Custom parts for RC10…

Post by m_vice »

I have been a big fan of the original RC10 since it cam out. I race my RC10 for about 10 year and now I collect some. The lattes thing for me is coming up with some cool looking part and make them myself.
Here are some pics of one of my cars.

Post here any custom part you have.

Love the forum. 8)

Thanks for the replies.

Ok, the 540 is a Tamiya RS540 Sport Tuned Motor 49/62. it was a big upgrade back when the old silver 540 motor was the standard. It is a classic, what can I say, it is good for display.

All the part were cut and filed by hand. I design all the part and drew them in Auto CAD printed some copies and use a jewelry saw tool and a lot of patience to cut them out. I look into making them in a CNC place but it was to expensive to make a couple for myself so I didn’t really went with it.
I have some pic of some of the process I’ll post them tonight. I will post some pics of my other RC10 it is a little more custom.

I do think it is kind of hard core, but I really like this stuff and I put a lot of pride into my craft. If you could see this parts in person you might not believe they are hand cut. It probable took me a week to make the parts for this car. And like a 2 weeks to make the other car. I only work on them at night after my daytime job.
You go through a lot of blades cutting CF and aluminum by hand. It is time consuming but I love the result and it is very unique. I don’t have picture of my other car here but so have to get home to post them ( I will post some more tonight).
Thanks again.
:D

Hope you have a good ECLS/Ventilation System when you do that stuff..... I hear ya on the CNC stuff. Our rates for NC machines is $170+ per hour. It only pays to do ALOT of parts.

Looks great!

Absolutely beautiful handwork... but that motor is still completely out of place in any RC10—especially a Worlds car. ;)
