In?

Shocks built up from the "best of the rest" used bodies and caps with new springs. NIP rear shock tower.
I wonder who J.V. is. Did a good job packing the motor guard back in the day.

More progress today hanging plastics. The 6371 universal joint axles were re-blued and look great. 20240309_135010.jpg 20240309_140659.jpg Went with a 6 hole NIP front tower as the original 4 hole was fairly beat. 20240309_130103.jpg Stealth assembled. 20240302_155719.jpg 20240302_155705.jpg Coming ...

Nice collection of part for the build. The gold motor guard is a nice addition. The factory graphite is my favorite version on RC10. Thanks. I got lucky with the motor guard on Ebay probably 10 years ago. I agree, the "plate" cars are really neat. A bit of scrubbing and a peroxide soak li...

While I was waiting for the TBG TQ10 body to make its way through the USPS black hole, I decided to slap together a Graphite basket case that has been warming the shelf for a number of years. I decided to be a little less strict on my OEM only rule, so there will be a few parts substitutions along t...

I once had a TBG body go missing for months. He ended up refunding my money. He was having trouble getting materials at the time, so it was about three months before I was able to reorder. Then, both showed up the same week. Someone must have whipped the USPS facilities into shape around here, as t...

It's a dang miracle. 26 days bouncing around Atlanta and they survived.

I was wondering about the same thing when I saw them (have one in my watch list). Could this be the OEM selling direct to the market? Or some OEM chassis leaving out the back door and being sold by an individual. Hmmm.

Hell is an accurate description. Great progress in the last 4 days. I suspect the body will be dust if it ever arrives.

Tower (Horizon) double charged my card when they shipped my backorder recently. They requested a copy of my card statement and it took about 3 weeks for their accounting team to sort it out. Disappointing...

Perhaps you have heard the news stories about problems with the USPS, especially in Georgia?

It's like a ping pong match.

The struggle to get a TQ10 body delivered is real...

A little more progress today. A trusty S148 servo mounted and also the antenna holder. A TBG body is also now on order.

Worlds rere runner (The first RC10 I ever drove ).

Mine isn't an exact original, more original themed car.

Very nice!

Scored a clean stock motor on Ebay. 20240302_102038.jpg Shame that the label is not visible once installed, but looks more at home than a Trinity motor. 20240302_102614.jpg 20240302_100200.jpg Protection installed. 20240302_103242.jpg And for the first repro part on the project. I'll probably use a ...
