HI!... So going stir crazy here not being able to do much because of my hand. So I said F#*k it and decided to work on the RC10 DS. I got the "C" stamp chassis back from the powder coaters. Looks great. This is as far as I have got. Stealth trans has all new internals. Whole car has full ball bearings. Still need to rebuild the shocks and add electronics to it.

HI!... Well I got some more work done on the RC10 DS this afternoon. Pretty much got it together. It's got all NIP electronics in it. The motor is almost new also. Only used 4-5 times. It's got 0.56 shocks on it but they are black plastic? I'm going to order two hard anodized 0.56 shock kits from AE in a bit to replace them. I've been on the search for a long time now for the proper chrome wheels but to no avail. So I might just skillfully paint these one's chrome with the gold wheel inserts. I still need to find the MSC resistor mount. I have all NIP MSC parts. Just need the black metal mount. I'll probably work on the body tomorrow. It's new but the previous owner painted it ALL black instead of the bottom section that needs to be green. I might try to get some green decals made up to fix that. I have new Mustang decals for it so I will have to peel off the one's the original owner applied. They were applied very poorly and not in the correct areas.

Wow!!! impressive progress.

I like the powder coating, the results were sweet

That's looking really good but don't forget the 23t DS spec motor that would have come with it

HI!... Thanks. I'm sticking with the new AE motor that's currently in it. Will be starting my 2ND RC10 DS build pretty soon. I was lucky enough to get a Ford F-150 body and original decal sheet.

I see you mentioned something about needing resistor mounts.

Are you looking for new parts or are used parts okay?

i have these 3 pieces from a DS chassis purchase i made a while back.








If you can use these to complete your project then i have no problem mailing them to you.

HI!... Thanks that would be great. Please PM me with the details and how much u want for them. Thanks

Looks amazing.

Put an electronic speed control in though!!!!

HI!... O.k tonight I started working on this again. Got all the previous owners stickers removed from the body. Started applying the new DS Mustang decals. Is there supposed to be a 2ND decal sheet for this car? I'm trying to go box art but it seems some of the decals are missing like the large "ALL SPORT" hood and door decals and a few other small ones. Any help on this would be greatly appreciated.

I'll post up some updated pics later on this week.

Thanks :

Neal.

HI!... I still have to fit a few more decals to the body and fix the rear spoiler. Previous owner cut it out wrong and had it mounted backwards.

Don'f fire up that RX, the servo wires are in the wrong order (polarity).

HI!... Shelf queen................

I'm sorry but I have to say it...you don't take positive criticism very well; you have an excuse for every bit of helpful advice someone offers. People are just trying to help each other build better cars here, that's all.

HI!... O.k? Don't know what your problem is? I just stated it was a shelf queen. It will never be run so it doesn't really matter if the receiver connectors are in reverse..............
