Thanks for the add, I have recently acquired a few RC10's and am deciding how to proceed, as to restoration or not or upgrading electronics and just having fun. One of my recent acquisitions is a very original but in mostly poor shape A stamp car. I will be looking for help as to how much of what I have is original or re-pop parts. looking forward to interacting with the group. In addition to my recent obsession with vintage models I have a pretty large collection of the latest releases, around 70 cars total. Thanks again for accepting me, I hope to utilize this resource to its fullest.

Welcome!
I highly recommend just taking things apart, cleaning them and building the car with what you have if you are new to RC10's.
The cars are extremely capable as they were built.

Hi and welcome , as above any restoration starts with stripping , cleaning and looking for worn or broken parts , it's kind of like building a kit ,sort of part of the ritual :D .
