This is my first American car. I picked this off a club trade with my longtime trading partner Gary (Onetenth). He is a top guy. Comes with Topcad oil reservoir shocks and also the original 'dirty' gold shocks & fully ball bearing-ed. Originally intended to be a runner... but beneath all that dust and mud is actually very nice chassis... . Even the gearbox innards look mint. Hard to bring myself to run it. So far the battery holder has been butchered , one rear 3 piece rim is cracked. If you have some unloved RC10 parts lying around , i would gladly trade / or buy some. Got new Protech body coming ... can't wait to wrech it....More updates later.

Gold ! Need to look for a replacement

@Davecat... You are right... associated's ideas to making a car is very different from Tamiya's.... very desirable
