RC10 Gloating...

Post by Eau Rouge »

I have exactly 0 assembled and complete factory made RC10s. That is, until today.


They call it right place at the right time, and lately, that hasn't been anywhere close to where I live. Today, though, I finally hit 'er in the sweet spot down the middle of the fairway.

I've been looking for one of these or an über clean TQ10 for a while without much success, and then just kind of tripped over this one on DirtOval.com. Should be here in a couple of days. A quick order to Tower has a new Viper, a wing and a handful of other little tidbits on the way. With a white battery cup and a few other minor pieces, this one should be a perfect candidate for a box art shelfer or something just as cool.


wOOt!

Very cool.

Picked up one from BikerBob, just waiting for it to get here. I also found out some 1:1 car friends have some old RC10s i might get for the cheap!


Very clean indeed!

Too bad you don't need to peel off a huge ball of electrical tape... :lol:

Nice score. 8) The battery cup will be easy compared to the motor guard... :P

Experience is that marvelous thing that enables you to recognize a mistake when you make it again.
