It wasn't planned.. It just turned out this way..

Raced against this exact car in the 80's...was lucky enough to score it from local original owner for a resto

Thanks. Just finished this up as well. Printed this in 18 different pieces and then put them all together. I know what you mean. I've only had mine (I bought a 2nd one now lol) for 3 weeks and I honestly have no idea how I got along without them

Paint scheme influenced by the original RC10 Championship Edition manual. This Mirage SS body from oldrc.com is soo distorted... I remember reading about a smashed body that was used to make a plug for repro bodies... I’m starting to think this is the one. Oh well! Need some retouches in stripe line...

Well I suppose it's done!.. It's been a blast and really stretching my limits. That was fun!
Only thing left is to drive it... with COVID-19 all indoor tracks are closed and we have a foot of snow outside

Thanks for all the support in this build guys. You rock!

This project started off life as a parts car purchased off of the bay that was in pretty terrible shape when I took delivery. Did not expect this to lead me down the path of doing a take on Mark Pavidis’s car and a mistake during painting almost derailed it but pretty happy where it ended up. Here i...

Just coming back to post final photo and say Thanks. Full hobby grade now, 3 wire servo with tamiya esc and 3ch radio system. Kept the standard RS540 but upgraded all the bushes to tamiya 1050 bearings and also added the Hornet wheels and tyres. Very happy to see it running after 30+ years. IMG_0246...

Electronics removed.. Airtronics 94631 servos, rx and a RC10 MSC?

Thank you guys. I really appreciate it!

Though I flirt with the Kyosho enthusiasts out there.

Well got it out for a test run. It is a beast and a half. The only thing I don't like is the fact that I am use to sensored setups in all my other trucks so its a bit "loose" feeling off the line. So I went ahead and ordered a brand new Castle xlx2 & 800kv sensored setup and some Q8s c...

Ok it looks as though I measured a couple chains a while back and then pointed to this SDP-si page to source the chain in bulk one meter of chain for $20, but iirc there is a minimum price and shipping may be high as well. Its a good place for bulk... 3.75mm and .8 diameter wire https://shop.sdp-si....

First print came out great! I had some troubles with the first layer, as i didnt remember to raise up the nozzle temp when i changed the filament from clear to red, but i managed to save it during the print. The quality is draft, which is okay for this kind of proto: https://hitecmods.kuvat.fi/kuvat...

Thanks guys I though I toasted the trans today... my son was driving it in the snow and it was slipping a lot.... long story short I never glued the tires and they were slipping on the tires!!! Thank goodness! I took the whole transmission off the car and was getting ready to take it apart when I th...
