pics. of my graphite rc10

Post by rctenracer »

This is pretty much a stock graphite rc10 . Has rpm steering and I moved the battery cup forward to accept a modern stick pack.

Nice ride there, like to see some pics with the body off. Body looks awesome I'm sure the chassis looks just as good.

Asso_man! is referring to the little plug on the left side of the transmission...a commonly missing part.

Also the right rear suspension arm is further back than the left... :lol:

is this a restoration, or built from new parts (or new kit)? are you planning on using it?

Hey rcten kind of like running the gauntlet, all you want is a little love and what do they do but start picking it apart. :) You're not alone they did that to me also, just now starting to look people in the eye again. My Graphite is similar to yours but I did the earlier 1989 6 gear version where you did the Team version. Maybe I'll even take mine out of the closet after a couple 6 months and show it again, maybe even on this forum. :wink: Hang in there I appreciate your effort and handiwork.
