RC10Talk - The Net's Largest Vintage R/C Community

Here's My RC10 Racer Project. It Has a Traxxas 20 Turn Stinger Motor, a Duratrax Sprint 2 ESC, and a Vintage Futaba Radio (original).Its in Pretty Good Condition Other Than A Piece Of **** Body. It Has Bean In The Family For Years. My Dad Bought It New In The 80's. What's Coming For It Is A New Body, Wheels, a MX3FHSS, a Duratrax Streak ESC, and a Reedy Ti World's Edition Modified 12T Motor. I Am Only 13 So I Am On A Tight Budget. I Couldn't Find 2 Of The Wheel Bearings So I Put Bushings Instead. Here's Some Pics. [P.S The Wet Stuff Is Water]













The Trio

welcome to the board! Nice car. I even kinda like the old thrasher body! If you're gonna go with a 12T you better have some good batteries behind it!!!

Yup Time To Hit Up Max Amps!

NEW:
Wheels (Ultima RB)
Tires (Proline Dirt Hawgs)
Wing (6 Inch)
Battery Hold Downs (Black)

Body Gets Painted This Summer

The wheel & tire combo looks great!

Do the Ultima wheels need any modifications to fit?

great wheel and tire combo. you gonna clean it up a bit and keep running it?

The Only Modification To The Wheels Are The HPI Super Star Rim Adaptor (Rear)

i like that body the way it is! it has sort of a rat rod bad boy flavor to it.

I agree, I think the body looks tough.....kinda Mad Max looking.

I'd keep it.

Man, those wheels look great. I had no idea there was anything other than typical boring cone dish racing style available. I took a chance on the RPM's fitting on mine and got lucky (with some special modifications for the front axles). Those Ultima wheels look like they were made for it, and would be hassle free.

I may have to look for a set of those myself.

The Proline Dirt Hawgs tires are sweet, and a perfect choice.

First shot looks great, to use an old phrase "keeping it real" I think a proper runner like this photographed real well in a studio type environment would make a very cool short.

12T + 6 gear is that going to hold up

I Hope So If Not A Graphite And Stealth is Going In It

I Just Got Done Prepping The Body For The Rat Rod Idea You Guys Suggested Here's Some Pics




Its Gonna Be Painted Gun Metal

It looks like you stripped the paint? Did the Lexan turn brittle? You may want to paint it white or else paint it on the outside otherwise all that discoloration will probably show.

I Actually Did Strip The Paint I Tried To Paint It White And I Failed Misserably. The Lexan Didnt Turn Brittle Though. I Might Just Use This Body As A Basher So I Tried To Make It Look Like A Rat Rod hmmmmmmmmmmmmm. Im Kinda lost right now
