My RC10 Delima, need your opinion

Post by Konich »

So I joined up 6 weeks ago and since then the sickness has gotten to me. I have a lot of RC10 stuff now and want to get my collection down to building 1 runner. Then sell everything else off. Here is an inventory of what I have:
- RC10CE pretty bad shape but some good parts; andy's arms, cvd's, towers
- RC10CE good shape, 6 gear tranny
- RC10 Team Car, just bought off e-bay but looks decent
- RC10 graphite chassis, also have a couple wings, 1 custom painted body, and misc parts

My question is, if you were me what one would you choose to build a runner? Go with the graphite, use the best parts? Or go with the Team car? Either way I don't want to keep 4 cars around so If I build the graphite I will sell the team car, if I build a team car I will sell the graphite. What do you guys think?

The goldpans will be for sale. :mrgreen: I'm really leaning towards building a nice graphite and then selling the goldpan and team car.

sorry dude didnt mean to up the bid price on you that much on that team car, it was the third time that the guy had posted it and I watched it each time and finally went for it. Atleast it went to a home with some of it's relatives. If you sell it LMK, I wanna be first in line..

lol I was wondering who made it go up from 37 bucks to 80 in the last minute! :D

More than likely I will build a graphite, sell the team car (I will PM you for first dibs), and then sell the Goldpan with spare parts. I have enough to build 3 nice cars, but I'm afraid some parts will be garbage material.

Build up the graphite w/the best parts, and keep one more for spares. I am facing a similar dilemma, but mine involves the possibility of a shelf queen.Image

I really can't justify keeping more than 1. I'm getting ready for the fall season with my B44 & B4 so this is really going to be something fun just to run around. I have a XBR, 13.5 and lipo all ready for it. Selling the rebuilt team car/goldpan will help support my 4wd season. Cactus Classic here I come! :mrgreen:

I'll have a nice goldpan for sale by next Friday :mrgreen: My team car and graphite chassis will be here early next week so I'm going to start cleaning/dissassembling the two Gold Pans tonight. I also ordered about a hundred dollars worth of parts off tower (again) last night. Right now I should be able to build the graphite with all new parts except for the rear bulkhead and shocks. The team car I'm just going to clean up and re-assemble, same with the gold pan. I'll sacrafice the crappy RC10 CE for parts (hinge pins, tie rods, etc.) and then sell the leftovers with the gold pan.
