Fox was your first car, mine was Sand Scorcher and cool you built kit with you dad. I had to wait until I was at work to buy it and built it on my own. Our knowledge was less in the early days as there was no internet help, so we had to work all out. The chassis looks good not too scratched up, apart from where you expect it to be. Looking forward to updates and then a run.
Great ramble, Nick! And of course what a cool buggy you got! I'll definitely be looking out for your updates, see what you do with it, especially see that nice flame paint job there, it's a nice design! I had never actually heard of the RC10 back in the day, so I only just got familiar with it a few years ago. I am lucky enough my neighbour has one, and I drove it once, it was nice. I intend to get me one at some point, we'll see when... For now, I'll watch yours, and all the clear ones we'll start seeing on videos soon, ha ha...
We are all going to be sick of the clear ones! That car is really going to be the 2024 equivalent of that 45th anniversary 934 Porsche that was just everywhere.
Team associated is selling the original RC10 gold pan body if you want a factory body shell. Unfortunately no decals included. Also white ball ends for the gold pan RC10 in stock at team associated. Just a heads up..
I’ve always wanted an rc10 gold pan. I had a chassis when I was a kid but never got the rest of the pieces to put one together. Someday I’ll get one.. that futaba system is a great radio setup, although I’d use an esc vs a mechanical speed control.. way cool buddy
Nice Rc10! There is a lot of history on that buggy. Depending on what Gold Pan you have will reflect the price you paid. With a box and instructions, you probably paid a premium. Try and keep everything together including those bag of parts. They could have had to find original parts.
I’ve already stripped it apart. It’s an A stamped dark gold Cadillac chassis. The box is 1986 Cadillac so I’m assuming that box and chassis have always been together. It’s in pretty good shape. It’s missing some screws/bolts. God knows where I’ll find those here in Japan
