HI!... Well i bought this one off Ebay and i picked it up on Saturday. Built the car the same day including the paint. I still have to paint the driver and install window netting. I accidentally stepped on the driver so i ordered 3 more. Just waiting for them to arrive. Anyway here's my build :
Box art :
Old vs new :
The treasure inside :
My gold pan was in great shape, no real issues with it and the anodizing all matched.
What disturbs me about your car is how it is crimped at the rear...I can't believe that came like that...I would take a picture of that and get in touch with Associated and see if they would give me another chassis....It is disturbing to see that some peoples kits are fine and others have issues like this...They need to know about the lack of quality control...

REM, have you seen one without the slight upturn in the rear? I've had 3 cars in hand, all are the same. Seen other pics as well, seems that is the way they are manufactured.
It is a touch more than the original/vintage chassis, but nothing that harms the car what-so-ever.

Look at your last picture...The one that just shows the rear of the chassis...It looks like the screw will not be able to sit flush with the chassis...Or is it just my eyes ???? Here is a picture of one of my beater chassis with the screws dropped in to the holes...The heads sit flush with the chassis...Yours looks a little extra crimped in that area around the screw hole...

All of my chassis have a slight crimp and roll..That one looks bad...It goes into the screw hole...It might just be my OCD getting the best of me...

Hopefully it does not affect the way it handles especially if you are going to run it...I just saw that and the came out...Here is project junkyard dog...A straight chassis that will have a re re nose and motor plate...slight crimp and roll but not a bow that goes into the screw head...Maybe I should just breath and count to ten

HI!... Well I picked this RC 10 DS up awhile ago off ebay. The previous owner did some mods too it like installing the long front A arms and stock RC10 rear arms and shock tower on it. He gave me all the other RC10 DS parts for it minus the...
HI!... Well since I'm still whitening parts for my CE' build and waiting till the powder coaters opens back up after the holidays, I decided to start rebuilding a RC10 GRAPHITE car.

HI!... O.k thanks. Well if anyone see's one, or has one for sale, i need one to finish my Graphite restoration.
Hello all,
For those who don't know, I got my first (and so far only) Rc10 as a short arm off eBay in early 2012. First I joined this forum and got it working, gradually fixing and upgrading it as I went. Then I learned about Vonats, got the car...

I know it's not a great motor, it was part of a big motor lot from Rccars4all. I'll probably put in a Trinity Chameleon next.
I wanted to make this better than just your standard slap together by using some parts that are vintage and other parts that are currently available. I've been collecting things here and there. A set of Dhawk aluminum parts including the...

6 years for an update. :mrgreen:
Why did you ditch the Race Master bearing adapters in the tranny?
I stole those to use on my sprint car with a Rogue Elements gear case
Fully custom made gold pan chassis, front and rear bumpers and shock towers, with modern front and rear.
Wheelbase has been shortened to the vintage length of 260mm.
Would it be able to be run in vintage class (because of the wide track)?
What are...
HI!... I bought this car from a fellow member here. Sorry, can't remember who it was now. :mrgreen: Anyway, I tore it down and whitened up some of the parts. Other parts were used on other projects I have. I installed another freshly built Stealth...

I buld this one last year. Duratrax and Composit Craft made a very similar chassis. :D

Just had another child (1st boy), so I had to shuffle stuff around in the attic to get boxed up pack n plays/onesies/etc.
Had to move my classic and worlds NIB's labeled tote. Peeked inside and they're still there.
Maybe in a few years we'll spread...
