HI!... Well I picked this RC 10 DS up awhile ago off ebay. The previous owner did some mods too it like installing the long front "A" arms and stock RC10 rear arms and shock tower on it. He gave me all the other RC10 DS parts for it minus the wheels/tires.

HI!... So I stripped the chassis down to bare and then glass beaded it getting it ready for gloss black powder coating.

HI!... Got the rear shock tower and the front/rear "A" Arms. These are NIP and were given to me with the car when I bought it.

Well got the car torn apart tonight. Found I need to get some proper length hinge pins. Might make some at work. Ordered a gear cover, front wheels and the MSC servo mounts. Also bought a set of original RC10 DS Mustang decals.

Well some parts came in for the RC10 DS today. I still need to get a Novak ESC and bring the chassis in for powder coating.

HI!... So going stir crazy here not being able to do much because of my hand. So I said F#*k it and decided to work on the RC10 DS. I got the "C" stamp chassis back from the powder coaters. Looks great. :woohoo: This is as far as I have got. Stealth trans has all new internals. Whole car has full ball bearings. Still need to rebuild the shocks and add electronics to it.

HI!... Well I got some more work done on the RC10 DS this afternoon. Pretty much got it together. It's got all NIP electronics in it. The motor is almost new also. Only used 4-5 times. It's got 0.56 shocks on it but they are black plastic? I'm going to order two hard anodized 0.56 shock kits from AE in a bit to replace them. I've been on the search for a long time now for the proper chrome wheels but to no avail. So I might just skillfully paint these one's chrome with the gold wheel inserts. I still need to find the MSC resistor mount. I have all NIP MSC parts. Just need the black metal mount. I'll probably work on the body tomorrow. It's new but the previous owner painted it ALL black instead of the bottom section that needs to be green. I might try to get some green decals made up to fix that. I have new Mustang decals for it so I will have to peel off the one's the original owner applied. They were applied very poorly and not in the correct areas.

be real careful with the little bitty mustang decal that goes on the front. I went through two decal sheets because that one was old and small and wanted to separate.

It's looking good, I really like those DSs.

HI!... I still have to fit a few more decals to the body and fix the rear spoiler. Previous owner cut it out wrong and had it mounted backwards. :roll:

HI!... Got some more work don on the DS the other day. Installed some nice wheels and finished off applying the decals. I still have to make a rear spoiler out of some left over lexan I have. The original was butchered by the previous owner.
