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

A freind of mine gave me this truck today. I took him to the hobby shop years ago and he bought it and we put it together but he never put the electronics in it. I dont remember what year it was but I belive it was 96 or 97. He put it in the closet and never messed with it. So I was telling him about this site and that I had got into building the old cars again. I stopped by his shop and he said I got something for you. He whipped out this mint never ran rc10t. He still had everything that came with it the box, decal sheet, narrow fronts, motor, speed control and a new set of proline street tires. I am going to do a box art paint job and shelf it with my others.

lucky dog.

I tell ju senior that looks really good good to have friends si what u gonna do with her???

Lucky!

If it didn't come with one grab a new battery black cup to complete it off Tower while they're still available.

I am going to shelf it.

I got everything with it both battery cups even had a brand new Dynamite battery pack in the box with it.

Wow...just...wow!

definitely paint it like the box. i got one in the same condition and that is a big regret of mine that i messed up on a boxart opportunty shelf queen. the body and stickers are impossible to get so don't mess up, really no pressure....lol CONGRATS.

Why do a box art copy?
That's as bad a buying an rtr and keeping the stock body for it.
When you lack originality you end up just like half of everyone else.

I have to agree. I don't understand everyone's obsession with box art. The paint scheme is your opportunity to express yourself in an otherwise belly button, me too world. Unless, of course, you are very much in love with the box art paint.

Why do a box art copy?

With it being new and never going to be ran I think it is best to paint it like the box. Also considering the fact that I have another 10t that is my old modified racer with a non box paint it would look good to have a stock one with the box paint next to it on the shelf along with my rc10 box art and modified rc10 non box art.

That's as bad a buying an rtr and keeping the stock body for it.

If it was avalable in an rtr version with a prepainted body, that may be a valid point.

Some may agree while others dont but it just my preference.

same as me, i have a runner also. won the B in mod with my 10t runner. was a fun day.
