This car has honestly been in a box for 9 years before I decided to finish it (nearly)
It was bought from ebay HK but I believe it came from japan as the original body (destroyed when some goose tried to remove the paint) had yatabe stickers and JMRCA #s on it, anyway here it is all I really did was replace the hubs and a few rusty bits and a good cleaning it's been hardly run as you can tell and has the softest flexiest front arms you will ever see about 20 degrees of caster with very little force i don't know if these cars were ever released with these arms as they are crazy soft and look to be good for shelf duty only I find it hard to believe yokomo could sell a car with these on but maybe? All other arms I have seen have extra bracing and are of a much stiffer material The electrics are original and it looks like the battery was just taken out and the car pushed to one side maybe he preferred his lazer?
This shell was given to me by a friend I raced with back in the day as he had kept all his stuff the white is probably Tamiya paint the rest was pactra he tells me, but long story short the pactra had all cracked and flaked off so I removed it by soaking it in metho and was left with the white which means i had to paint it in reverse white followed by dark which is painful but anyway its different to what I would normally do and he says he likes it
I was just about to put this car away and i had a thought to look my other works 91 to see if the front arms are different which they are but so are the caster blocks obviously the earlier ones were prone to weakness so they have been beefed up somewhat on later cars.
Looks great Pete you've done a good job saving the shell I've got one I need to strip and re paint when I've found somthing sutable to remove the paint.
I've been after one of these for years now.......finally got one this week with box and manual at a very reasonable price....

That looks great! I misread your post last night at work that you needed stickers (not that you needed to print out the ones you already have)-- 12 hour workdays will do that to ya.
My original 1994 RC10CE was resurrected last March, and has been ripped up and redone a couple of times since, but I think I have the final configuration now. Of course, the only original pieces left are the rear buklhead, transmission top shaft and...

I have a full set of arms (wide black front, RPM rear) and arm mounts (black front, 0 degree rear) I don't need. Let me know if you're interested. It would be cool if you could put your original car back together.

My garage has been looking like crap lately. I try really hard to finish my projects I have...but I always end up adding to it with new stuff. So I decided to get a little more organized and put up some pegboard for my rc cars...
Much better now!

Nice! Yeah, it makes a huge difference when you organize your workspace. I did it a few months ago, but it has started to get pretty sloppy again. It might be time to re-overhaul my setup again.
