RC10Talk - The Net's Largest Vintage R/C Community

ok...my last rc10 project. i had some parts left from the last project, so i am going to make a car i dont mind driving. flat black pan, nose and motor plate, black wheels, plastic and a black body. calling it a six gear "stealth."

currently in parts collection phase...

anyone have something similar?

Almost everything I have is like that

If you aren't going to buy black towers, the glass ones dye pretty well just gotta get em hot and leave em in for a while.

I think I have a set of bones and a black battery cup/strap....maybe more if you need some help finding parts. Cheaper than eBay!

and i thought it was a first

i had no idea about the towers...they r going under! servo saver looks bad...will it take dye?

just ordered black ball end cups...got axles too...got to get some sand to clean that orange off. oven cleaner just is not doing it

Sadly I have never got a very good dye job on the servo savers, they will take dye but still seem kind of transparent. .maybe I didn't leave them in long enough, def worth a try

I just did a couple glass chassis a few weeks ago, they took it pretty well. You can kind of see the pattern almost like a kyosho frp chassis.

x2, but as with diet pills "results may vary". Looks like a great runner project. The 6 gear doesn't really get much love but it's a smooth bitch. Sexy shape too.

here's a "stealth" build i put together a few years back......

Where??

thumbs made a funny!

this tub car eventually morphed into my worlds car, but here's where it started...

Makes me think of Spinal Tap: "it's like, how much more black could it be? And the answer is none. None more black."

this is pretty much what i am after

winger, is that a powdercoated chassis or painted? i have a factory pink powdercoated chassis that was pretty beat up, i am still trying to get the powdercoating off...nothing is working easy :/

here is an almost all black car I did quite a few years back...

it sure feels like powdercoat. it is just too beat up to leave it, even for a runner.

did u try sand blasting yours? impregnates the aluminum i hear but i am thinking i will give it a shot

looks like i am the last person to do one of these. oh well i guess i will get to have one too
