- New built white CE Edition with Stealth -
Hi guys,
I am really really pissed off today as I sent some money by mail (how stupid I am, I know) to RPM for some parts. I had exchanged a ton of emails with the "RPM answer man" about old cars, molds... The letter arrived today, but the money was gone... I can't blame no one but myself and I am now only left with my eyes to cry To cool things down, I decided to build a NIB (though already opened) CE edition that has been waiting in the box for months now. What a pleasure to build a new RC10, it really took me back more than 15 years ago when I bought my first RC10 Team Car. I will try to build it as box-art as I can (behalf the body since it came without it and ain't got no Protech II). The only thing I changed on it are the stock green springs which I changed for some gold ones I had left, simply because they look a lot sexier on the gold tub. I plan to install the stock wiper resistor later on today, so stay tuned

Re: New built white CE Edition with Stealth
That looks so nice. It would be hard for me not to put a clear top on it and shelf it like it sets, no motor or anything.
He's an idiot. Comes from upbringing. His parents are probably idiots too.

Re: New built white CE Edition with Stealth
David, that car is a real puzzler... Black metal shock caps, step pin rear tires (tyres...). What are the fronts? 6873...?
Man, I need some of those step pin rears for my black & gold CE...

Re: New built white CE Edition with Stealth
You're always correct dude, amazing! Fronts are indeed 6873 and rear are 6823.templeofspeed wrote:David, that car is a real puzzler... Black metal shock caps, step pin rear tires (tyres...). What are the fronts? 6873...?

I also think the kit has been used for parts by a hobby shop and then probably refilled with missing (though incorrect) parts Front tires should be 6872, rear 6822 and indeed plastic shock caps (but not sure on these).
Thanks for the kind comments guys

Re: New built white CE Edition with Stealth
My 6014 CE "Rooster" suffered the same fate...but they never replaced the missing parts... I have replaced everything missing except the tires... 6823 and 6873... on my Christmas wish list...Asso_man! wrote:I also think the kit has been used for parts by a hobby shop and then probably refilled with missing (though incorrect) parts Front tires should be 6872, rear 6822 and indeed plastic shock caps (but not sure on these).

No, I will not help you with your dorky short course truck…sorry, it’s against my religion. If it's not a 1/10 scale buggy...I don't care.

Re: New built white CE Edition with Stealth
great c.e., david. those 6011 kits always take me back to my younger days working at the lhs. i can't even tell you how many of those kits i built there. i think that's why i like mine so much.

Re: New built white CE Edition with Stealth
I'm sure your LHS owner appreciated the fact that you sold every one with the full bearing upgrade!

a couple of them.templeofspeed wrote:I'm sure your LHS owner appreciated the fact that you sold every one with the full bearing upgrade!
they were a big seller for younger kids in the area. we sold alot of them in a package form:
6011 kit
futaba attack stick, or magnum sport radio system
point blank 1400 scr battery pack
pro-tech battery charger
i wish i could remember what the price was. i can just imagine how many of them were hardly used and just stuffed in a closet.

Re: New built white CE Edition with Stealth
Thanks guys, this is also bringing back memories to me, and I suddenly feel very old and too grown-up
As for the black shock caps, I used them on my "Ultimate MIP graphite build" project and replaced those with plastic ones in order not to be bothered by the "period" police anymore
