These are a few pics of my edinger project. A guy I work with gave me a edinger chassis he was going to trash. I had most of the parts for this restoration. I had to make one battery strap . This restoration is a onging project I still need the correct speed control , frp trans brace , and those elusive goodyears. The speed control is from a CE kit . The radio is a current futaba . I am not the best painter so I picked up the finished body from race8838.

I love the looks of the boxart / replica buggys but I would be way too tempted to run them. Very nice example!

Very nice mate! But if you really want to be correct, you are also missing the early gear cover, the diamond shaped wing buttons and the servo-saver linked to the servo should be squared cut and not the later rounded version. Good luck in your quest, the most difficult part to find will certainly be those Goodyear tires, I've never ever seen them for sale as spares...

Looks good to me...The manual has the builder cutting the servo saver arm:
Nice car as is!

definitely, also note that if you're after the rear Goodyear tires, the front ones were also different on the "Edinger" cars!

I had a set of early edinger front tires but they where so dry rotted that they were useless. There was nothing that I could do to save them so I just trashed them . Like I say this is a work in progress . Thats the fun of this hobby for me trying to restore a RC10 back to its original glory.

I have seen a few of those wing buttons on ebay I should have snapped them up . But that was before I knew of the edinger car.I will just have to keep looking .I know the gear cover is not corret but its all I have at this time.

Very nice - cleaned up great!
Did the car have a lot of mileage on it, how does the bottom look?

The nose plate has e few scrapes but the bottom is clean.The hard part was getting those old stickers off. Cleaned off the sticker residue with wd40 and just soaked the chassis in water and dish soap overnight.
