Gene Husting First RC10 Replica/Tribute - Need Your Ideas
Posted: Tue May 06, 2014 8:44 pm
I've decided to attempt the build of Gene Husting's First RC10. Since I do not have the skills to hand form a chassis, the basis of the build will be a Classic RC10 Re-Release. My goal is to use as many Classic parts as possible, while staying true to the theme. Some of the non-classic parts will include:
Single Stock Servo Saver mounted in the center (Have)
Tamiya Frog Front wheels and Tires (Have/On Order)
Nicd Sanyo Battery Pack w/ Duct Tape Bands on each end(Have)
Novak Servo's (Have)
Reedy Modified Motor (Need)
Black Associated Decals (Have)
Rear Tires - Proline Knobby (Have)
Wing Tubes - Anodized Gold (Need to have done)
Tie Rods and rod ends (Need to find)
6-Gear Trans - Remove felt seals and caps (Have)
Original nose, trimmed per photos and AE logo sanded (Need to find a clean one)
Chassis - Trimmed per photos's (Have, need to trim)
Shocks - Strip gold, Aluminum Collars, Dye Rod Ends Red, Edinger Style Spring Cups (Need to make)
Rear Shock Tower - Custom Fab (Need)
Receiver - N/A???
Speed Control - N/A???
I plan on trimming the front of the chassis to match Gene's. Eventually I would like to re-anodize aluminum parts to a light gold.
Future Improvements:
I would love to somehow procure a chassis without the 4-40 holes
Machine some of the parts out of nylon
Let me know your thoughts/suggestions.
Thanks Limestang
