Electronics all done. Some minor tweaks to be done adjusting the ESC. Reedy Sonic 540 3M 13.5. Novak Edge 2S ESC. Savöx SC-1251MG servo. LRP HV Ultra LCG Modified 4000 mAh shorty pack. Futaba R204GF-E 2.4Ghz receiver in Novak NER3-FM housing Still have to do rear body posts. I have some Kyosho OTW 9...

A dry run, literally. I don't have much description because he has done so much to it that I can't keep up. The video is horrible, but the belt drive is really cool in person. No justice to it here.

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...

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

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.
