For the servo horn steering mod does it really make that much of a difference as it seems the horns of choice are only fractionally bigger? I understand the flipping of the steering rods to make the front steer more than the rear. Moving the gearbox horn to the outer hole would also add a lot more ...

Cool! I have not seen one of these in a very long time.

I have always loved Tamiya Clod Busters. It probably explains why I own so many of them.

I love this picture! The car truly does look like a "barn find".

I have so many restored, squeaky clean RC10s sitting on my shelves that I would love to find something like this and actually leave it in its "as found" condition.

The answer to the first part of your question is yes.

With regards to the second part of your question, ask yourself if you would make a runner out of a rare Edinger RC10.

Those colors look great together. Nicely done...

I think I was really lucky to find this, the seller on the east coast posted it on ebay during a time of day where most normal Americans would be asleep. It was a "buy it now" and it would have been way more expensive at auction. :D In my opinion you nearly stole this car for the price th...

Other than the chassis damage that can be mostly repaired, that is a great looking car. Congratulations!

Why can I never find deals like this on craigslist?

I am anxious to see how this build turns out. Please keep the updates coming.

Nice collection. I can just imagine the board room discussion on whether to slap the Marlboro sponsorship on these, or just leave it to the kid’s imagination. Thanks... I would have loved to have been in that board room meeting. All of the decals on the (very dusty) car are original. I always thoug...

I too enjoy the modern Creator sets. Their accuracy and detail in terms of scale are simply amazing. In my humble opinion, however, that is also a huge strike against them. It seems to me that Lego sets have lost a certain magic over the past two decades. Imagination is no longer required. Creativit...

Speaking of green ball cups, do all of Associated's new "white" ball cups have a greenish hue to them, or was that just on the early batches?

There are no turns in drag racing, so it really does not matter too much what you use. Any steering input you make during a race should be absolutely minimal. EDIT: If you are interested in how 1:1 scale drag racers setup their cars, then take a look at this: https://www.onallcylinders.com/2015/01/1...

For comparison (and to stimulate this discussion further), what would an original (not a re-release) NIB Worlds car be worth?
