Gah. I was hoping they were the Lohas ones...

Yes, they are Tecnacrafts, but the new wheels from Lohas look really good.

Here are some pictures of my current RC10 project. I'm building it like the one I had as a kid, but with some upgrades that I couldn't afford back then.

That one without pack is pargu2000 right?
What You-G wing is that?

Yes, that is a pargu wing. The You-G wing is OP-31 for the Optima.Thanks

Lookin' real sharp! How's the fit with the body? On my Hot Trick, since I use the extension, the UM-34 body is a bit too short. Any wing theories? It would be a killer with a Dirt Burners wing, or even better: Mike has the drawings to the PN100 Titanium Wing. Thanks, the body fits okay, but I messe...

I wish I'd started collecting these in the late 80's or early 90's when they were under $100 a set. tecnas.JPG Nice set of wheels, are those for the optima?...

Thanks Emerson! I'm just wanting for a couple of parts to arrive and I hope to have it completed soon.

Thanks! I had the body done by Doug/squarehead paint. Rims and tires are the only things I'm missing for this project. I would love two piece gold centered Tecnacrafts, but I haven't been able to find any. I don't think I'm going to sell the outer gears because I have another Kyosho project that I'm...
