My RC10s
My RC10s
Well since I've been off work the last couple days due to Sandy knocking out power there I had some time to work on my cars and thought I'd post some pics. I'm a casual hobbyist, never raced or hardly even bashed but always had an interest in the hobby. This is my original goldpan from 1987. Early cadillac - edinger box and motor label, no writing on tires. Broken down and rebuilt earlier this year. Have body, not wing.

Re: My RC10s
This one I bought used. Broke down and rebuilt mostly with parts it came with. Added new wheels and tires, repro gear cover, Tekin ESC and Jammin Jay diff rebuild kit. Has extra hole on each side I tried to hide with stickers
Re: My RC10s
This is my graphite I pretty much bought piece by piece. Has a lot of new parts. I think most parts are correct as far as building from the manual. Except used jammin jay diff tube, RJ speed spur. Need to clean up body yet.
Re: My RC10s
Biggest problems/pains in the butt with the builds and being a relative beginner - some stripped threads, getting snap rings out of outdrives (the ones in the shocks I just rip out and use new ones bought from Mcmaster), screwing ball cups on threaded rods. I'm sure I'll think of some more.

Re: My RC10s
Well, for being a "beginner", you've put together some nice machines. I like the original car's look, which is why I'd make it a shelf queen, but I'd take the one you covered the holes on, and do a little customizing.
People get into these for different reasons, and I think the main attraction is they're the closest thing to kits as you can find nowdays. Besides, hunting ebay is almost a hobby in itself.
Nice job.

Nice buggies! My childhood rc10 doesn't look nearly that good due to the angled curbs in my parents' neighborhood... perfect concrete ramps!

For a 'beginner' you have put together some fine looking cars!

Re: My RC10s
Thanks guys. I had 2 different painters on them and asked them to base them on the paint schemes from a couple old TCR slotless cars I always liked. Hard to pick up in the pic but the white circles have a number in them. I think it would have been better if he used the orange or black for the number to get a better contrast.
