Rebuilt RC10CE
Posted: Sun Jan 19, 2020 1:54 pm
Well I dug my old RC10CE out of storage. It was missing a few parts, and the shocks seemed a little sketchy. I recently cleaned it all up, rebuilt the Stealth and the shocks. Original shell was MIA so picked up a JConcepts shell, and ordered a repo decal set for it.
It came out okay.
Originally I planned on driving it again, but between the time I found it and got it back together, I picked up a re re Tamiya Blackfoot, which is my current project. Although it is no shelf queen, I am a little reluctant to drive it too, given it is pretty much all original.
I'm not really a collector, and don't have a place to "display," it. I put it up for sale locally. If a collector in the area offers me a fair price, I'll let it go. If not, I'm happy to put it back into storage. Don't want it to end up in the hands of some hack who is just going to destroy it. (I'm a believer in preserving history, whether it is art, pop culture, or something else. I don't like seeing the past destroyed.)
I'm a newer member here and don't want to break any rules, so I am not linking the ad, or even referencing where it is for sale. Just wanted to be able to show the community pictures of an okay looking 95% original RC10 CE.
If I end up keeping it, some of the tie rods need to be replaced, the rear one is mismatched, not sure what happen to the original, and the fronts appear a little bent.
It was fun rebuilding it.
