Chassis looks great! i just got mine back and am going to give it the worlds treatment tomorrow on the mill.

HI!... Well got the itch to start putting the "TEAM" car back together. This is as far as I have gotten tonight. The parts that are missing are currently getting the "Whitening" treatment, so it will be a few days before they get installed. I also have to go get some bearings for the inside of the Stealth trans.

HI!... Well ran out to the LHS and picked up some sealed bearings for the "TEAM" cars Stealth tranny. I got it put all back together and it runs very smooth. Here's a few updated pics :

Good stuff!
Keep her going!

HI!... Well did a bit more work to the "TEAM" car today. I just need to get a good set of nose tubes powder coated black and get the body. I really need to find a set of original rear tires for this thing. I have the original front tire/rims but need rear tires. I have the correct rims. You RC-10 experts, look over the car closely and tell me if anything is incorrect. Trying to get it as close to original as possible.

Thanks :

Neal

HI!... Well this is as far as I have gotten. I've added some vintage electronics, and battery to it. Still need two TQ-22 rear tires to complete the restoration. I've ordered a body. Should be here soon. The wheels whitened up really well. The fronts have a few scratches on them, but the rears look like new.

I might have some tq22's let me look if you need them.

I just discovered that thread - gorgeous work

Are the pics above the chassis after the blasting, or is there further processing involved?

Keep up the good work!

HI!... Paul :

Yes those pics were takin right after they were glass beaded. I then washed the parts in soap and water and then dried them off with compressed air. Then I simply dropped them off at my powder coaters. I have two more chassis's that will be getting powder coated later this week. Another "TEAM" car chassis and a CE chassis.

Thanks - this is awesome... I want a "glass beader" now, whatever it is

HI!... It's just a sand blasting cabinet that I run glass bead through instead of sand. Silica sand is know to cause cancer so I stopped using it. The glass bead seems to work much better and creates 80% less dust. Noit that it matters. You can see in the pic below that I have a industrial vacuum system hooked to the cabinet.

HI!... It's been awhile but got some more parts to install on the RC10 "TEAM" car. I scored a set of NIP Team Associated #6822 rear tires. I also installed a set of nose tubes. There not black. When I go to powder coat another chassis I'll get the nose tubes done. I have two other sets of NIP black nose tubes but for some reason there about a 1/2 inch short and have no threads in the very end. Weird. I have a body. I just need to trim and paint it and still need to buy a rear wing.

Those would be truck nose tubes...

The buggy ones are still available from Tower AE 6321

HI!... Well I was in a body cutting mood tonight. I cut out two "VIPER" and two "Protech" bodies. Just got to paint this one. Still need the proper wing for it???? (part #). Wish I could get the original decal kit for it...........
