RC10 Worlds Car (Updated 11-16-2011)

Post by nvxwax »

Well i got this RC10 off ebay a couple weeks ago, It looks like a worlds car (Chassis), I'm hoping the car is in good shape, The pictures are kinda blurry, Can anyone tell if this looks like a true worlds car and if any parts are not original to the car?

Well the worlds car has arrived, Its in better shape then i thought. I have new front and rear arms for it, I guess ill replace the wheels/tires and the rear shock tower.

Did the worlds car come with brass bushings in the bellcrank?

Has anybody had any success sanding out light scratches and having a worlds chassis re anodized?

yes, they had a bushinged bellcrank.

the only thing i'd do to that car would be tear it down, clean it up, and put it back together. replacing old parts only if it's absolutely necessary. find some nice used period electronics, paint up a body and call it done.

but that's just me...... :wink:

What period electronics would you suggest? I have no clue when it comes to electronics.
