What are the black parts made of?
I just won an auction of what appears to be a rc10-team truck. However the parts appear to be black instead of white. I see that some truck parts were made in black.
Assuming they are original stock parts, are they made of nylon or some other plastic?
As well the Truck seems to have the original tires on white 3 piece rims and they have only light wear. Are the original kit tires sought after as much as the buggy tires are?

Sounds like a latter sport model.
Always looking for new and interesting ways to waste money.

Reading though the history thread last night I think so as well.
I am still trying to figure out what the parts are made of.
If it’s nylon than I’ll have to give it a soak to rehydrate it. If it’s a different plastic then I’ll have to research on its care.

If it is in fact stock black parts, they will be glass filled black nylon. Stronger than virgin nylon but less stiff that carbon filled nylon. If they are dyed parts they could be virgin nylon.

Thanks for that. It sounds like either way I should soak those parts. The virgin nylon parts were pretty hearty. I will be happy to see something that may even be sturdier.
