Painting Tips:

Driver : 

Your RC10 Classic comes with a clear 

polycarbonate driver figure.  You will need to prep 

the driver figure before you can paint it.  Wash 

the inside and outside thoroughly with warm 

water and liquid detergent.  Dry the driver figure 

using a clean, soft, lint-free cloth.  The driver 

figure can be painted from the inside or the 

outside, depending on what type of finish you 

would like.  If painted from the inside, the painted 

sections will appear glossy.  If painted on the 

outside, the painted sections will appear flat or 

matte finished.  Trim as shown and install inside 

the body using strapping tape.  After painting, 

cut the body and wing along the trim lines. 

NOTE: use ONLY paint that is recommended for 

use with (polycarbonate) plastics.  If you don’t, you 

can destroy the plastic body, driver figure, and 

wing!!!!.

Painting Tips:

Body and Wing: 

Your RC10 Classic comes with a clear polycarbonate 

body and wing. You will need to prep the body and wing 

before you can paint them.  Wash the inside thoroughly 

with warm water and liquid detergent. Dry the body and 

wing using a clean, soft, lint-free cloth.  Use high quality 

masking tape to make masks for the windows and install 

them on the inside of the body. (RC cars get painted from 

the inside).  Using high quality masking tape, apply tape 

to the inside of the body to create a design. Spray (either 

rattle can or airbrush R/C specific paint) the paint to the 

inside of the body (prefferably dark colors first, lighter 

colors last).  

NOTE: use ONLY paint that is recommended for use with 

(polycarbonate) plastics.  If you do not, you can

destroy the plastic body and wing!!!!).

After painting, cut the body and wing along the trim lines. 

Make sure to drill or use a body reamer to make the 

holes for the body mounts, wing mounts, and antenna!

Light Buckets:

Press the light bucket halves together.  You can use CA glue if you would like.

You can paint or dye the light buckets to any desired color.
