description  So my RC10 Worlds Car is almost complete, just got the shell to spray & fit the electrics. I brought this off ebay for Ģ23 inc postage, since then its been completely stripped & cleaned, I stripped off the anodising from u/side of the chassis & re-sprayed it satin black, re-built the gearbox & shocks & trimmed the rear bulkhead & wishbones a-la Brian Kinwald's original car. I also had to re-dye the parts that i'd trimmed or neated up with the scalpal where the original white was showing through..... which made a nice mess of my camping stove LOL - glad I didn't use the home hob!! I'm going to fit my brushless set-up into this & hopefully get out there & race this car - its been a long while since i've raced off road, so should be interesting!

Thanks guys, apparently the very last of the line World Cars were all-black from the factory, this one however, had the white parts, but they had been dyed, something which was popular BITD. I bent up my wing wire & fitted the gear cover the other evening.... its coming along slowly
