Dans Rc10t rebuild
Posted: Fri Jan 22, 2016 5:21 am
I always wanted an Rc10t when i was a kid but they werent too common in the UK as far as im aware. I bought this one from j-sou a few years back. Unfortunately it was packed away into storage when i moved house and this is the first of me sorting through my rc stuff.
Its a nice clean example with little signs of usage. The chassis is nice and clean with a only few scuffs but i think im going to powdercoat it anyway. I love the technacraft turnbuckles and the litesink motor heat sink! It also has the losi hydra-drive im a big losi fan anyway so i may keep that on there
I have a new body for it and i picked up a set of front and rear body mounts. I also have a nice reedy motor im thinking of putting in. I have white rpm rod ends but they look too bright, I may try staining them with tea like folk have been doing with the 3d printed parts so they have a similar patina to the other white parts. I thought of whitening everything but ive read recently that they yellow again quite quickly?
Now i just need to decide what colour to p/c the chassis. Seems boring to do it black again so i may have to go with something that will stand out a little!
