That's probably what my intestines look like.

That is awesome! You definitely have an early RC10 there. The newer RC cars may handle better at the race track, but there is something infinitely more cool about the old school cars. You and your son are going to have a lot of fun. :) If you are willing, please post some pictures of the other item...

I would say the chassis was home made. it looks like a "butterfly" chassis with a built in bumper. Wheels could be home made for sure. Most of the other parts are CRP or RCH. Here's my thread with some of my projects and a lot of info- http://www.rc10talk.com/viewtopic.php?f=32&t=32765

you've got the early Kyosho 1/8 scale rear shocks on there. I'd set those aside for another project. They are getting hard to find!

how's the condition of the bottom of the chassis?

get ready for 20 messages from people trying to buy it...

It's a Sand Scorcher or similar buggy, but built with mostly aftermarket parts.

Happy birthday buddy!

Happy birthday! I hope you had a good one!

I'll stick to my slow heavy 60's cars

Thanks guys! I've just been hanging out with this party animal all day-

Happy Birthday buddy! I forgot we had the same bday. Have a good one!

I couldn't justify spending that much on a body, just to have to sand the hell out of it. Most of the other parts say they have a polished finish but the pics still show a pretty decent texture. Maybe a high build primer and little sanding would hide most of it on the smaller parts. The wheel insert...

What do you mean by "regular"? What tires/wheels are you trying to fit? Pics might help here.

I'm sold! I'll snag a couple of those for sure! Can't wait to hear release date and cost! (well, maybe I don't want to hear the cost )

Geez Rod, that's terrible! So glad your family and pets are ok though!!

I've actually got a "Scorptima" about half built. Need to cut the final round of metal parts out and do the final assembly.
