Re: Vintage AE's RC10 graphite runner
Well, I wish I had a better memory. I should start writing down hardware part numbers in these builds. Sorry, I could be more helpful.

Re: Vintage AE's RC10 graphite runner
That's no problem. I went ahead and picked up two packages of the 3mm size. They look to fit pretty well, so I should be good now.

Re: Vintage AE's RC10 graphite runner
That's great you scored a set of the Lohas 5 spoke style wheels! My set of the Lohas Hurricane style wheels arrived a couple days ago, so I'm excited too!

Re: Vintage AE's RC10 graphite runner
I couldn't resist getting a photo of the rims just hanging on the car, so here's a teaser photo. I ordered some bearings for them and I got to get some tires as well. I will get a decent photo once I got everything. Of course I need a black body with gold stiping too

Re: Vintage AE's RC10 graphite runner
gonna look even better soon
Reg, you know I cant drive work a lick, but I like looking good trying I plan on only running this on a track once I get it complete to minimize the ware. I think I will go with one of my original ideas and try and do a John Player Special paint scheme on a Turbo Mirage body if I can find one. What would be awesome is if someone would just donate that body with the paint scheme already on it.

Re: Vintage AE's RC10 graphite runner
Thumb, if I didn't have 2 projects on the go I probably would have tires for this already and a body in progress. You cant even tell by the photo that this can has not receiver, I had to use it in another build Everyone here knows how that goes though. If only I had an extra grande to spend on modern electronics for all my builds
I wish I had it in me to stop and complete every build before buying another one. I already have my next RC picked out though

Re: Vintage AE's RC10 graphite runner
I was going to bring it last time, but one of the battery plugs keeps coming unsoldered. Any suggestions?
Next time I will bring it though.

BTW - I hope that you don't mind but I am copying about everything from this build but how good it looks!!
I am jealous of the gold atlas parts and matching hardware. I am not usually a gold fan but this came out great and I've been checking in on this thread periodically over the last year. And yes 'periodically' means before ordering more parts
