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

I got my ReRe today and just opened the box. I don't know why, but I'm not really fascinated Maybe because it's new lol

I don't know if it's me but the ball cups look fluorescent !? Does anyone also had this "surprise"? lol

I will start building it right now

One question: box art or other design? Suggestions?

Cheers

Make it your own

I got 3 RC10's and a RC10T build going at once

Box art, everyone is doing it. It even has the stickers for it. Tamiya Camel yellow, PS19.

I'm doing a box art, a Roger Curtis and Bell Ray body

Maybe that's the reason why I should not doing a box art lol. But it's okay, it was anyway my first my idea

I was also thinking about buying more than one kit. Would be nice to race such a chassis...but I don't have time for races :-/ I mostly have to work on race weekends

I'm actually just focused on vintage projects, sold most of my race material....

I vote box art. Sure many here are tired of seeing them but to the average Joe nothing beats a box art RC10. It brings back memories of theirs or of a friend who had one.

Yeah it brings back memories...even if yet I was not born lol

How about a box art car but done in shades of black, white and grey, to mimic the look of the original magazine adverts (when printed in b&w). You could even use metallics, ie gunmetal, silver etc. Might be a cool experiment. Maybe even anodise the chassis to match the whole monotone look.

Thank you for the suggestion, I will keep it in mind

I finished the car (but the body) and it looks pretty good. The assembling was cool and without problem and for the first time I had NOT to handle on some parts like arms for free swinging suspension!

Would love to run it one on our circuit....maybe I should really buy a second kit

How about ONLY back and white paint, using halftone dots?

Feel free to take the idea. I won't be using it as I have other plans. I'd love to see someone pull it off

Funnily enough back in the day I had no idea the RC10 was actually gold! All the UK adverts were in black and white. I still have some of those original ads in a folder actually. It was a surprise when I finally saw a colour photo of the RC10 to see all the wild colours. In a way it looked more serious to me in black and white.

I saw something similar in a model car magazine years ago. Somebody made a diorama look like an old-timey black-and-white photograph using different shades of white, gray, and black.

My 3 favorite colors and a great idea! Different 'depths' if you will but using those 3 colors.

After looking at some of your artwork, I look forward to see what you come up with for an RC10 body.

The bearings still aren't seated correctly since the gear drags on the inside of the case and the clip is not in the groove all the way. I tried the freezer/oven trick with no progress then finally used a cone-shaped dremel sanding bit to open it up a smidge but it still isn't right. How come one outdrive went together flawlessly and the other was not even close? Frustrating!

I traded emails with a tech at Associated and they offered to send me another outdrive if I provided a receipt for the kit. Who keeps those? It was certainly nice of them to offer one for free, though. I ended up buying a replacement from Tower which went together like it should have.

I also shimmed the outer bearing on the topshaft to remove the slop and used a mini locknut on the lower case bolt in place of the plain nut for some insurance. This six gear is now working like it was meant to.
