RC200 Restoration

[assocista]

Hello I am restoring 2 kind of RC200 now.
One is RC200 Marrot Spec and the other one is Gear Diff spec as following attached.
Each parts are very tough to find out now. Especially RC200's radio plate which is asymmetry is very rare.
So I arranged it from RC300's one (Photo 1). Just re-shape by hand- cutting !(Photo 2)
It's necessary to complete it more days

Hey nice works my friend, sure its a really hard to find item

would be interesting to see optional radio plates design for rc 200 as well, if there exist any

[assocista]

Hi Simon,Thanks a lot for your comment
I saw the option from 3rd party before. It was made by Aluminium and the same shape.
Maybe It was common parts of RC100. Quite rare.

So making one in aluminium for a different look would be acceptable also and a good way to complete a RC200 restauration if you miss the original radio plate The rc300 white radio plate is becoming rare as well...
You mentioned a rc200 Marrot specs that's nice

We sometime have to make a single piece for the restoration. It's almost like 1:1 scale

I just update it a little bit with Motor & Front Bumper.
Front Bumper is taken over from 70's product and adjust a shape and position.

Wooow!! Awesome job I like the front bumper, it looks fast! Nice K&B car engine with a late version heatsink. It is going to be another great RC200.

Hi OCA1, Many thanks for your compliment
The bumper & Radio plate are quite important items for such simple pan car.
I am sure to post the both of RC200's again after finishing restoration
also looking forward to seeing your RC100/200 as well

Here is the custom tank,Which call " Hi-Zippo Metal Tank"
I made it last weekend by hand-craft working.
As I do not have the basic metal case of Hi-Johnson, I just arrange it from Zippo oil case. It's 133ml and a little bit bigger compared with Hi-Johnson actually.
so I cut it in the center so that It can adjust to the actual one.
One RC200 is almost 80% completed with such tank

The following photo is before assembling. The bronze jointer is attached inside of tank.

and after polished, It's mounted on the radio tray.

Looking not so bad !!
