Hello All. I've had an interest in vintage RC10s ever since I remember reading about the worlds and RC10T kits in the magazines as a kid. I figured now is a good time to get into it with the ReRes out. I just traced a TC4 for what you see in the pics, minus the small lot of electronics that came with them. The one car is a full runner but could use some TLC. The other is incomplete but the chassis is in very good shape. It just needs some front end parts and a bunch of screws. I don't know what the stampings are yet since I haven't pulled the motors out. In the electronics lot I have an Associated stock motor, and there is a Yokomo and Kyosho motor installed on the cars. The ESCs are a Novak Rooster and Tekin Rebel, two of the best brushed ESCs that were ever released IMO. There is also a Futaba AM TX with a few receivers and a couple old Futaba ESCs.
I have been thinking of what to do with them. My plan right now is to use the better chassis for a shelfer and to do some mods to the runner. The bottom of the runner shows that it has been used a lot over the years but I have a plan on how to freshen it up. The shelfer I plan to keep as original as possible. I need to figure out how to get the paint off of the jelly bean front wheels and freshen the rubber of the tires. I will need to get some jelly bean rears to match. The steering setup on the runner is horrid and I will be looking for suggestions on how to properly fix it.
On to the pics!!!

Decided to pull the motor on the nicer chassis.

Two for one, sweet! Associated 6252, probably the most effective and reasonably priced steering setup.

I won an auction for some front end parts for the second car. Once I have them in I'll be doing a cleanup of all of the plastics.
