Well, I am on to my 2nd recent RC10 Project. It will be another version of my current racer. I picked up my parts today, and they look pretty good in ODG (non-hard ano). I don't think I will use the shocks pictured as they are regular anodising not hard. I would like to show you all the parts, but when I went to pick them up they had "misplaced" my motor plate, and one of my nose tubes. They said they would look for them tonight (in the tanks!) . Not that they can't be replaced, but I don't have allot of free time on my hands . Anyways, my biggest dilema is whether to build it with white parts or black... I will post some before and after pics later.-Jeff

currently:

nice...... i like it!!.

i think a combo of white and black (like a worlds car) would be cooler than all black or all white.

Nice looking tub you got there! If it were me I would try and go with white for the contrast against that pretty tub.

Looking good

Olive drab and white nylon would look great together, more striking than olive drab and black.

I have to agree with the white. I think it would look awesome with all white parts. However, It will be a racer, and the black parts are better for that purpose. Also, the only white parts I have are NIP and/or new looking used I would hate to use them on a runner . I have an entire cars worth, but I am interested in using them for a shelfer at some point -I think. I just need a NIP black chassis, nose plate, and motor plate!

I am with you, go with black for the racer. The parts are looking good.

Well, they found my motor plate and I picked it up yesterday. I will be working on the car tomorrow, as well as cutting shock towers. They still cant find my nose tube though wtf. Hopefully will post pics tomorrow. -Jeff

Black parts and miltary green body (we call it kaki in Dutch, noidea what to call it in english): with white star, white lettering ID and some safety stickers in yellow/black... Like a wild-willy

I like the OD green. Looks great.

Well, here is the roller. I will be painting and mounting electronics in the near future -Jeff

That color looks so nice. I love it.

Me like! The green looks awesome.

Super cool. White endlinks are a nice touch.

What kind of body are you going to use? A military themed baja bug body would be pretty cool. If not military themed, at least work some of the olive drab (="kaki") into the the scheme.

Need to order a Mirage SS (my favorite). Will do my regular scheme (blue, green, yellow, white) as it is a racer.
