RC10 ReRelease - Extra Bling Build
I thought I'd post a build log of my current build. *It will be fully operational but probably won't see a track.
Its the 2013 re release of the legendary Gold Pan RC10. *As a kid I always wanted one but couldn't afford one, so when AE announced that they were re releasing it went top of the shopping list. http://i532.photobucket.com/albums/e...618_212546.jpg I have now found the time to actually start building it even tho I have had it since Xmas. In the meantime I found an excellent manufacturer of aftermarket bling for the RC10 classic DHawk racing who do a full set of alloy upgrade parts in the same anodised gold as the original pan. http://www.atomikrc.com/collections/...ated-rc10-gold Parts were duly ordered along with a set of alloy shock clamps and some rather tasty CNC machined alloy wheels. Anyways first few stages have been completed: http://i532.photobucket.com/albums/e...618_212524.jpg http://i532.photobucket.com/albums/e...618_212510.jpg http://i532.photobucket.com/albums/e...618_212455.jpg Can Anyone spot the deliberate mistake? |
Ball studs on caster blocks.
I'm not really convinced by all the gold cnc alloy bits. Prefer the original plastic tbh. Good if you are making a show car I guess? I've built mine to race in York 540 class and the oople series. |
I know what you mean... The ally parts do add more weight. This is more an exercise is making a smart looking model for the shelf.
I already have an rc10 graphite for racing. One thing I would suggest tho would be the alloy steering bits.... They are ball raced and do seem to give the steering a more direct feel with less slop. I have them fitted to my graphite and they make a noticeable difference. |
Bit more has been done :)

If anyone fancies them drop me a PM http://i532.photobucket.com/albums/e...622_204721.jpg http://i532.photobucket.com/albums/e...622_204727.jpg Steering Servo http://i532.photobucket.com/albums/e...622_205047.jpg Overkill? most likely but it looks right at home :) |
where did you get the steering cranks from? have the jconcepts on my worlds, but feel i need to upgrade the kit plastic ones on my classic. its taken a beating at this weekends oople series rc10 race.

or D-Hawk racing sell them direct via e-bay sometimes |
Any updates ? Is it finished
|
Not much more has been done as I threadlocked the ball studs into the c arms and snapped them trying to get them out.
A mate is currently sorting this out for me :) |
Ha ha I did the same but snapped 2 stainless screws in my MMS alloy gearbox and had to get the slot drilled out :thumbdown:
I was never really into the rc10 but there starting to grow on me and I'm getting very tempted. Are they worth it? |
Finally got the parts back from my mate who said "I'll get them done when I have 5 mins" back in June. So now building can continue.
While I was waiting I haven't been idle. I sold on the wheels in the photos as they were for the more modern 2.2" tyres and it detracted from the look I was trying to acheive. New 3 piece alloys have been sourced, pics to follow Bodyshell as been painted trimmed and stickered. http://i532.photobucket.com/albums/e...3541C78537.jpg http://i532.photobucket.com/albums/e...B50444F4C9.jpg http://s532.photobucket.com/user/Ess...g.html?filters[user]=78444088&filters[recent]=1&sort=1&o=5 http://i532.photobucket.com/albums/e...A4632021AA.jpg Some of the more eagle eyed among you will notice that its not a re-re shell, it's actually a genuine shell from the 80's Not sure that I am happy with it tho. I think maybe I will use re-re shell and go for box art with a bit of bling.... a candy or metallic orange perhaps, just to compliment the extra bling in the chassis. Does anyone know if there was ever a set of alloy suspension arms made for the 10 classic? |
Need to get this finished.... Just had notification my fighting buggy has been shipped :D
|
Almost there:

Still they look good.... just means I now need some worlds Turnbuckles Electrics need final fitting and I need a shorty Lipo so I can move the battery holder back and fit the servo Just need to now find some alloy knock offs and I'm done! |
This is now in the classifieds
