Spent some time tracking down original screws, bolts, nuts, etc to get my old RC10 Championship Gold Pan car put back together! It's been living in a box disassembled for 25ish years! Felt great to see it running again!

Time to play TOYS! I just picked up this R/C car (RC10B7D). I love the fact that it's a kit that requires assembly and tuning. FUN!

Nearly Complete! Body is fitted. I have some adjustable offset wheels coming to fill out those back fender wells better. Next, applying the 4,652 decals! Tomorrow though, will be it's maiden runs! RB10 will go along as well, cause Buggies are fun! #tamiya #teamassociated #tt02r #rb10 #rccars

Always wanted a 4WD RC10, but they didn't exist. Until now, in a weird Alternate Timeline way! Excited to build & compare to my old 93ish Championship Gold Pan. I'm going to put modern motor and ESC in it, so it will also get compared to the RB10. #rb10 #rccar #teamassociated #RC10 #radiocontrol

Made more progress today with my RC10 4WD! Tomorrow evening will solder connections, properly mount the rec and esc, and get her ready for maiden test runs this weekend! (And prep body shell for paint!)

RC10 4WD built, wheels on, electrics temporarily mounted, motor in and meshed. Just needs final connections soldered, and some suspension tweaks, and will be ready for test runs!

Just a week & a half till the Race series starts up! Getting some maintenance done on the RB10. JConcepts Ellipse Tires to mount & 2 leaky shocks (1 front & 1 rear, of course!) so going to rebuild them all. Then get to the track this week to get some practice laps in. #teamassociated #RB10 #RCCar

The RB10 sitting on a stand, wheels off, front shocks off and disassembled. Behind it is a stack of tires and wheels, shock fluid, tire glue, various tools, and another RC car sitting in the background.

Rear shock picked up a lot of grunge, and I'm not talking about rock music from Seattle in the '90s!

All back together, with shocks dry on the outside, new tires mounted, and the car all shiny and clean, ready for practice laps!

Made a lot of progress on the RC10 4WD build today! Got the front assembled & installed, same with the rear, & have the belt installed and adjusted. Next up is rear arms, a ton of turnbuckles to build & adjust, & then on to the shocks.
