My first attempt at painting and decaling a body finished up today. Used tamyia fluorescent yellow and pink I think brilliant blue all backed with white. Custom colored mciracing decals. Not sure what to do on the wing. Not real happy with it and none of my decals look big enough. For now it stays b...

Yep Andy’s pro. Front bulkhead looks like this and like Mach v said very hard to find and usually expensive. I recently ran across one for sale but don’t need another one. @jcwrks

IMG_0842.jpeg I’m new to the whole build thread thing but I like this car enough that it should be fun to document. I’ve been collecting Andy’s parts for a while and have several builds near completion. This one I thought was complete until I saw last years BOTY winner and the effort that went into...

Had a little time today to do a little more work on the car. I received the TPS shock pivots so I installed those on the MIP shocks. Put some black AE ball cups on the turnbuckles and got the front end on the car. I did use a set of Andy’s front axles. I also changed out the Andy’s castor blocks tha...

Another little update today. I’ve been debating on whether to pull the FT blue shock caps as they didn’t come on the market until late 90s and aren’t really correct on this car. I really like the looks of them and have a few sets on different models that they really shouldn’t be on. In the end a goo...

Alright, final update until I return from a much needed trip with the family. I received the Delrin gears for the SP-1 transmission. Top shaft idler and diff gear. Can’t believe how much lighter the transmission is. Probably should have weighted it just for fun. Replaced the screws with the appropri...

IMG_1139.jpeg IMG_1140.jpeg IMG_1141.jpeg When I get home I’ll work on installing the electronics and see if I dare solder everything up. 😬 also need to put a pinion on. The one thing I usually leave undone on a shelfer is no shock oil. Super excited about how she’s coming along. Glad I decided to ...

Andys Molded Pro Race. Tried my best to stay 100% vintage and era correct.

Build thread from last month is here. https://www.rc10talk.com/viewtopic.php?t=48939&start=15

I think I’m going to call this one done for now. Decided not to solder or cut any electrics. Just placed them and tied up the wiring. Went with a new Futaba S9101 steering servo. Dyed a new set of AE servo mounts black for that. Went with the new Novak 410-HPc Hyperfet ESC a new Novak NER3FM RX Trin...

I pity the fool who don't run my tires!

Where in the world do you get a Mr T emoji
