As far as noseplates, does that apply only to the gold chassis ones? I'm having a heck of a time finding the right one for my car. And I'm still too afraid to look for black anodized shock caps...

Thanks GAMMACRUSH! The parts did clean up very nice but the over-eager flash on my mother's camera helps a bit too, I think! The gold servo arm was one of those things I had to have as soon as I saw it. Now I'm on the hunt for gold anodized aluminum lug nuts.

Would it be possible to apply heat and maybe straighten the antenna out? Alternatively, does anyone here have that same reciever and would be considering a trade?

The antenna I bought is actually in a Futaba package, so is it possible that it's already the correct length? Quite possible. I do know the 27 band and 75 band antennas were different lengths and different colors. If you have the right band antenna for the receiver, you should be at the correct len...

Meh, I don't want to hack this thing up, I wanna do it right. I feel guilty about putting RC10T wheels on the back, for heaven's sakes. At least THAT's a reversible modification. Maybe the period police can overlook a few tiny things, but I don't want to do anything that requires permanent changes. ...

The wire that's currently on the reciever is all wrinkled, so I figured it needed to be replaced. I may have to look into a new reciever though, based on what you said. Thanks for the heads up!

Part III: New Parts! I had a friend spend the weekend at my house , so I didn’t get much work done. However, I did install the two new parts that came in the mail this week: my battery tie-down and rear shock tower. I had to grab some more new hardware from the hobby shop to mount these bits; I als...

Awww, too bad! I liked the "TEAM ASS" stickers!

Looks great! Pardon my n00bness, but what Losi shocks are you using?

Mud Blaster! I'd love to restore one as soon as I'm done with my current RC10 project.

I had wanted a real RC car ever since I can remember, I recalled seeing them racing in parking lot outside of the hobby shop I now work at in my early youth. Fast-forward several years later, I had just started eighth grade in the big high school. I went to the library during my study hall, and read...

Wow, I hope my team car looks that nice when it's done!

The Chris Chianelli is a character, that's for sure. Thanks for posting, I love these old magazine reviews. Are there any ones out there that detail my beloved Lunch Box?

I was actually planning on moving the Rx over to the antenna side, that was probably the change I was most excited to make! I'm glad someone else thinks it's a good idea. I wanted to mount the ESC on the other side of he battery tray, but the Rebel is too big - back on the shock tower it goes. *sigh...

Thanks! It's not perfect but I'm a bit proud for my first restoration. I'm really excited to drive it this spring (very carefully of course!). Any suggestions thus far?
