Tested out an HPI body on my TDP chassis, this has about a 10.28" wheelbase, or 261mm. https://i.imgur.com/w5k9mU3.jpg https://i.imgur.com/KMEZQFU.jpg https://i.imgur.com/CZWBqSF.jpg The front bumper on the chassis is keeping the body pushed towards the rear, but the DS should be able to use th...

Ooh, great choice!! I've been looking at that TA body myself. It looks a little wide but otherwise, it appears that HPI did a great job replicating the 1:1. I wonder what wheels are used in the photo :?: The original '78 Firebird snowflake wheels are hard to fake. https://cdn1.mecum.com/auctions/sc...

What is all this crazy talk? No love for Tommy Kendall's Mustang?



I was actually surprised (then and now) that AE didn't do the Sting Ray body as a call back to the Dead Pool movie.

Ford nailed it with that body design!

I'm really happy the RC10T is back in production. I got my first set of skinny fronts (...other than what my kit has ) from a part out and at a normal, reasonable price.

Ignore the dust. Here is a pic of my DS with the HPI body on it. Mounting holes aren't aligned for this car. The width is ok, the wheelbase is a little short but I didn't cut it for this body. It just runs a bit on the front and back so you should be able to trim to fit. 17229068566092.jpg 172290685...

My DS shipped out of Hobby-Sports in Michigan today, via USPS, scheduled delivery is this Saturday the 10th. Going to try for the box art on the stock body, I do really like it. https://img2.associatedelectrics.com/pictures/news/articles/2859/supporting_photos/8082-RC10DS-body%203qtr-high_lg.jpg Any...

Wide pan car or buggy conversion. Link in last post. I looked at that catalog page again, and it caught my eye that AE referred to this body as a "stock car." In reality, the body is super widened with flat panels on the side and rear, exactly like a trans am car (why I bought it). The sh...

Day 3 of the build was interrupted by hornets a few times. My son said the assembled front end looks like a turtle. This one if for the shelf. He says that he wants to build another one that will be a cheetah. I was able to show a new tool, digital calipers and talk about measurements and how to pic...

Just hit the HPI website for some answers: The wheels on the TA in the photo are discontinued but I'm sure Tamiya and others make a similar wheel. The TA body is 200mm x 254mm wheelbase so it won't simply drop-on the DS without some work. Having integrated wheel flares might limit how the wheel arc...

I like 'shopping local' when I can, and with mikea96 being a talented painter it's a pretty easy choice. Some of us really really hate painting. 😁 I special ordered one and 'needed' the other. . 1000013659.jpg . I don't know what these turnbuckles are intended to go on, but I can always find a use f...

In the spirit of AE60 and wallet Zero, these came in the mail today. Any guesses on the next ReRe and when AE will take another bite of cash?
