Amazing what you find when you clean the hobby shop!
HI!... Got home after work tonight and decided to clean the old hobby shop a bit. I'm mostly a Tamiya man, a lot the last 3 years as I'm trying to collect the Tamiya 1st 100 cars. I'm already about 65% there.
Anyway over the past 10 years I've been slowly gathering RC10 stuff. Restoring a car here and there when not working on the Tamiy's.
So I started going through stuff and man oh man I didn't realize all the RC10 related stuff I had. Nothing really extraordinary but just a lot of normal RC10 stuff. I took a few pics while organizing it.
This is just the white plastic stuff. Most has already gone through cleaning and the whitening process, but others still need to be done.
So then I opened this cardboard box and holy wheels/tires Batman! I didn't even know I had these.

HI!... So then I started opening these plastic storage bins and found these!
Then I found a small container of all black RC10 parts.
Then a bin full of RC-10 shocks that obviously need to be cleaned and rebuilt.
Then a bunch of bins full of hardware.

Re: Amazing what you find when you clean the hobby shop!
HI!... Then the rear surprise was opening a box labeled "X-MAS" and it had this in it!
And these :
At least now I know where the rest of the parts for that Graphite chassis went!
BTW anyone know what brand this steering bell crank is?
Over all it's been a great day! X-mas came a bit early. Can't believe I totally forgot about all this stuff. Time to start building some cars!

Re: Amazing what you find when you clean the hobby shop!
that's a nice pile-o-parts indeed... once in a while I clean some of my "key" boxes like these (biggest two are TRX1 and RC10 parts) and I find out just like you that I already own some of the parts that I'm still desperately scouting the internet for... usually I don't own one only, but more like two or three
Nice pics Be prepared for an avalanche of "would you sell" PM's

Buy the yellow wheels directly or go for black or even white ones: http://www.jcracingproducts.co.uk/products/surgetek wrote:TEASE
