RC10 Runner

Got this off Steve (Scollins), he did a super job restoring this as a runner. The body is probably a re-rel 6160... typical Steve quality.. cool... but I am going to run it. Its sports a Stealth transmission with full ball bearings. Fitted a 23T Kawada motor to check its speed before I bolt in something hotter. Opted a LRP self programming ESC for no brainer operation. I did a bit of work on the shocks. It was original painted gun metal (fits the yellow chassis best), but I opted to remove the paint , and what was left of the anodize on the shock bodies. Did some work to stop a leak on both front shocks . Also put a final car wax treatment to add a final barrier to the bare aluminium bodies , hope it doesn't oxidize. I fitted some used tires for car park/ lawn action. Too bad after charging up 2 packs, it decided to rain... darn.... maybe next week.

I am very pleased with this as it fits nicely into my line of 2wd Vintage runners.
