rc10 restoration
I just finished up one of my current resto's. I started with a mint A chassis and some new tires.I used the speed control I recieved from scr8p I just had to find new wiring the soldering job isn't the best I need a hotter iron. I dyed most of the parts black .The shock towers turned out purple I don't know what happened its the first time I tried to dye shock towers. The body was painted by racer8838. As it sits right now I have about $275.00 into it . I have bearings in the trans and wanted to install bearings on the outdrives but they were so tight I just said the hell with it and used the felts and retainers. The rear sway bar is homemade from some parts that I had when I was flying rc planes.

Re: rc10 restoration
I love the look. Very nice car. Sway bar looks good as well. I've had to make my own.

Re: rc10 restoration
No they were a set of good used white ones I had . The only parts I didn,t dye are the battery cups and rear a arms those came from tower. All the other parts were either nip (trans case) or good used parts no slop, cracks, stripped out holes ect.
