Been awhile since I have updated my gallery, I have yet to post pics of all of my RC10's, but I finally got around to dusting off my RC10 Trucks I have had while being an Associated/Reedy driver. I think the last time I pulled these trucks out of the closet for racing was around the 1996 timeframe.

The first truck: The RC10T in race trim.

The RC10T used the same chassis and Stealth transmission as the RC10 buggy back then.

The RC10T then evolved into the RC10T2:

The RC10T2 the evolved into the RC10T3: Mine still has all of the electronics and the motor is still soldered in it from when I last ran it back in the 90's.

This T3 of mine has the XL (extra Long) composite chassis on it.

Finally I have the 1st generation of RC10GT Gas Truck: This one still has everything from the last time I TQ'd and won the very first 1/10 RC10 Nitro Truck races our local electric-only club held, just after the truck came out and I believe only Associated Team Drivers guys had them and ran them at this race.
I don't remember me racing the truck ever again after that as I did not have the chance and there weren't many nitro races at the time, which made me lose interest in Nitro racing.

Here is a quick upload of one of three of my Associated flat pan on-road cars, I'll also have to post a picture or two of my Associated TC3 car one of these days.
I got this car (RC12LW) to try my hand at 1/12th scale carpet racing while up North. It was too cold and trecherous driving on the ice to go RC racing for this Florida guy; so after just two or three times trying I threw in the hat until it warmed up. Long story-short, I ended up leaving this job and moving back to Florida just as the ice melted during the springtime, so I never raced 1/12 carpet again. This car is in its original brand new shape from before the 1992 timeframe.

One of these days I will post pics of all of my Gold, Black and still NIB RC10's here, stay tuned.

Here are pics of my latest project, liquorboxracing's RC10 which will be another Box-Art Car as I continue Tim's dream of making this into a "Boxter" RC10 replica:
She's in good hands Tim!

New 2010-2011 Paint Scheme for me on both of my cars!
Big thanks to Jeff Harris for helping me out by painting my B4 body, while I painted the RC10 body, after I had done the tapework on both.
Thank-you Jeff!

These bodies replace my old 1994-95 paint jobs and bodies which will now be shelfed, shown below:
