Didn't see a thread started on this yet. Thanks to Andrew Cooke of Grand Prix 3D for making this dream build possible.

Pic borrowed from his Facebook page.

I won't be using this as my personal build thread but will hopefully post a pic of my finished car once I source all the parts and its completed.

Got 2 of his first batch of kits.

Eagerly awaiting mine as well, cannot wait, absolute dream car for me!

Just built the gearbox for mine perfect alignment spins as good as the original absolute quality product

It's a 1 piece chassis, the kickup is "molded" in.

The first batch gave you the option of having the built in kick up chassis like I choose or having a separate piece to cut down on costs. Doesn't look like they offer option 2 any more.

Thanks guys!! RC10Talk is the "real" forum for RC10's :wink: When studying the pictures of Masami’s car I found a couple of additional holes drilled in the rear shock tower. Also cut an original bulkhead to shape. Cut, shaped and drilled the steering bell crank as per pics of Masami's car.

Transmission done.

Small steps. Waiting on parts...
Just noticed that I need to source aluminum M3 phillips screws for the front turnbuckles.

Looking good! Did you pickup your turnbuckles before lunsford closed up? Thank you. Unfortunately I didn't... I had these in the drawer. The steering turnbuckles are 2" on these stealths so as Toaster mentioned abow I've ordered repro from gp3d. Amazing pics - love the progress :D Thank you, A...

A little update.
Du-bro 1/16” collars that hold the wing in place.
At the front: Xray 5.8 mm pivot balls are as close to original Yokomo as it gets. Looks much better than the long Kyosho ones.
