Yes, for an early kit that seems correct.

CVD's have been assembled. These are the early version with smooth round bell bottom. I was going to use Shiny bones, but since they list B3 (1997) I feel they are too new for my build.

Thank you! It was fun putting it together and its one of my favorite buggies in the collection. I love the box art livery. I'm trying to get a hold of a Novak servo to complete a full Novak suite of electronics, but they are so expensive! Thanks for pointing out the front tower. Funny thing is is t...

Looking good 8) Thanks Mike. The build is coming along faster than expected. Have a similar project that needs the final touch, so this was inspiring. Very fine build and exquisite details! Thank you. Looking back the technology and quality of these parts is just as cool today as it was in the earl...

Initially I had 4 aluminum crews for the Stealth, but it turned out a few had some heads that must have been abused. I used 4 steel ones because I forgot that I had ordered a bag of Tecnacraft aluminum 4-40x1" screws off eBay last week. I then realized that I forgot to cut the motor plate, so I...

I've been going back and forth on which parts to use. I'll probably post a shock parts pile by this weekend. HG clear bodies Paragon jump jets Mip blue orings Progressive suspension reservoir shock caps No oil cause it would all leak out anyway :mrgreen: :lol: That's a big "no". :) I did ...

8) Fantastic, love me some CC Worlds builds. Keep it coming :D It's coming along nicely. I am fixing to start on the shocks. I've been going back and forth on which parts to use. I'll probably post a shock parts pile by this weekend. That car looks great with many high-end race parts. I can’t wait ...

I decided to build the tranny today. Lots of bags were opened up. Low and behold I didn't have the Hydra thrust bearing bag in the pile. Fortunately I had a few spares in my hydra stash bag. Everything went together nicely, and I only had to fight with one of the threaded inserts to allow the 2-56 s...

I decided to do a couple of things this morning. RPM 7089 translucent center link, 7338 translucent white rod ends, and vintage (not the newer retro) 1990 Lunsford Ti turnbuckles. I was careful not to mar the rod ends. Lengths were measured using my Ultra mold buggy. CC-RPM-Worlds7 (Large).jpg CC-RP...

How about it’s only a box of spares if it ain’t built. Only reason I buy anything nib is to build it myself otherwise what’s the point That's the great thing about this hobby. Some collect sealed kits, some have open box but unbuilt, some build them, some flip them. I suppose the point is whatever ...

I'd wager that was the $500 (or less) kit that was in San Gabriel. I offered to buy it two weeks ago but he refused to ship.

Today was shock tower day. Opening the bags was somewhat stressful since I had never seen the rear tower in the wild. I drilled two upper holes for the rear tower to mount properly to the RPM rear bulkhead. The front bolted up as expected. I'll most likely use 3/4 shcs for the upper & lower shoc...

Well, it's tranny Tuesday. :D I have the parts sorted and will start opening everything up if my ocd can lay low for a while. I won't be using the Thorp Stealth slipper top shaft, but I will set it to the side in case I ever decide to swap out the Hydra. It appears that particular 3101 Hydra kit is ...

The CC RPM Worlds was based on the '91 Worlds Stealth buggy that AE developed for the loamy Freedom Hill Park track in Detroit that was hosting the 1991 IFMAR Off-Road Worlds. RPM developed the '91 Worlds front end kit for AE team drivers that weren't running a Stealth buggy. It took roughly 18 mont...

It may pop back up for $2999 in a few weeks.
