Got this on eBay last week . It arrived in good but dirty condition. BBS wheels and proline tires. Has unpainted Mercedes body also which I won't be using.
Got most of it torn down . Trans is gritty and rear of chassis tweaked . I was able to get it back in shape. It's off to powdercoat tomorrow.
I have new tires and wheels on the way and will probably add carbon fiber towers and bumpers
I was thinkin of jus buying them separately. But I'm pretty sure they are thicker than stock which would necessitate different ball cups. Which prob means different susp balls.
The ball cup ends are thicker than stock but fit perfect. The only one that you may need to keep as stock would be the ones that connect to the balls on the front shock tower. They can interfere with a screw end on the shock tower. Ive used the RPM on a lot of the DS's I have.
Look at this pic and you'll see the cup ends are blue except for ends that are closest to the shock tower...
I had a few days off work so took the opportunity get on with some of my R/C projects which included making a start on my new-build JRX2.
First, I dug out all of the parts that i've collected over the years. This collection was started following a...

Sorry chaps! I've only just noticed that this thread got 'bumped up' - unfortunately JRX2 No.3 kinda stopped along with that last post about a year ago.... all the parts are residing in a box ready to be assembled into a car..... which probably...
Now I'm not a big fan of nib collections, I just don't see the point, never have done, until this arrived today. 8)
The fact that it's near perfect, 25 years old, and Senna's car, makes me want to keep it as it is, but that does kinda go...

Hi - given the age of this thread this may be a long shot but I’d hugely appreciate scans of the manual if you happen to have it still, please? I finally retrieved my kit out of the storage unit it was in for many many years and all the parts are in...
i started working on my next what's old is new car, this time using a tub chassis. this will be built for the v-nats, whatever year it is that i get there again. being as though i've never been a 10t fan, i decided to sacrifice the only 10t i have...

Another little update.
Got a set of M4 Proline Primes for this. Seems to be what everyone runs at the track we go to. The car is still working pretty well, I'm fairly happy with it. Current shock setup:
So this thing has been sitting as parts in plastic bags for almost a year, so I decided to build it. :D I still need a bunch of parts to finish it off, but it's a good start. I have some NIP wheels but not enough screws to attach them to the hubs....

it looks great with the new wheels and orion matched batteries. :D
in an unrealistic world... it would be cool if we could all get together and have a build off. start with a nib (vintage) rc10 and see who could build it the fastest and have judges rate it based on how well it was assembled and how much care was...

I'm pretty sure it was aconsola. I'll bet that there's more than a few people that could pull it off.
nope, wasn't me. but i do remember the post. IIRC, he had the sub assemblies like shocks and gearbox already built and just bolted everything up.
I finally got my last Ultima that being a rare NIB Ultima Pro XL.
I now have the whole Ultima line up & most are runners but I never thought my quest for a Ultima Pro Xl would be a NIB. Don't ask why I got a NIB it just turned out that way.
While...

I'll get some pics of it soon to make you even more not jealous . :lol:
