I stole it...

Bought this RC10 off ebay for $58 it looked kinda ratty in the pictures but I thought it was a reasonable buy...anyway it arrived today and it's not too bad at all..a little dirty but after a quick clean up and it's already looking pretty good...I might even get a few dollars for the Rough Rider tires and rims on it...and it has a Hot Trick steering setup...when I think about the first RC10 that I bought locally and how worn out it was and what I payed for this I realise how much I've learnt off this forum...a nice "A" chassis in this condition for less than $60 !!!! I'm laughing.. And it's a great project car for my entry to the Vintage Nationals that we are going to be running later this year.

Sweet runner for sure..put a truck body on it for a change...I got the body with a heap of other stuff most of it pretty stuffed..it was covered in all sorts of random decals so I took them all off it's bright enough not to need them...

I think that's a "Hot Trick" steering setup
