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

found this kit at a estate sale . It is all there but the body,wing,decals, driver and intructoins. It even has a parma reverse switch and bearing kit. I have a used body from racer8838 for it. I was just out for a ride on my mountain bike and came home will a new rc10 minus $50.00 bucks. I guess bike riding does have its rewards .

I love it when that happens!

What a great find , good thing you wanted to go riding.

this estate sale was from a old auto parts store that has been closed and UNCHANGED from the early 50's . the amount of people that were there to buy things was amazing. thats why i stopped to check it out. I am told the wife passed away at 90 plus years. The city of dearborn i am told will now tear it down .How a rc10 ended up there i dont know.

That's pretty awesome! Nice find man! I had a friend that found an opens Tamiya Holiday Buggy at a flea market for something like 50 bucks.

Which auto parts store was it? Where? (street corners)...... remember I worked in Allen Park for 10 years.

no name on the store front but was told it was a old parts store. The estate sale was in the house at the rear of the property. it is located on greenfield just north of michigan on the east side.

Awesome story, sweet score!

I love the paint job on that body, it looks great!!!

I think I figured out why this kit was never assembled. The nose piece was not stamped straight from the factory and throws the chassis alignment off about 1/8 of a inch.

That either really sucks, or is really cool. Just depends on how you look at it I guess.

I finaly found a new nose plate . It sure is nice using new parts in a build,and not having to hunt for them. I used the bearing adaptors in the kit to mount some tamiya rims . I like the tamiya rims but the proline bumper may have to go.

I don't know, I kind of like the bumper. It's different, just like mine! LOL

Nice car. That blue really looks good with that polished chassis . I like it. Did you use rit dye?

Yeah, the white stuff was pretty discolored on this car and the pan was pretty torn up. I decided to do this to one of my cars since I have several. It came out pretty nice in my opinion.

Both of them look great and I'm about to dye rite some stuff and I hope it comes out looking as good as those.
