My unexpected Cadillac

Post by works92 »

Dropping in RC world in the early 90's , I never had (or even see running) the original RC10.
About ten month ago I earn an original 6 gear in pretty good condition , to be honest my first idea was just to clean it and re-sell it.
But as the cleaning came along , I was more and more impressed by the quality and the ingenuity of this car.
Becoming more and more attached to it, I painted a rere protech body (the only none original part of this build).
Not a true replica of the jay halsey but more a tribute to this iconic car.

First of all , the transmission : the first "real" mecanical device I had to work on ; when considering RC cars.
I love it !

The all car cleaned up.
(what a surprise with the non split spring cups :shock: !)

Now I'm thinking of a correct period electronic to put in.
I already have an old ko exII, an M&Y motor and I rewired a MC112B for the occasion.
Are they fine for this 85-88 car ?

Added this rx to my KO exII, not as old as it will be ( I think it's the kr285 which come with the exII)
