In 2004 I bought an old RC10 with lot of dust on Evilbay. It spend many years in box waiting for some attention.
During 2006 I totally refurbish the gold pan except the body and the Rc10 return in the box.
This year i decided to finish it with a look close as possible to box art and fit a radio control.
I put a 2,4ghz receiver into an old KO-Propo cover and kept the old servos
I kept the MSC and i try to set as best as i can.

And then I spend many time on bodyset to obaint the amazing look of box art.
I made a mistake by using the wrong paint. I took a PS Tamiya black instead of PC Tamiya Black (for lexan), so any friction scratch the paint
Then I ordered a repro decal set and understood that was impossible to reproduce the box art with it. No matter i use some trim line to do the job.
I include a driver...
...and one day the RC10 is ready to run on the track

I really love this car, very easy to drive for his age, the MSC is very gradual and the brakes are effective. Not like those on Tamiya MSC with brutal reverse. The look with the combinaison of colors is pretty nice looking.
Definitly one of my favorite vintage RC.
Because I was behind the camera. That was a friend who drove carefully the RC10
