RC10 4x4 mip!!!!!! HELP

Post by sturms2250 »

Hi can anyone help me out with this. Found this in my loft with other cars and want to know more about it. Someone for tamiya club said you guys would know more than them.
Both me and my dad raced in the mid 80's. This was his car so i dont know much about it. The car was not new to him he bought it off a school friend of mine. But the mip kit was new. So he put the two togther. (not a very good job :lol: ) So i'm going to have a go at restoring it.
So if you could help me out it would be great.

Don't know if there was one but if any has a manual for the mip bit that would help my out also :?

Sorry about the pictures. will try and do some better one's soon

Lots of good stuff on that one! I see Trinity shock towers, Kyosho gold (I think) shocks, Pro Line wheels, Trinity cored chassis and of course the MIP chain drive 4wd conversion. I think I can piece together a scan of the manual, or at least of the major components. PM me your email and I'll send you what I have.

I hope you decide to keep it. Stick around and you will find how rare it is. You will kick yourself later for selling.
