Monster Energy RC10DS :) Updated 01-19-11
Well here is my Monster Energy RC10DS project, well sort of, Im still waiting on the decals to arrive from Hong Kong
Its a stock RC10Ds with a 200mm HPI Saleen Mustang body (I'm a mustang freak), The wheels base needed to be a little shorter to fit the body, I'm using RC10B4 offset steering knuckles shaved down. It got the wheelbase almost perfect. I gave up on mounting the body with magnets , Im going to apply the decals before i paint the body so i can make sure they will match up. The decals are actually for a Monster Energy Subaru (No i am leaving the Subaru specific decals off )
As soon as the decals arrive and i get a day the temperature is not below 70 (That should be in spring lol) i will finish it

Re: Monster Energy RC10DS :)
Well i got the decals on and the paint done, I suck at painting so don't pick to bad lol. I think its ADHD, i cant seem to wait till the paint is dry or do the correct preparation. I'm always rushing to see the final product

That Mustang body is awesome!
If you can find them, I'd go with the black wheel centers to match the paint scheme.
I need to give mine a face lift...
Now if someone would just make a stock looking '96..
Projects and shelfers:
Late Edinger, RC10B2, Dual Sport, GT, Kyosho Turbo Ultima, Triumph, Tamiya Sand Scorcher, Blackfoot/Monster Beetle, '67 Beetle, Nikko Rhino, Traxxas Fiero, Slash, Hand-built Dune Buggy..all on here somewhere...

looks great you can always take a sharpie and go over the edges that are a little wavy but I would leave it alone it looks Killer

Looks good. Paint jobs only look "bad" when the car is sitting on a shelf.
