MIP RC10 build
Another project I recently picked up. Came with MIP trans, unknown graphite chassis (MIP?) Andy's short front arms, Andy's rear arms, and mics other parts.
I have some long Andy's front arms to use, polished SS universals, as well as Houge steering and a black Litesink.
Is it still an RC10 if very little AE parts are used???

Re: MIP RC10 build
I'll tell you what brand chassis that is, if you send me the "polished" (Trinity ) universals

Well, crap...I'd be all over that if I hadn't just picked this car up...this black one will go nice on this car, as it'll be all black. Gotta round up some CF shock towersCharlie don't surf wrote:Trade ya a blue litesink for the black one
I removed this black one from my other RC10, which would look better with a blue Litesink, to match all the blue nylon......haha.

Re: MIP RC10 build
Started working on this one...
Took the trans apart to inspect....looks like it was never ran. Gears have no wear.
Had a blue, aluminum screw kit I was saving for another build, but after seeing vintage AE's Custom RC10 build and really liking the sinister look of his rig, thought I'd use 'em on this one.
Andy's arms installed, as well as the Litesink and Trinity universals. Need to find some turnbuckles to match the front, which I *think* are Lundsfords?? with RPM ball sockets.
I was also going to strip the shocks and polish them, but now thinkin' of getting the newer, grey anodzed shocks with the black tops, as they would look more "stealth"....hehe.
The fiberglass shock towers need to go too in favor of some graphite ones...

Bitchin car...reminds me of something I had a long time ago. Wish I could get my hands on those wide Andy's arm again.
Re: MIP RC10 build
I had the opportunity to see this car in person. These pictures don't do it justice. It looks very sharp Josh! What is the plan for rims?

Re: MIP RC10 build
Well Gary, I'm thinkin' some aluminum rims....not sure yet. Those will take some saving for...haha...
Oh, and after thinkin' about it...I decided to take all my shocks and take the most faded stuff and polish them for this build.... I woulda had them done and installed....but an Optima Mid project got in the way....haha.
