Dave's RC10 Retro Racer.

[DaveM]

Hi Guys,

I had a six gear kicking around, so I decided to dye the cases black and do the bearing mod on it, I also have this

powder coated chassis kicking around as well.

I had previously used it for another build that didn't go anywhere.

So I've decided to build a bit of a racer,

Cheers, Dave.

That's a nice looking tub. What does it cost to get something like that done?

[DaveM]

Hi NomadRacer,

It wasn't expensive, I think I paid about $30 Australian, the tub wasn't perfect to start with, the powder coating covers

a lot of the scratches.

[NomadRacer]

That's a really fair price. May have to pick up a decent used tub from ebay now.

[DaveM]

Not much to report, but I modified a battery box today and added a black strap to it,

to continue the black and white theme.

[DaveM]

Rear tires turned up today!

[DaveM]

Hi Guys,

Not much been happening but I did get these today,

Thanks Jeff!

Chassis looks good! I just picked up a C stamp today from the powder coater done in red.

[DaveM]

Sweet,

Are you planning to post your build?

I am thinking of doing my runner 10t in fluorescent red or fluorescent yellow.

Cheers, Dave.

[mikea96]

I probably will eventually!

Here is a couple photos of the red chassis.

[DaveM]

Very nice!

Should make a good build!

Hi Guys,

Front shock shafts turned up today and I got the shocks built,

now just waiting for the used rear bulkhead from E-bay to turn up.

[DaveM]

The bulkhead from E-bay turned up,

the pic doesn't really show how dirty and discolored it is.

But I have a plan!

[DaveM]

Hi Guys,

I cleaned the bulkhead I bought off E-bay in about 700 mls of water with a tablespoon of caustic soda and simmered

it for 20 minutes.

Wow, the caustic solution ended up really dirty!

That and some scrubbing it was a lot cleaner but still very discolored, I then put it in 6% Hydrogen Peroxide for 3

hours, was a very sunny day here.

This is the first time I have used H2O2 on any parts.

Wow, it came up really good I am really happy!

I then simmered it in straight water for 20 minutes to hopefully remove all traces of the chemicals.

Here is pic of the cleaned bulkhead.
