RC10 team car

[Matthew Moore]

Hi guys, thought I'd post up pics and progress through the refresh build of my team car I have recently picked up. Plan is to rebuild and run at a few meets this year hopefully first time out at the iconic meet at RHR on the 10th of Mayand then eventually shelf I think.. Not to serious but hopefully you agreed it's being done tastefully.

Few pictures of what I started with;

Here's a bit more build progress, nearly caught up to real time;

I ordered the wrong transmission brace, I have swapped this from the J Concepts part to a fibre lyte version to match my battery brace.

hoping to get it a little further on this week in terms of radio install and having the shell trimmed up and fitted.

Thanks, the car won't be for sale for the foreseeable future, I'd like to run it a bit and then keep for a while.. I have done a bit more pictures to follow later

It's now just about ready to run at RHR at the iconicRC meet on Sunday hopefully

[MattW]

Looks good Matt.

[OptimaFan]

Sweet. What is keeping the shorty pack from sliding to the rear? Will you add a foam spacer block or so?

[Matthew Moore]

Thanks Matt.

The battery brace sits uptight between the bulkhead and Esc wires. But yes I have been looking for some black foam to make a locating block...

[Matthew Moore]

Couple more changes..

Factory blue turnbuckles all round;

Don't worry, I cleaned up the dirt from the test run. I fitted factory blue stub axles too.

Rebuilt and Retro fitted a pair of MIP CVDs from my old B3;

I used the car today at the iconic RC meeting at RHR on the astro track, and it performed great, I'll post some actions shots once I've got them..

What to do next?!....
