Wow 2 years, Looking forward to this

Just so you know RPM still have the motor covers but you can't order them on line apparently you have to email them and pay by money order or something like that. Some sort of tax fiddle I think but a few people have had them recently I think there like $10 each.

After all the excitement I forgot to remove the gear cover to see if there was a spur gear and slipper assembly.

So I just removed the cover. To my surprise its brand spanking

Forgot to mention.

Im after the 2 nylon nuts for the servo saver and arm. I have got a new white plastic servo saver kit but no nuts are in there. Its just the standard servo kit that comes as standard in the kit.

If anyone has 2 they would sell or know the part number that would be great.

Thank you.

Default RC10 Graphite.

Ok,

Last night I stripped and washed all parts. I have come to a decision on the RC10 and what to go for.

I will be fitting a Black Motor Plate rather than the GOLD.
I will be fitting Black graphite Front and Rear towers.

I was considering the fibre glass but want to keep it black and white and the graphite are a option. They are just plain not carbon pattern.

I am now posting pictures of it so far.........
