Stormtrooper rc10t

Post by 86NESKid »

So i am in the process of restoring a bunch of my stuff(had three rc10s and 3 rc10ts buried for 20 years), working on restoring my rc10t and rc10 graphite team car to shelf queens. In the meantime been working on the other two rc10ts.
here is one i have completely redone with all RPM parts to look like a stormtrooper vehicle or something lol
All rpm parts throughout
let me know what you think. gonna have the braces and motor plate powdered white.

and then i think i am going to find a way to add all these rom parts also
problem is they are all off white and different shades so may have to go black with these as well
once you go black you can't go back tho......hmmmm?

I'll buy the white rpm center link off you so you don't have to dye it lol. You can easily find black ones on ebay. Nice truck though!

I really like the white chassis and the parts you chose to go along with it. Is this one a shelfer or a runner?
