RC10Talk - The Net's Largest Vintage R/C Community

I just noticed the tray you made for the esc/rx above the battery. What did you make that out of?

its an old hopup made from kydex-ish plastic. i think its jg, cant say for sure... its been in the bottom of my toolbox forever.

mostly done.

im not going to put all the kit stickers on for a true boxart, but i do like the stripes.




tekin gen2 rs with a redline 10.5, hitec 7965, spektrum micro rx.
havent had it out yet but ive ran in a little inside. its got some zing.


threw on a hyperdrive with a set of 1/4" cvds. reversed the motor via hotwire.

still workin' on the funco body. thinking hot pink with the boxart stickers.

i have a set of parma f&r sway bars that i intended on using, but the rear bar will require a decent amount of extra trimming on the funco.

Looks good
How does the Funco body fit around the chassis ?

it fits pretty awesome. the rear shocks tuck up inside the body, which is different.

Cool
I'd like to see a photo from above please
I see you used green springs on the back, but are the front ones black ?

ill post one later. i assume you want to see the funco from the top?

green on the back, black on front. to be honest i put the soft springs on so the roller would sit with some squat. might change them for something stiffer, but they dont feel too bad.

Yes exactly

it fits like it was designed for the rc10. and i think it probably was...

it needs to sit a little lower and have the tops of the rear tower and shocks more snug against the inside of the body, so its going to need a little clearancing around the motor area of the body to let it sit down a little further.

is that one of those s&k impact absorber bumpers? i've had more a than a few of them but never had one out of the package and bolted to a car.

yep. i didnt use the piece of black foam that comes with them. kinda goofy looking at first but its growing on me.

The Funco body is awesome...toss that protech box-artsy fartsy thing away

Thanks mate
that Funco body is really looking good on there

Liking that Funco body and your build, cant wait to see it painted!

its a little cold to painting... :/
