It's like Christmas 1989 all over again lol.

That is going to have to wait for better weather.  

You should have line traced all the parts.  

Would be nice to have an STL that you could then have replacement parts cut from or even 3D print yourself...

I remember seeing those in RCM magazine.  Which...damn I am old.

Damn thats an OG.

I still have my RC-10 buggy and my RC-10L. I’ve thought about getting them going, but not sure what to use. What battery, motor and speed control are you going to use?

Right now I just put in a Tamiya silver can 540. Probably a Hobbywing 1060 and low C rated Lipo just to run it and see how it does. It's going to mainly be a Shelf Queen.

I’ll have to check those out

Kind of wish I still had my RC-10 buggy with aftermarket graphite chasis and  trailing arm suspension as well as my 10L (narrow body) - I gave them away 25+ years ago.

This thread makes me feel very old, but man those cars were fun.

I've got this on a shelf with minor wear and tear.  I used to have the gold tub version as a kid.  I bought this about 10 years later.

I missed out on the limited re-release of the original RC10 back 20 or so years ago.

Building that first one way back then was so much fun.  I remember the goofy wire wound resistor speed control that used a servo.  My first controller was a 2 stick controller with a telescoping antenna and a frequency crystal.

Did a body for it too.

I f'ed up and sold my Losi XX4 with a custom painted body many years ago.

Always wanted a RC10L. I started off with a RC10 Team Car buggy. Best Christmas ever.

Very cool!  That is what I should have gotten way back.

A friend bought and built an RC-10 Champion car, with the gold chassis, around 93 or so, with the Stealth transmission, which at the time was Hot Shit.  I wound up buying it off him a year or two later, cause we didn't have tracks in the area, and running it in the yard was boring, and he needed a couple hundred bucks.  I just wanted to run it around parking lots, so I 'converted' it a bit to be more street friendly.  I broke a suspension bracket running into a curb, and tore it all apart to replace that, along with upgrading the shocks and returning it to dirt use, cause a track in the area had opened. I had even got it a new body shell, and airbrushed up a very nice 90s yellow and purple Van Halen style paint job on it.  ADHD got the better of me, and here we are like nearly 30 years later and it's still in a box, half assembled.

Fast forward and the city I'm in now has a fancy indoor dirt track 5 minutes from the house.  I keep meaning to take it to them and see what they'd charge me to reassemble it at the very least, maybe see about some modern upgrades for it as well so I could run the track there.  Heh.

(Oh shit!  I looked up the place near me, and they have indoor and outdoor off-road and road courses for 1/10 and 1/8 scale.  Definitely need to stop by there very soon and check it all out.)
