I'm looking forward to seeing your progress. My son is 10 years younger than yours and will be sticking to using my first RC car that I brought back to life, a tamiya Boomerang. He'll have to graduate at some point to an RC10 though, I'm worried he may want the newest Traxxas RTR by then

Paul,

I was looking forward to seeing the end result. I appreciate your attention to detail.

Nick,

It would really depend on the year of the car and how far along you are. It will probably be worth more unused and unfinished.

Great start. Looking forward to your build

Congrats on rediscovering your RC10. My parents never had the means to buy me an RC10 so when a college roommate offered me his old RC10 car and gear, I jumped at that. He used to race up until the early 90's. It was now '98 or '99 and he gave me enough stuff to put together a solid runner. My first...

I love the look. Very nice car. Sway bar looks good as well. I've had to make my own.


PJ

very nice. looks like it was hardly used!!

WOW!!! If he swung that camera around towards himself, I think I would be to scarred to look.

BTW- He-man was the best. I still have my action figures somewhere in the attic.

Very nice car. Thanks for sharing.

I replaced the top shaft assembly with one that had the stock washers in place. It works much better. I'm not slipping anymore. Still have some more testing to due but I broke a turnbuckle running this evening and left it for now.

Thanks
