Default RC10 team car

Hi guys, thought I'd post up pics and progress through the refresh build of my team car I have recently picked up. Plan is to rebuild and run at a few meets this year hopefully first time out at the iconic meet at RHR on the 10th of Mayand then eventually shelf I think.. Not to serious but hopefully you agreed it's being done tastefully.

Few pictures of what I started with;









I have some build progress I will post later once pics have uploaded..

Thanks
Matt

Parts in cleaner;





Beginning the rebuild..



J Concepts front tower;


Detail of the clean..


J Concepts bell cranks in black and RPM balls;



Here's a bit more build progress, nearly caught up to real time;







I ordered the wrong transmission brace, I have swapped this from the J Concepts part to a fibre lyte version to match my battery brace.







Wing trimmed and stickered up;


hoping to get it a little further on this week in terms of radio install and having the shell trimmed up and fitted.

Matt

I've done a little more so the car is pretty much track ready I think..

Full radio install;
HobbyWing Xerun v3.1 esc
HobbyWing Xerun v10 10.5 motor
KO 21007 reciever
Savox servo..

I'm using an intellect shorty lipo that I use in my 2wd competition car.





Body shell cut, stickered up and fitted;


It's now just about ready to run at RHR at the iconicRC meet on Sunday hopefully

Sweet. What is keeping the shorty pack from sliding to the rear? Will you add a foam spacer block or so?

Thanks Matt.

The battery brace sits uptight between the bulkhead and Esc wires. But yes I have been looking for some black foam to make a locating block...

Couple more changes..

Factory blue turnbuckles all round;


Don't worry, I cleaned up the dirt from the test run. I fitted factory blue stub axles too.

Rebuilt and Retro fitted a pair of MIP CVDs from my old B3;


And now it's ready to run!;




I used the car today at the iconic RC meeting at RHR on the astro track, and it performed great, I'll post some actions shots once I've got them..

What to do next?!....
