Just gonna have to try harder next year!

Finally getting this running...been sitting on the shelf since it was restored a couple years ago..it was cool seeing it run...runs strong!

Weird thing is I am the heaviest by alot...left to right
181lbs, 183lbs, 190lbs..f'd up!

Serious goodies for a serious build

Also concerning this thread since he contributed....where is Lonestar?

The bronze is over too

I'm on the fence with this one. While the concept of a carbon plate chassis is very cool, the RC10 Graphite car was universally rejected by the racing community bitd. Also, I've driven mine and it just doesn't handle as well as my tub cars. It would be nice to add a Graphite re-re to the collection...

I would rather someone just tell me, lol..more time for booze

Alloy or Graphite?

Alloy

I dig it!

Yup!

.18 buggy engine here will drop right in...side exhaust, rotary carb..$149...I have one in my Monster Beetle...runs really good....carb doesn't have low end needle adjustment so it run a bit fat off the line..but good engines...it was fully broke in too https://www.mecoa.biz/shopdisplayproducts.asp?...

I did just send them an email coincidentally asking if they would want to make the K&B available with no pull start. The K&B are still made in the USA and the quality is pretty good. They could do some serious business if they would do this with the GT coming..they should cut you in for 10%...

....or could just buy this $6.50 backplate( Part Number: 21-8801) when ordering engine...gasket is only $2.25..grind off pullstart tit..your golden..plus u can brag that u have a "custom" engine!

Follow the build thread if u want a good, funny read on a cold afternoon! This is my favorite rc, it really gets your adreline going when u run it... Quick details: -Factory Works custom made chassis -$30 per run (not counting repairs) -Aerotech G53 has been the 'overall' best engine -1.18s in 132ft...
