Box Art RC-10
Posted: Sat Feb 16, 2013 9:16 pm
After seeing some truly awesome builds here, I decided to make my own box art RC-10! I am limited in my ability to make and resource parts so it is not exact of course but close. There is always more to do but here is a list so far of what has been done:
finished body/driver/wing from Louis
tires stolen from an AYK Sidewinder
front brace tubes shortened
holes countersunk as needed
dubro steering links
dual servo saver bell-crank
wire center link with locking collets
front hinge-pin set screw
anodized coating removed from shocks and Novak ESC heat-sinks
aluminum shock collars (fronts painted)
red rear shock bottom mounts w/old spring cups (rear only)
locking collets for retaining upper rear shocks
black tubing for upper shock bushings.
handmade battery retainers
rear sway-bar added
The antenna tube mount is a mystery. It almost looking like a Tamiya antenna tube press-fit into a slightly bigger tube which is press-fit into a metal coil spring like seen in some Kyosho cars and wrapped in yellow shrink-wrap. I do not know what they used for upper shock mount bushings or what they used for the rear body mount spacer. That is just what I think based on the picture on the box. I need to convert the ball cups to the smaller translucent ones, but am short on long small ball-studs and was thinking of cheating and using modern ones from an AE RC-18T! Anyways any questions, comments, or complaints are always welcome.
