It showed up today! I hope the hardware shows up soon so I can put together what I have.

This is the first time I have seen an RC10 in person. That gold pan is one purdy piece of equipment.

I got my hardware set from Team KNK today. I'll start putting together what I have so I can get inspired. I just need a larger bank account to get this moving. Time to find a rich woman :lol:

That's an expensive way to do it :lol:

Should be fun regardless

Like rc10th said, you’re going to pay a lot of money for parts. An RC10’s parts are worth more individually than buying a whole car. I wish you good luck on your endeavor.

Yes, I know it will cost more. I did the same thing with a Tamiya Sand Scorcher a couple years ago. It would be great to have a bunch of money to buy anything and everything I want, but that isn't my situation. I will spend more, but it will be in smaller increments as I can afford to. If I end up with a $500 runner, then I end up with a $500 runner. The journey should be fun either way :D
