Glad to see the body went to good use!

Thats an interesting use of some rare parts! Nicely done!

Im old school and prefer fiberglass chassis and related parts but other than that I really like it.

I was told by FL that I got one of the last tubs they were ever going to do and that was about 5 yrs ago. The quality of my tub was complete junk compared to that beauty. I was so disappointed with the quality and appearance of it I never built it and sold it. I guess they just dont make em like the...

I heard on one of my heli sites that hobbico is employee owned for the most part so they stand to lose everything. Gotta feel for those workers.

Yeah that truck and article were great! That would be a cool RERE project!

Wow! Its super unfortunate that someone dyed all those parts at some point. If it was all white like original, it would be very sought after and quite valuable. I still would hesitate to run it because it still does have value and with the re-release of the RC10, why not buy a new one and start the ...

I know you dug up your old build thread and now are trying to sell it but wanted to let you know that black tranny is a regular old 6 gear that was dyed black, not a mip.

Very nice restoration job on a very unique model! Well Done!

Awesome build!

Can you give us some info on that Buds motor?

I really cant believe there isnt any competition for ebay yet. I have often said someone way smarter than me should start an auction site that charges $.99 to the seller and $.99 to the buyer no matter what the item no matter what the price.
