[THE H.P FREAK]

HI!... I started working on the TEAM car the last few days.

I have a buddy that owns a powder coating business, and I'm going to get him to redo the chassis black again.

I have a sand blaster in my shop that I'm running fine glass bead through. I glass beaded the chassis, motor cage and front support.

[THE H.P FREAK]

HI!... I have all the original AE white plastic parts removed and ready for the whitening treatment.

[THE H.P FREAK]

HI!... Well I picked up too large glass jars with plastic lids from the dollar store tonight. Also grabbed some aluminum foil. Picked up a 26 watt UV light from a local pet store. Man for only 26 watts this thing is super bright.

Just currently soaking all the white plastic RC-10 parts in a container full of CLR kitchen/bathroom cleaner. I want to make sure the parts are super clean before I put them in the Peroxide. Probably going to soak them for 2-3 days. I'll post up pics when their done.

[THE H.P FREAK]

HI!... Well I let the parts soak in CLR kitchen/bathroom cleaner for a few hours and then I scrubbed them clean with a fine scrub brush. This is how they turned out :

Off the car :

Then I dropped them in 3% Hydrogen Peroxide under a 26 watt UV light with reflective aluminum foil.

[THE H.P FREAK]

HI!... Well it's been 3 days since I submerged the RC-10 white parts in Hydrogen Peroxide with a UV light shining on them. I removed the parts today and submerged them in some RIT whitening solution.

This is how they turned out :

[THE H.P FREAK]

HI!... Well I got a few EBAY parts in today. For this build and some others.

Original TEAM car chassis (B) stamp :

The chassis is in good shape. No bends, cracks, no extra holes drilled. Quite a few light scratches on the bottom, but those will easily be sanded of and then I'll run it through my glass beader.

[THE H.P FREAK]

HI!... Well I got the RC-10 "TEAM" car chassis back from my powder coater. Turned out very well. Only cost $17(CAN) :mrgreen: It's high gloss black.

[THE H.P FREAK]

HI!... Well got the itch to start putting the "TEAM" car back together. This is as far as I have gotten tonight. The parts that are missing are currently getting the "Whitening" treatment, so it will be a few days before they get installed. I also have to go get some bearings for the inside of the Stealth trans.

[THE H.P FREAK]

HI!... Well ran out to the LHS and picked up some sealed bearings for the "TEAM" cars Stealth tranny. I got it put all back together and it runs very smooth. Here's a few updated pics :

[THE H.P FREAK]

HI!... Well did a bit more work to the "TEAM" car today. I just need to get a good set of nose tubes powder coated black and get the body. I really need to find a set of original rear tires for this thing. I have the original front tire/rims but need rear tires. I have the correct rims. You RC-10 experts, look over the car closely and tell me if anything is incorrect. Trying to get it as close to original as possible.

Thanks :

Neal

[THE H.P FREAK]

HI!... Well this is as far as I have gotten. I've added some vintage electronics, and battery to it. Still need two TQ-22 rear tires to complete the restoration. I've ordered a body. Should be here soon. The wheels whitened up really well. The fronts have a few scratches on them, but the rears look like new.

[THE H.P FREAK]

HI!... It's been awhile but got some more parts to install on the RC10 "TEAM" car. I scored a set of NIP Team Associated #6822 rear tires. I also installed a set of nose tubes. There not black. When I go to powder coat another chassis I'll get the nose tubes done. I have two other sets of NIP black nose tubes but for some reason there about a 1/2 inch short and have no threads in the very end. Weird. I have a body. I just need to trim and paint it and still need to buy a rear wing.

[chickentikka25]

I've been watching with interest - I rarely see the black chassis models come up anywhere! I remember on first build the tiny size of the transmission, how free and how quiet it was, how good the shocks were and how the RC10 was over the bumps. Great work, this looks fantastic! :thumbsup:
