This will be my first of hopefully many chronicled clean up rebuilds. Out of all the different versions of RC10 I’m lucky enough to own this is the one I’m most excited about. 4C7E3324-1C06-4B25-9407-0E40C41FFB8B.jpeg 857AD4BE-3791-4EBA-9E23-17B116DAC091.jpeg 6727D748-0BB8-4A76-ABC5-706027E11C99.jpe...

The prints from Pro shops can be porous and stain easily , some shops offer a colouring service or yes painting them or sealing them in clear coat works just as well .

This is local to me, so it pops up in my usual RC search every day. I just don't know what to think here................... I currently own three 1:1 vehicles that cost less than this! https://www.facebook.com/marketplace/item/303136404944609/ From ad: This Ferrari 360 Modena based on the Tamaya TRF...

It’s been a while, whole new house and slowly getting it all put together. I now have a two car garage and a shed, however the shed while newly built is also very poorly built. Not sure what to do there quite yet. I have run fresh wire to three of the four walls (not bothering with the one on the li...

Looks great ! Well worth your effort, nicely done

Just a quick update... Thought I'd try to at least temporarily salvage the front bumper as a place keeper till I get my hands on a reasonably priced new bumper. Still needs work but looking wayyyy better than when I got it. optima orig bumper.JPG Probably too glossy... optima bumper.JPG Or satin/fla...

Still a bit to do, looking at a better battery hold in device, steering turnbuckles, would like to update the steering bel cranks and waiting on some m4 countersunk cap screws for the chassis., Then body, paint and some vintage tekin electronics. Just glad i pushed on with the platinum shocks, tryin...

Not certain if the Midnight Pumpkin used the same sized wheels but they had a version with chrome wheels. Unless they are aluminum then in this case they would be aftermarket.

They are probably the chrome king blackfoot wheels! Have a photo?

If it’s the original Blackfoot wheel design then no regular chrome comes to mind. Just the gold ones you mentioned already. I do remember a company that sold chromed original tamiya parts, definitely for the Clodbuster maybe they possibly did parts for other models as well. I believe I do specifical...

Imex sold chrome versions

I came here to post that they're Imex rims but got beaten to it. :P Also, Midnight Pumpkin / Lunch Box rims are slightly smaller than your standard issue 2.2. They're called 2.0 or something like that. You can stretch the tires on a 2.2 rim but it's a tight fit. Last but not least, the company that ...

The first 10T trucks had the 2.25 Stealth. The six gear was never used in a truck from AE. I used to have a truck with a six gear. I was able to get a 90T (48P) spur gear in, with a slightly tweaked T2 gear cover. I think 84 or 87 was the largest that would fit the standard cover, and 81 in a RPM co...

Yet another "happy place in Steve-topia" pretty much finished 🙂 the gun room is about done. Only ones not on the new wall I built are a new tactical 12g which I'll be picking up from my FFL Mon/Tues & the home defense one which stays next to the bed. Everything is not only nicer lookin...

This morning, I finally started the Turbo Optima build. The Turbo Optima was one of my teenager dreams, same as the Javelin. I ordered the Turbo Optima a few months back when it came back in the inventory. And few days later, I also ordered the Javelin, just because I wanted to build the Javelin fir...
