The "misdrilled" graphite

Post by ra272 »

Hello, this is my RC10 graphite. First thanks to Mr Lexan for this post: http://www.rc10talk.com/viewtopic.php?t=752
The car came rusty and dusty, the motor plate was bent, but it showns very little wear.

I decided to clean it and rebuildt it with a 6 gears tranny, a new motor plate and a white belcrank steering (I have no white original steering in stock... :? ).

Probably my favorite RC10 now...even if it is "misdrilled" for stealth :lol:

That really cleaned up nicely. It looks like you just built it out of the box!
Bought my first RC10 in 1989

Thanks, I had hard time to have it that clean...some parts have been polished (wing tubes, diff parts, chassis etc). I had the chance to buy a nib rear motor plate to a friend in France (20$), and I had an old 6 geras tranny in my "trash box".
I recently found nib white stock servo saver and nib rear tires . :D :D

Finally I've finished this one: it was very long to find a set of NIB front tires (thanks Kenooze).
