Losi Guy building Rc10 need's help?

Post by bearrickster »

Ok fella's don't give me to hard of a time I am building my first Rc10 in 20 years. and I am not starting with much? this will be long and drawn out because of lack of funding. and waiting on parts? I have 2 chassis Not sure what one I am going to use? the Gold one nicer but cut up. the Green is nice to but pretty bent up I will be taking both down to my shop this weekend and stripping them I will use the green one if I can get it straight? I guess the green one is a Team car it has long arms, the Gold tub is a short arm. both are B chassis. I am going long arm to match my 10T. the chassis is off to the power coater next week.

Chassis looks pretty cool, you can just use whichever is the best chassis to get it powder coated as they are both "B" so everything is interchangeable.

What color do you think on the powder coat? I am thinking Orange after looking at the Team moo Truck If this guy does a good job I am going to brake down my truck and do that chassis orange. I really like that!!

Rick, how about a dark metallic blue or red to offset those wheels? You could add matching yellow striping to the body to pull it together.

The Losi Guy should get Props I traded A Losi For my RC10T and a very sought after body for these Buggys. 8)

That is a Loaded statement?? I like RC10s I need a change So I am working on a Buggy and a Truck.

I was thinking of the Red or Blue on the chassis Scampi, But my Fav, colors are Orange, and Red, that Green car in the other post is sweet also and I have this green chassis? I like the black parts and see some in my future, I think it will be more up to what the powder coater has in stock or can get cheep??

Bah, you Guys are just blinded by the NIP Syndrome!! :wink: :lol: Are all the Holes in good shape? Besides being tweaked a bit (pic?), is it color and "rash" that turns you Guys off to it? Has it been "cleaned" already?
