Vintage RC10

[Ruffy]

I've gathered these items from my attic, looks like I have a good base of parts for building a vintage RC10 gold tub car, not sure yet if I will make it like a Jay Halsey version, but if I can find the front rims and someone to paint me this new body in the picture like it, I think I would do it.
I also have a Novak T1 ESC like Jay Halsey used back then, but need to find the receiver he used. I also have 2-Airtronic CS2P's, a 3P Caliber, Futaba Magnum Jr. and Futaba Magnum AM all in new condition.
Anyway here is the start of the gathering so far, with many things still left to buy:

the front proline rims come up quite often on ebay. the tires..... not so much.

[Ruffy]

Thanks scr8p, I'll be hunting for them.
I also need:
1. Gold rear shocks ( 1.32" I think?)
2. The Novak receiver NER-2S
3. JG Mfg bumper
4. Wing
5. No. 4 AutoGraphic Stickers
6. AutoGraphics lettering for his name.
7. Sanyo Yellow Batteries (6 cell pack)


By the way, your Halsey Replica is awesome!

Is there a scan of the original manual around?

here's the front rims

1) fairly easy to find
2) somewhat easy to find (one for g-plug is a little tougher)
3) be prepared to open your wallet for that if you can find one
4) halsey's looks hand made. i bought a kimbrough from tower hobbies that looked pretty similar
5) have fun with that one
6) have fun with these, too. just remember, you need a black AND white kit
7) easy to find.

Looks like you have a great start Ruffy! If you ever want to ge rid of any extra nose plates or chassis?

[Ruffy]

I'm not to going to hog things, so once I build my car I intend to sell the remainder items to those forum members that need them for their own project cars. I also have a few extra gold motor plates, new and two already modded with the angled cut on the aft plate.
All I can ask is that if anyone can help me out with anything for my replica, please offer up what you might have extra, obviously not for free.
The only reason for me to wait is in case I screw something up during the milling of the different parts.

Even if they are kinda beat up? Reason asking is I just finished my runner and I have that bumper on it. It's split at both ends of the bend but other than that it looks good.

only if they're new are you gonna get a good price. although, i don't remember ever seeing a used one up for sale. so who knows.

here's the front rims

How much are these going for lately?
I was planning on built a version of this car and thought about making my own bumper if i cant find a original one, and i need to gather some more parts to start with it.

I don't even remember the last time I saw a NIP gold chassis.
I am looking forward to this project, keep the pic coming Ruffy.

Not looking to sell, I just don't want to destroy something that I could possibly never have again:

the last one i saw on ebay went for almost $50.00, and i've seen them go higher.

Ruffy,

Are you just wanting the #4 from Autographics? If so I will see what I have when I raid the old batteries we discussed in PM. I have 4's but don't remember if they are old "GOAR" numbers or Autographics.

For the "jammin jay"; has anyone considered a label maker with clear tape and black ink? I had similar name stickers back in the day that were made using a label maker. They looked identical to Jay's. The only issue would be finding the correct font.

[Ruffy]

Thanks JHarris!

Yeah the AutoGraphics #4 (3 of them) for the Halsey Replica. If not I can have it made from the images. Label maker machine sounds perfect.

Thanks again! Looking forward to a Vintage Race here in Florida.


The bumper I am not too worried about because we have Kydex sheet at work and I can have a guy from the floor bend one up for me after I CAD up the shape unfolded and then heat it up with a Heat Gun to bend, but if someone has one I'd buy it just to eliminate hassle ( but not for 50.00, I'd just make one as I used to race with these on ).

Personal THANK-YOU! to everyone helping me out with info and especially scr8p for all of your help currently and through your own thread for a Jay Halsey replica.

[Ruffy]

Scr8p,
Hope you don't mind me asking:

Where were you able to locate your rear AJ's tires from?

Where were you able to locate the Proline fronts, and do you have a part no. or description for them?
Been looking around and I got nothing so far.
