Scored this the other day. I've had a lot of RC10's but have never hung onto them for that long. I guess I have always been looking for one new in the box and I felt I got this one at a good price. I will probably paint the body as a box art replica or a Jay Halsey replica (Might need to get a hold of Ruffy for some tips ). I must say this is the pinnacle of my collection and probably always will.
I guess the real question is to build, or not to build?
don't ask. just do what you want to do. if you want to build it, build it. there a crap load of these out there. for christ sake, there are boneheads selling new in box rc10 parts right out of the box.
personally if i had one i would build it. you only live once. why not? don't be like these idiot whorders holding on to it because they're going to get a million dollars out of it. it's not like they're "rare". there were a ton of these made. unless you're hurting for money than...

most people that have a nib rc10 kit already have 2-3 (if not more) nice examples of the same car already built. so why build the nib one? not to mention, what do you have once it's built? yup, just another plain jane gold tub. unless of course you're gonna build it with all kinds of period hop ups. but, how many people open up a 20+ year old kit and do that?
I was thinking maybe I'll paint up the body and shelf it. Then try to find a new build for display. For some reason I just don't know if I can pull myself to build it. I really envy those that have NIB kits. I'm hoping one day ALL of my collection is NIB kits with either box art or driver replica's. Nice to dream anyway.
Although if I can source all the part/decals for a Jay Halsey or a box art that might be too tempting not to build. For now I'm just happy to get my hands on a unmolested RC10 that I've always wanted.
Was partially assembled with box,was perfect and only for $20.00.EMAILED my arse off to finally try an get one again.But add was gone that quick and no dang responce.They ought to make them leave a contact number.Heart still racing fast.DON
One of two I have, this car was picked up on ebay, thought I would be really into it, since I didn't have one--sat for 3 months while I considered selling it once a week. Then 17Nut sent
me some alum rims for a friends dad (who made them back in...
did you ever get something off ebay, and after you win the auction you say, why did i get that? well, i believe i was distraught after missing out on melvin's worlds car, so for some reason, i got this. it is a somewhat built 6010 kit. nothing...
Hey, I knew it was a shot in the dark to check the LHS for some stuff to convert the front end of my gold pan to RC10 B4 stuff to use modern front wheels. I got the buggy complete except the front wheels are really wide rear wheels. I only had to...

Ebay Score... decent prices. I'd still pickup B4 stuff if I found it cheap.
This was a bit cheaper since I don't have to mod anything. :)
Picked up a set of front and rear rims, OEM size, chromed plastic...good rubber
I recently purchased a Cadillac rc10 with box. Someone started to build it,had it 80% done, then quit. It's brand new,but I have one concern. The nose plate and motor plate are lighter in color than the chassis. The chassis borderllines on a deep...
Dad sent me his Rc10 last week. I am finally getting around to sharing the car with you. I do have the original tires and wheels. The body has been cut but not painted. It needs to be cleaned up little, hopefully I can save the body. I probably buy...

Thanks everyone... I am so excited to be reusing almost EVERY part (arms/chassis/nose/motorplate/towers/shocks) that came with the car for my rebuld. I say almost because even though the chassis has extra holes in it (manual instructed drilling for...
