It's possible to make flat paint shiny but boy is it not the easiest, especially if there's small details you can't really polish too much. It would make for an uneven finish. I've heard that your supposed to put the decals on, and then clear coat over them too, to get the ultimate in scale look. H...

A Mooneye's paint job would be rad. I like the two tone yellow. Cream over grey is pretty sweet looking too...

I am no paint man by any means, but I'd swear Suzuki sprayed clear over the decals on my GSXR fuel tank. There is no edge to them at all.


I admire your tenacity with this kit. I really thought I wanted one, but now I know I am not up to the task.

going to have to stop here

stop here..and savor

Seems like an easy enough change to make to the decal sheet, to add those two correctly scaled hood stickers; but that makes two JJH decal makers now that don't have it exactly right. Wish there was a place like Shapeways for decals, this would be already done and in the mail. Callie does a lot of ...

Those wheels look like they came out phenomenal

this thread is so helpful. Thanks for taking the time to share it all. I know it takes forever to document this stuff all while doing it. I'm at the point w/ my old RC10L's that I need to make my own tires to fit onto a few sets of See's aluminum wheels I've been sitting on for literally decades at ...

I don't want to hi jack your thread but it's these.

Your See's wheels are exactly what I would want for an RC10L, those look great! The width of your rear tires being almost 2" seems like that would be the tough donuts to find, the front donuts at 2" x 1.1" are very easy to find. Which donuts do you currently have, that you're thinkin...

It makes sense the TRC #922 are another option. It doesn't show up in the '91 catalog but if they offered other years by their part # conventions 922 would be pre-trued orange donuts for BBS front. Thanks for the motivation w/ this newfound info today I bought a few sets of the TRC pre-trued rears -...

looks great. It's so hard to finish a project. In fact, I don't think I've finished any, including ones that are just dusting up and making my old cars pretty. I remember the Dead Pool article in RCCA, and then had to wait months for it to come out in theaters and then on VHS. I rented it and copied...

Great job on getting them mounted up and shaped

In 1992 Team Associated displayed their vehicle lineup of on-road and off-road models which included: RC10T - 1/10 2wd electric off-road stadium truck released in 1991 RC10 Team Car - 1/10 2wd electric off-road buggy released in 1990 RC10L - 1/10 2wd electric on-road racer released in 1989 RC12LW 1/...

The problem with foams is that if you try to push the rim in the foam with wet glue it just pushes the glue out. Use contact adhesive and coat the inner surface of the foam and the outer surface of the rim. Let it dry until it it is just slightly tacky to the touch. Use your finger or a brush to the...

On carpet and wood floors we always used Paragon traction compound on the foam tires. I don't remember if that was also done on asphalt and concrete. It did make a huge traction difference on indoor surfaces.
