What to do with an RC10 Graphite chassis with gold guard?

Post by TokyoProf »

I have the following RC10 graphite chassis with a gold motor guard (I found some rear and front white nylon a-arms not shown in the picture). I forgot how it became part of my collection years ago. It would take a lot of work and money to get it running again.

I never ran an RC10 graphite...did you like it? Any suggestions about what you would do with one are appreciated.
If you can share any pictures of your graphite car that would be great too.

Build it.

My graphite car started as just the chassis. Nobody says that it has to be done at one time.

It's a great piece to have. I've been interested in one to learn how to repair and resurface carbon fiber.

it could look quote nice to just polish up the surface and display it as is.

No reason to rush into a build. Build it when you get the parts. Look for parts over time and bid prices you can afford. Eventually it will get built.

My graphite car is still an ongoing project. This is how it currently sits, partially mocked up. I'm still collecting parts.

Here are a few other parts that will be used on it.

I'm also working on a TQ10, but it isn't even this far along.

Mine started in exactly the same way with a bare chassis a few spare parts I had. The rest I purchased as & when they came up at a reasonable price.
