You will have to change the title of this thread from "TQ10 restoration" to something like "TQ10 resto-mod".

Something clever goes here...

Did you use peroxide to clean and whiten the parts? This seems to be the consensus from what I have read, and I need clean up some RC10 parts myself.

This was an interesting car. I wonder if Horizon commissioned any other cars between the TQ10 and the Losi GTX.

Does this chassis look correct for a TQ10?

Last post

Very nice example of an early TQ10 you have there. Original tires as well 8)
Here’s what I posted on the subject a ways back.

Thank you! I’ll go read thru your thread.

Here's the build start after the disassembly, cleaning process and chassis prep :D I know it isn't much at the moment, but the new graphite towers will replace the originals along with anything that needs the some attention. Stay tuned, much thanks...

Thanks Reggie, very interesting information. You don't really see it when the tower and mounts are bolted up so out of sight out of mind :wink: I'm happy with it and it's nice to look at :D

I drew up the masks, cut and applied them. Hoping to...
