This is gonna be great! I always had a soft spot for the Slingshot and owned several at one point.

Are you converting to the original belt setup? I personally like the chain conversion. Are those parts from a Dominator?

The servo is supposed to be taped to the front tower. It looks odd, but that's what the instructions suggest. Here's a scan I made of the original manual:

I thought for sure I posted this car when I first built it but I can't find the thread. Anyway, I decided to change up a few things to make it more like a proper speed run car of the period. These are the parts I added: - Tecnacraft Aero-Trac & diff hub - HPI front arm brace, pro rear upper plat...

It's a Sabula Tech BL2358 Air 1-10, which is made by them using the original Bolink Olds Aerotech mold.

That is gorgeous in every detail

Thanks! Your car provided a lot of inspiration for mine.

I've been looking for one of these T.M. Racing ST-10 conversions for a few years and as luck would have it, several popped up for sale within about a week. This one got the full purple Trinity treatment. Along with a fiberglass axle, Pure-Tech battery straps, Technacraft steering links and Pro-Line ...

I could never figure out how the top deck was mounted in the ad car. The section under the arms looks like it's mounted flat to the chassis, but from the servo back to the shock mount it looks like it's raises up. I wasn't sure either at first. But I used a button head screw through the front brace...

Nice to see the BTS Liberator! I ran one on my carpet oval LXT and loved how it fit around the rear shocks.

Here's my LX-T that I raced on carpet ovals as a kid. It's close to how it was back then, except for the .36" shocks and yellow motor plate. I ran A&L Roadkill & BTS Liberator, Dahm's Ruff- E-Nuff SE and Andy's Lo Profile bodies. I had Trinity Pushed 1400's but the Point Blank labels fi...

It's a Composite Craft "Ground Effects" chassis.

It's been a while since I built an RC10. So I figured it was finally time to open a NIP Lightz oval conversion I've had for many years. There's nothing fancy on this one and I built it as more of a gearbox club racer. - Lightz oval conversion chassis - RPM 1.96 Stealth conversion - Barracuda slipper...

I made a few changes and added some electronics to finish things up: - Bud's front arm brace - Swenton Racing extended motor plate - Hard anodized Team shocks - Factory Works Ah Cool Things washers & aluminum screws - Hyperdrive belt setup - Tekin 410K - Futaba S9101 & FP-R103F - Wimpy mod m...

Starting off my Christmas vacation with another 10Lss build.🙂 - Composite Craft Ground Effects chassis, Aero lower pod plate, graphite upper plate, graphite t-bar and sway bar - Wood Racing aluminum front end - CRC aluminum bulkhead and collet-style clamping hub - Litesink motor plate - Trinity serv...

I found this pic of another RC10L ground effects chassis. It is similar, but not an LTO. In this iteration, the rear section is definitely acting as a diffuser. It would be fascinating to learn if they were effective. I recently built a 10L speed run car with that Tecnacraft Aero-trac rear pod and ...

After wanting one of these as a kid 30+ years ago after seeing the magazine ad, I was finally able to build an Ultra Molded buggy. Just added a few period mods but nothing too crazy. I was so tempted to add some stickers to this blank canvas, but it looks just too good to cover up. :lol: - MIP CVD's...
