The blue looks great, that paint job is killer, has a southern Baja feel to it, great choice in colours.

Blue is the new purple

Ok, so let's edit this thing and make it a build thread. We'll start with the Late Graphite as that's the car I'm currently focused on. It was pretty good out of the box...literally how I picked it up off a buddy. Speed was off and I'm really lost...

Ok, I figured just to make a post here in the RC10 tech since I'm not building the other brands. lol. I figured as I run into a problem I'll post here as I plan on picking y'all's brains as much as possible. Ok, so for starters. On a recent pick up,...

I had a few days off work so took the opportunity get on with some of my R/C projects which included making a start on my new-build JRX2.

First, I dug out all of the parts that i've collected over the years. This collection was started following a...

Sorry chaps! I've only just noticed that this thread got 'bumped up' - unfortunately JRX2 No.3 kinda stopped along with that last post about a year ago.... all the parts are residing in a box ready to be assembled into a car..... which probably...

Now I'm not a big fan of nib collections, I just don't see the point, never have done, until this arrived today. 8)

The fact that it's near perfect, 25 years old, and Senna's car, makes me want to keep it as it is, but that does kinda go...

Hi - given the age of this thread this may be a long shot but I’d hugely appreciate scans of the manual if you happen to have it still, please? I finally retrieved my kit out of the storage unit it was in for many many years and all the parts are in...

First post

If you received a early rc10, or whatever, still sealed up in the box would you build it? Or let it sit sealed up in the box?

Last post

RJK33 you have way more self control than me. I would of built that kit the day I got it in the mail hahaha

that's the thing. the moment you HAVE it, is when you start thinking differently. I have a few crazy NiB's at home which I wish I had never...

in an unrealistic world... it would be cool if we could all get together and have a build off. start with a nib (vintage) rc10 and see who could build it the fastest and have judges rate it based on how well it was assembled and how much care was...

Last post

I'm pretty sure it was aconsola. I'll bet that there's more than a few people that could pull it off.
nope, wasn't me. but i do remember the post. IIRC, he had the sub assemblies like shocks and gearbox already built and just bolted everything up.
