I am building more RC10s!

Post by **scollins** » Wed Mar 07, 2007 1:48 pm

All,
I finally got around to painting a body for one of my RC10s last nite, it has been months since I painted a body.I did a simple spray can job with Tamiya PS paints, the wing was done up with some carbon decal material. Further details I plan to do include cutting out the windows, window netting, and an interior. The HPI RC10 wheels were a rare find on Ebay, and I plan to paint the front rims to match the new ones in the back as they have really yellowed with age. I have been too busy to paint since Ive had other things going, especially chassis builds. BTW- the yellow RC10 started out as a heap of crap, the chassis was scratched horribly, and the suspensions were filthy assemblies I purchased on Ebay. But a good cleaning, a painted chassis, and one pack of black RIT dye took care of that.

The yellow car will also become a "long" wheelbase RC10- Sand Scorcher hybrid, complete with a full interior, detailed engine and cage out back, and possibly working lamps up front, the paddle trac tires were found in storage. They are vintage Duratrax tires and they look awesome on here...will look even better complimented with a beetle body.....scollins

If I could I would toss one heck of a snow ball at you.... BAM, in the back of the head........ I will be in the 70s in 6 days. Looking forward to running and getting back into shape after one heck of a winter in Michigan (unless it is 40 or above, I don't run).

I don't run unless being chased

. And I have the sexy round physique to prove it. I look like a cue ball with appendages. I ask my wife for a back rub, she says let me drive around. I went to zip my pants today and I busted the seam, at the ankle. My clothes size went from xxl to xxxl to "OH MY GOD IT'S COMING AT US" OK, I'm done. Whew, now I am out of breath.
