i like the green too, but i also like the thought of a dark metallic blue. the blue would be my pic, i am a sucker for the FT blue accents.

you wont be disappointed by dipping into the associate pool. i have often thought about getting a Losi car

Other than a few Tamiya cars, 1989 I bought My first real Race car. it was a RC10 New in the box. But a friend of mine who I raced with every week, won every week with a Proformance Jrx2. I got tired of loseing so I bought it from him. I still have it, and have had Losi's ever since. their cheaper and easer to work on, in my opinion. I give you all a hard time but the RC10 is cool.

I LOVE that Green Chassis!! Please dont Re-Annodize it. Someone like me, who likes "patina", would kill for that Chassis, in that condition...well, maybe not "kill", but Id almost certainly ruff some folks up for it.

Gotta agree with MONSTER. Those tubs are pretty cool looking as-is. Those scratches on the gold one where the steering servo goes would kind of bug me, but it looks like a servo will cover them up. I'd probably use either one as they are and not repowder anything.

But if you do repowder, that orange is awesome.

I was going to repowder coat it green so it would be the same? I guess dont understand? the cut one is going to be orange.

Well this goes for anybody, if you want the green chassis I will trade it for any fixable chassis? any color as I am going to powder coat what ever chassis I build?

[RedScampi]

I think they're just saying that the chassis look good enough in their worn condition so don't go to the trouble of getting it powder coated. I say powder away! After all it's your only RC10 (so far) so make it the way you want it!

Its going to be my only Rc10, unless another Worlds car pop's up on EBay for 50 bucks. I am DONE with RC for awhile its gotten out of hand $$$$:lol:

rick, are you planning on building an rc10 to run, or to have a nice example to sit on the shelf? i guess since your talking about powder coating 2 chassis', your building one of each?

Right now sitting on the shelf, I have a nice 10T I got from JK. I want to powder coat a nice orange chassis for that and I want to build this buggy. then I am done for a while!!

But that thought did go away, right??

Seriously the orange would look nice, but I'm confused if you need 2 chassis for one car... If the green one is going to get run I wouldn't bother getting it re-coated, but that's just me.

Good luck!

EDIT: My confusion is gone now... we posted at the same time. Powder coat 'em all if they are going on a shelf.

[bearrickster]

No I am only doing 1. the green one is bent up I am going to try and straighten it, if not I will use the cut chassis. one is going to be my buggy chassis and if the powder coater does a good job I am going to do the other one for my 10T. the only way I would do another one is if the parts car I am going to look at is nicer than what I have? then I might build a runner out of the cut chassis.

[bearrickster]

Well I am still waiting on the powder coater? so I got all of the parts together and put them in a box so their some what organized? thanks to a lot of guys on here I think I will have a nice car. no were near stock but nice all the same? here are the parts I have been collecting. the body is a Protech I am thinking of stripping the shocks and just polishing them? I think it will look good with the metalic Blue chassis and black parts? what do you think?

[RedScampi]

Sweet, i see you got the parts from me. I hope those shocks will work for you, if not, let me know and I'll see what I can do.

[bearrickster]

yes their great thanks, now all I need is a chassis? My powder coater is MIA?? I am going to just paint it I think

[bearrickster]

Ok I have RPM #70542 arms and a stealth what dog bones or better yet Mip drive shafts do I need????
