Installed a new/old S148 in my JrxPro build..the vintage electronics are complete now. Just need to trim and fit the body…

Looks great! What color is that?

The RC10CC is my Christmas present this year.. I would leave out some extra special cookies & brownies for Santa if he left me the Project Optima, yellow & Blue truck from RCCA December 1987.. https://i.postimg.cc/W41wZ0ty/0936-A830-58-F4-458-E-BE9-F-6071-C2-A557-B0.jpg https://www.rc10talk....

Since this will only be a shelfer/display build, I decided to get the hard compound tires…thinking they will be better for the long term. The difference between them is interesting though.. the fronts are rock hard with no foams and were a pain to put on the wheels..the rears are considerably softer...

RCCA July 1992

That’s awesome Lavigna!

Great looking buggy and story! I wish I still had my old cars.. Interesting that all the 8-32 x 1/2” screws look to be steel/silver. If it’s going to be a shelfer you should drain oil out of all the shocks and definitely install vintage electronics…a Slot Machine motor looks great in it. A RPM #7365...

Whoa! This will be awesome.. You can get aluminum gear cases and counter gears now for these.
