Because.....

This is an interesting AE year!

Ah.. first thing that came to my mind is RC10L/RC12L... I'm in the process of cleaning up my old 10L's. It has to be the TC3? You know you're getting old when you don't even think it's that old. To this day It's still a great platform.

No, that's a DS. Dual Sport based on the rc10 platform.

This year I have purchased a mint OG RC10DS, a mint RC10B3 Team kit, a mint RC10T2 with flo-orange powder coated chassis, built a hybrid World's Car with a mix of Re-re and Fan RC Parts, finished up my OG late Edinger, and I'm now finishing up my 10T Classic. Oh, and I'm waiting on my World's body t...

well well, look what came in the mail yesterday, its a slightly used freshly powder coated B chassis....

Maybe next month...?

Not exactly low hanging fruit but I reckon AE expects to sell enough DS's to at least break even on their investment. It would have been much less risky for them to re-re the Team car. My guess is that the CC, 40th and 10T have met and/or exceeded expectations, therefore making the DS an easier re-...

The main thing against the DS is that it's not a standard size, and until the wide proline VTA bodies came out not much fit when Bolink disappeared. It is a cool car and running options are far better than a pan car, so I can see it being popular enough, just not 10/10T popular.

coincidently, I was browsing ebay for tires this morning and saw those. They are pro-line 114-R. https://www.ebay.com/itm/305689346362 https://www.ebay.com/itm/326206654846 and looks like this seller has the 100-R wheels NIP https://www.ebay.com/itm/275389362777 Much thanks for solving that mystery...

Was only 96°F out today, had to take a shot at this. Got the drips sanded out of the driver door and back in primer. https://i.imgur.com/142nEAT.jpg Got the wheel wells painted thoroughly this time. https://i.imgur.com/1Kc9l0h.jpg Those fingernail stars should not have been used as masks, the paint ...

Pre-ordered my YZ-10 through Amain and took advantage of their $30 coupon. At least that pays for IL sales tax


Tough year to be an addict... Might not make it to Christmas...

Saw this pic of the car the Mustang DS was based off of on an unrelated FB post and figured I'd share. Also, I put in my order at my LHS. We'll see how long that takes, I'm not in a rush.
