqp,

I like the blue one, is that a factory blue anodized chassis?

Cheers, DaveM.

Hi kineqp,

When you compare the color against when it displays on the monitor is it close?

The only reason I ask is I have a blue anodized motor plate but it is a bit darker.

I wonder if it is factory?

Cheers, DaveM.

Hi kineqp,

I was planning to chuck it out, one thread is a little loose, I thought I might be able to use a punch

from the back to tighten the hole up.

Comparing your Blue RC10 on my computer screen, the motor plate is at least a couple of shades

darker.

Cheers, DaveM.

The coloured chassis were powder coated i think mate, could be wrong but i think that's the consensus..
