Front 3/4 view of the RC10 4WD car sitting outside by a tree, the ground is a mix of dirt and grass. It is painted Metallic Purple with Translucent Yellow windows, and decals applied to look like the 'box art' car. Paint is Tamiya Sprays.

Rear 3/4 view of the 4WD

Side view, on my workbench to show indoor artificial lighting.

Family Photo at the end with the OG RC10 Championship Car from the early 90s, the new 4WD and the RB10. The OG is painted yellow with purple 'van halen' style stripes. The RB10 is in a Red, Black, & white scheme from the factory. The 4WD is Purple with translucent yellow windows, and decals applied to look like the 'box art' car.

RC10 4WD Finished! Paints were Tamiya Sprays, Metallic Purple & Translucent Yellow, selected as a nod to my old car.
Now to get these guys to the local track!

RC10 4WD built, wheels on, electrics temporarily mounted, motor in and meshed. Just needs final connections soldered, and some suspension tweaks, and will be ready for test runs!

Made more progress today with my RC10 4WD! Tomorrow evening will solder connections, properly mount the rec and esc, and get her ready for maiden test runs this weekend! (And prep body shell for paint!)

Made a lot of progress on the RC10 4WD build today! Got the front assembled & installed, same with the rear, & have the belt installed and adjusted. Next up is rear arms, a ton of turnbuckles to build & adjust, & then on to the shocks.

car disassembled in a box, where it has lived for the past 25 years

Spent some time tracking down original screws, bolts, nuts, etc to get my old RC10 Championship Gold Pan car put back together! It's been living in a box disassembled for 25ish years! Felt great to see it running again!
