Got my old gold pan RC10 from my youth back on the road - drives so smoothly. Love it.

It'd been in storage with my parents back in California for the best part of 20 years, and I brought it back over to London last year. It's been great to drive it at EPR on practice days, and I aim to actually race it soon...
I remember spending so much time planning and prepping the Parma "Eagle" body to accomplish the flamed paintjob when I was back in high school. I think one of my mom's aluminium baking sheets might have met its demise to become that wing too... But hey, I still think it looks pretty cool.
I've re-kitted out all of the electics with modern gear (won't really miss that old Futaba mc112b speedo with the blown reverse!), and have been experimenting with ways to get modern 2.2 inch rims mounted. Fronts should be easy, but the rears are a bit trickier... B2 rims and a little work with a hobby knife seem to work fine though. All good...
I run it almost every weekend, so it's deffo no shelf queen!
Anyone else still running old RC10s?
