RC10CC Finally Finished!

[@rocpile]

Excellent work, very creative!

[@AddamsPlayground]

Thanks! It turned out looking better than I expected. I was a bit nervous it was going to look wonky but it is really cool. I do like the frosted one as well but the split one is like two cars in one!

[@rcuintheshed6981]

Hey Addam that half half body looks incredible sorry I haven't commented in a while been off grid for a few weeks been keeping up I'd download while at the hardware store and watch it later at the cabin but couldn't comment back to the reality of work now hope you're well mate 👊

[@AddamsPlayground]

Thanks Mark! It tuned out super cool and give me two cars in one to display! No worries, I know you have been super busy with work and with the cabin. Glad you enjoyed the paint job and don't work yourself to pieces!! Take care and have a good week!

[@CactusCrawlersRC]

That second body is awesome Addam! It reminds me of the cover of an old Hayne's manual! Yes please don't ever run it, it's like a trophy!

[@AddamsPlayground]

Thanks! I am glad you liked it!! It does have that cool dissected look of those manuals! I have no plans of running it. If anything it will get encased!

[@RCBirds]

All in all not an easy build. I like the half painted body.

[@AddamsPlayground]

It is a different one to build, far from a Tamiya kit! Plus with this one the plastics a re very grippy on the screws some lubrication is needed to get them threaded in easily. It turned out looking pretty cool with both bodies but the half and half one is definitely my favorite! I am glad you liked it too!

[@RCHobbyShed]

Looks awesome, Addam! Great idea with the two faced body too. Nicely done! 👍

[@AddamsPlayground]

Thanks Mick! I am glad you liked it! I was a bit nervous the split thing was going to be kind of a flop but it turned out really cool! It also gives me multiple ways to display it as well!

[@andersona9]

Wow! The half clear/half painted body looks great!! Nice touch Addam!!

[@AddamsPlayground]

Thank you, I am glad you liked it!! I am really glad I got the second body to do the split paint on it as I like that one a lot. It also give me the option to display it two or three ways now which is cool! If I was only going to do one it would have been just the frosted one to play it safe.

[@AdventureTimeRC]

That turned out really nice

[@AddamsPlayground]

Thanks Brent! I really like the split version a lot, it give me two cars to display in one!

[@AdventureTimeRC]

@AddamsPlayground the split is my favorite to you did fantastic

[@MadBeeRC]

Stunning Addam! Wow fantastic idea! Show room fantastic love that double design! Excellent job mate! PS love the clear body too! But that half & half is the complete point of this model to show case this classic! You nailed that!

[@AddamsPlayground]

Thank you James! I am glad you liked them. I am with you totally, the frosted on is still very cool but the half and half one is just a good bit cooler and unique! It makes it a great display piece and conversation starter for sure!!

[@jamespeek3061]

Man I didn't really like the cc until I saw yours. Killer job on the half and half. I'm glad my wish came true on the gold pan. I have my 40th pre ordered. I hope you build yours. We don't live forever my friend!!!

[@AddamsPlayground]

Thank you very much! It does change the look of it a lot and the cut-away look fits is very well! I was surprised when the did another gold pan but I am glad I was able to get one pre-ordered as well. I may build mine but I doubt it will be right away. Building this scratched that itch of building one from a kit so there is no urgency in building the anniversary one. IU am sure I won't be able to leave it on the shelf forever!

[@JoevsRc]

That 50/50 looks incredible!

[@AddamsPlayground]

Thanks Joe! I do like the frosted but the split one stole the show and is my favorite for sure. Plus it is like having two cars to display now, just have to flip it around occasionally!!

[@TonyGardnerRC]

Both the bodies look great, but I love the half and half split. I think that's the best CC that I have seen so far!

[@AddamsPlayground]

Thank you! It turned out pretty cool and I am glad you liked it too! The frosted one looks neat but the split one gives me two sides to display! Clear one day and original the next!

[@TonyGardnerRC]

@@AddamsPlayground I have the B6.4CC to build one day, gives me ideas for that. Maybe one day I'll get the RC10CC to display next to it.

[@AddamsPlayground]

@@TonyGardnerRC I kind of thought it would be neat to get the B6 one and have it as well. Keith almost got me ordering one after his video! LOL! I don't have any connection to it or the racing side of things so thankfully no emotional draw to it!

[@TonyGardnerRC]

@@AddamsPlayground I'm not a big fan of the modern cab forward buggies, the old style Optima Mid is much more my thing. But the B6.4CC is just very cool, and as an engineer I'm attracted to great looking and well engineered things 😂

[@n22pdf]

Wow what a great idea Addam on the body looks just like you would see in an RC shop for a show car.. awesome work dude very imaginative 😊❤ Pete 👍

[@AddamsPlayground]

Thanks! I thought it was a cool Idea but was worried it might be a flop so I had to do the frosted one first in case it failed! Now the frosted one is just hanging out on the shelf behind it. It was fun t do both and I learned stuff from it so it worked out good!

[@Geo_art_RC]

Love the half and half look! That's perfect for display purposes. Well done!

The two face Body looks fantastic. Great Idea and you did it great.

[@AddamsPlayground]

Thanks, I was so torn to leave it clear or paint it so went with both! I was a little worried it may look goofy but I really like it on there and I am glad you liked it too!

[@starwarsnerd9250]

You crack me up. Don’t worry about the runs! I fixed it and put the decals over it! Can’t argue with that. 😂

[@AddamsPlayground]

Thus one was too nice to go out and bag it around. The decals are the perfect coverups to many painting crimes!!!

[@arthurkjr]

I love the half yellow, half clear!

[@AddamsPlayground]

Thanks! I was nervous it was going to be kind of a flop but it turned out pretty cool! I am glad you enjoyed it.

Absolutely fantastic. Love the split version. 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

[@AddamsPlayground]

Thanks Trey, it turned out pretty cool and I am glad you liked it too! The frosted one is cool and it may end up on there from time to time but the split version makes me happy and it is like a two for one special!!

[@chef11chef11]

The second body looks great 👍

[@AddamsPlayground]

Both of them turned out well. The 50/50 body is my favorite but the frosted on will go one there from time to time as well. I am glad you enjoyed it.

[@AddamsPlayground]

Thanks Mark, it turned out pretty cool! I do like the frosted one but the split one is a little cooler and I get to display two different looks just by rotating the car!

[@HaydadRC]

Both bodies came out beautiful but that split shell is awesomely unique! Great job!👍😊

[@AddamsPlayground]

Thanks Jeremy! I do like the frosted body but the split one is just a lot more interesting and fun to look at. I am really glad I got the second body to do the split paint on it as I like that one a lot, if I was just doing the one body it would have been the frosted to play it safe.

[@kashmurray1199]

The half and half is really cool.

[@AddamsPlayground]

Thanks! I am glad you liked it and I am very happy with it. I can rotate it and have two displays out of one car!

[@poorboysrc]

Great paint ideas, Addam. I especially liked the "Two-Face" idea. First time I've ever seen that and I think you nailed it dude. Great job!

[@AddamsPlayground]

Thanks Fil! I was torn between the two. I really wanted to try the split look but was worried about failure or it looking too odd. It turned out really neat and it is not very often you get two different cars to display with one body on it! Clear one day and classic the next!

[@rolandlabriejr690]

That split body design was perfect for that kit it’s the nicest version I’ve seen so far 6:10 can’t wait to get my anniversary kit hopefully we get them by the end of June

[@AddamsPlayground]

Thank you! I thought it would turn out looking cool but wanted the frosted one to fall back on just in case! It is neat to be able to display either side of it depending on which version I feel like admiring! I have my anniversary kit on order as well. Still on the fence if I will build it or not. I am sure it will be a decision made once it is in my hands!

@@donfilippo6620 yeah they went quick. I am not sure but it appears they are limited to 10,000 kits so they went very fast.

[@lloosah]

I LOVE the half & half. What a unique idea, well done. Certainly a consideration to do with mine but I think I'd like two bodies too so I'd have an 'original' clear body as well. Decisions decisions...! Is the yellow PS19 Camel Yellow. Thanks for the video 🙂

[@AddamsPlayground]

Thank you! I really liked the way it turned out! I am happy with the frosted one as well but I prefer the split one. I am very glad they did make bodies and decals for them as it was next to impossible for me to decided which style to do if I were limited to only the one! The color is the PS19 and I backed it in white and then black, you probably don't have to but I wanted both the true color to show and there not be any issues with the body rubbing on the chassis.

[@flyingfortressrc1794]

Addam, That half and half body is one of the coolest ideas I've seen on an RC body. Very impressive Bud I'm just so glad that RC-10's are making a comeback. Hopefully parts make the same comeback. Lol

[@AddamsPlayground]

Thanks! It turned out looking really cool! I was pleasantly surprised on how well the cut-away look works with it. I do like the look of the frosted body as well but this one is more fun and it is like having two cars in one! I am not sure they will be releasing any parts but then again I doubted they were going to re-re the gold pan again and I was wrong there. It would be super cool for them to make a run of parts as the original ones are getting too pricey to afford if something goes wrong!

[@BigDumbMeRC]

Man that half body really looks amazing. As others have said it really nails that haynes manual vib

[@AddamsPlayground]

Thanks, I am glad you like it. I wasn't sure how it was going to turn out so the frosted one was the fallback plan! It is cool as I can display either side depending on which I want to see. It does kind of have the cutaway Haynes manual vibe to it!!

[@waynemattera8552]

Great idea!!

[@AddamsPlayground]

Thanks! It turned out looking much better than I expected. The cut-away look is really neat and it gives me two options to display it as well!

[@rcinhand9671]

Great idea with the split body! It looks cooler than I thought it would. I think the clear body fits the CC better and a lot of people will do that, but the split makes it more unique.

[@AddamsPlayground]

Yeah, I was a little worried about it looking odd or not coming out right so I went safe and did the frosted one just in case! The split version is way more interesting to look at. I do like the frosted one too but the split is just a lot cooler looking to me! I am glad you liked it too!

[@yodadarksideGreenHawksRC]

Nothing worse than those 'Globs' mate..... I've had them occasionally as you get towards the end of the rattle can, drives me mad!!! Globs..... another one to add to the dictionary of playground phrases! 😂 Mate, you are a genius- That split divide one is a piece of awesome creativeness, it works so well.... LOVE IT! When it comes to shelf queen's, you really can't get much better than that! Great work fella. 🙏 👍 👍 👍

[@AddamsPlayground]

Yeah the the pearl is pretty particular on how aggressive you can move the can around, especially as it it gets less in the can! The frosted one is cool and I do like it but the split version cam out much cooler! The cut-away look works very well with it. Others have suggested to put the white parts and gold shocks on the painted side which would look really cool is more than I want to invest into it! If the parts were not so silly expensive then maybe but that would quickly become a very expensive shelf queen!! Take care mate!

I think if planned better buying one CC and one of the new re-re kits and making two of them from the kits and selling one to make back at least half of your investment would work out.

I did get a pre-order in from Associated, it was partially an impulse buy but since it is a limited run of them I felt like it was going to be a lot of regret if I did not. Yes, you guys do get a significant price increase on a lot of stuff! Not as bad as Australia but still much more expensive a lot of the times!

Last What's the difference between the CC version and the original one I absolutely love the split one that looks like it was extremely hard to do I think we need more detail of how you did it It looks so professional

[@AddamsPlayground]

The only real difference is the clear plastics and the silver aluminum instead of the gold anodized parts. The split body turned out really cool and it was not really any more difficult then a normal body to paint. Just a few minutes more to measure and tape off the centerline so it was straight down the middle. I just put a bunch of 3inch painters tape on the unpainted side and did the other side like any other paint job. I am glad you enjoyed the result!

Looks great being half & half. I was thinking of doing PS pearl clear but I think I’m just going to leave it completely unpainted with just decals. What yellow did you use?

[@AddamsPlayground]

Thanks Martin! It turned out pretty cool. I do like the frosted look of the other but the split version is my favorite. Leaving it completely clear will look good. There is difference in the frosted and the clear but not a tremendous amount. I used the PS-19 Camel yellow, backed with white and then backed with black. On the wing I used just the camel yellow, getting into the tight part of the wing sides makes it a little sketchy backing it with anything. Both look the same in the end. I just wanted the black interior for the split version and did not want to back it in black alone as I was worried about darkening the yellow on the body so white went on first.

Hey Addam. Could you paint me one? Exact same second body. Also what where can i get one of those rotating stands?

[@AddamsPlayground]

It turned out pretty cool, it really was not any harder than a normal paint job just getting the center line nice and straight was the trickiest part. I have a whole pile of bodies here that need painting, if I get caught up on them I will let you know LOL! I got the rotating stand on Amazon, here is my link to it amzn.to/3yrRhkh

[@faraazshakeel]

@@AddamsPlayground hey Addam, ive never painted a body in my life lol. And i dont know how to. I usually buy bodies on ebay. Yes please let me know when youre painting the next one. Amazing paint job really. Also thank you for sharing the display stand link.

Are you going to get the new gold pan re-release are you going to get the new release of the gold pan even though there's less than a thousand of them? Are you going to get the optima pro are you going to get the laser dirt cross are you going to get the re-release of the original 2011 Avante that's based after the first avante? How do you get to get the release of the original top Force? How you going to get the re-release of the fast attack vehicle? I wish I could afford all of them.

[@AddamsPlayground]

I did pre-order the re-re gold pan car. There are going to be more than 1000 made, I think they are making more like 10000 from 0001-9999 serial numbers. I am not sure of the Optima pro, I have the Turbo Optima already so not too concerned about getting that one. The Lazer SB I will probably try and get, depending on the price. The Avante I doubt I get, I think they are over priced and I am not too concerned about getting one. The Top Force is cheap I will probably get one. The FAV I plan on getting.

[@bradkalman2353]

@@AddamsPlayground there are decent amount of differences between optima pro over the turbo.

[@AddamsPlayground]

@@bradkalman2353 I know, just not sure at the moment. So much coming out and not enough money to get it all so I am trying to figure out what is bought and what is not.
