Opinions Please

Post by lexus-5 »

I've got a almost mint RC10T (has white parts) coming in the mail. I really prefer the white arms and parts to the black ones. Do you think the white would be acceptable to put on this chassis? Thanks for your input. To me this car looks too much like Halloween... :wink:

Remember it's either a runner or a shelfer. Everything else is just parts.

I like the black except for the battery cups. I don't think the white ones are the answer either, but there is probably another choice I'm not thinking of. If you are going to stick with all one color, then I would choose white. I always pick black, but that is one bright chassis. :shock: I love Halloween too though, so maybe it should just be a homage... Very nice truck though. Great condition. :mrgreen:

I think that statement says it all. Build it to how you want it. I like it the way it is but would agree it needs something to throw halloween out of the minds eye when lookin at it. Might look different in different light also when you get it.

I'd go with the white. It does look a little Halloweenish.

You guys maks me laugh :lol: Thanks for all the great suggestions, but I think I like the remark about the "black wasn't available when this car came out" so I'm thinking I'll switch it to white. It is a day-glow orange color by the way.

Black was available. You just had to add a little RIT dye. :wink:

if that is a factory powder coated chassis, it's not orange. they only had pink, red, green, blue, and yellow.
