Hello From Northern Ireland

Hi All,

I recently got my RC10 back up and running after 25+ years in storage. Since I've already been browsing this site for information, I thought I'd register and say hello :D

I bought this RC10 second-hand in the early 1990s, when "upgrading" from a Tamiya Terra Scorcher.
[Yes, I know its currently filthy, but my son & I have been enjoying having it running again. I promise I'll clean it soon]

The car had already been modified when I bought it, including Andy's bumper & front arms...

& Shortened body (I've always assumed this was to allow quick battery changes without needing to remove the wing)

I still have some spares

including an unpainted original Viper body

and a load of documents/manuals

Its been great to have the car running again (it needed a new ESC as the original was blowing fuses) and I'm thinking it might be time to finally paint the Viper shell :wink:

I already have some questions, but I'm going to spend some time searching the archives before I start bothering everyone with them :D

Nev.

Thanks! If we ignore the fact that my first attempt to post timed out before I’d figured everything out, then yeah it was no problem at all :lol:
