purplenut · #1 28-12-2009

Well after many years wanting a team car ive bought this one,yes i know its a little rough but i will do my best to restore it.
It came rtr and for the price was not as bad as i thought.
Shell needs a clean and strip.
Its got a strip of lego for steering,but i do think its got team car shocks.
Let me know if you have any info on this model .
Thanks.

Sorry iam getting a error about the pics???can not put them on????

it looks like a team car with the chassis painted yellow.the front arms are rpm one i beleive.the steering setup is an aftermarket setup which once you have replaced the lego should be an improvement over the standard one.id check the chassis closely to see if it or the nose peice are bent as the nose tubes look badly deformed.if they are you can pick up second hand ones easy enough

enjoy

Hi Tony
Iam stripping at mo and it does look painted to me,i will have a little scrap to see.
If your right this will be a turn up for the books as i wanted a team car but bought this just for a little runner.
Yep its black under how the hell am i going to get this off lol
Thanks leon

Also its got a black gear box i dont seem to be able to find another car with a black casing???

tony6187 · #6 28-12-2009

you will probably find the gearbox casing was dyed black or could be from a later model worlds car which i think where black(i could be wrong)

just had another look at the photos and noticed the front shock tower is from the earliest rc10 with the narrow front end.the car seems to have various different parts fitted from different versions of the rc10,but isnt far off a team car

another plus is it has cvd's as well which while not standard on any rc10's do help the handling

all cleaned up now,not to sure what iam going to do with the chassis?.
Do you know any one that has rc10 parts?.
Thanks Again for the info.
Leon

tower hobbies in the states have new parts like a-arms,shock towers and gearbox internals.ebay is good if you are looking for used runner parts.i might have a few bits lying around what are you looking for p.m me

You "should" be able to get it off with paint stripper as the black chassis were anodised, which would not be affected by the paint stripper. No guarantees though...

The front arms look like the Andy's ones you could get way back when. The chassis has seen better days too, the right hand side looks a little bent and buckled and the front end if totally off, but nothing you shouldn't be able to bend back into shape...

I suspect its a legacy car - like my old one. Started life as the orginal gold pan six gear, got wide front wishbones (mine were RPM's), got the original wobbly servo saver uprated and finally got a stealth gearbox fitted. Along the way all the white parts got dyed black (though some of mine got their via pink - don't ask!). This one seems to have gained team shocks and CVD's too.

I've got bits for my similar aged RC10T for Liquid RC.

You could try http://www.rc10talk.com lots of information for the RC 10 on there. It has a good BST and wanted area which you can access after around 25ish posts.

Here are a couple of pics of a little work on the old girl.

Managed to findthe original ebay pics of the rc10.
Now you can se i had no idea what the car was like and the gut did not send me any more pics so it was a chance buy.
But came out great

And yes that is a piece of LEGO for the steering...
