RC10Talk - The Net's Largest Vintage R/C Community

Looking sweet so far! Hope to see an in action video when it's done!

Few more pictures.

Chassis. Pretty bare right now. Parts should be on their way soon if not already.



Exhaust clearancing.



With a white background its easier to see what I tried to do with the windows.



Throwing the idea around in my head of painting the windows white.



And I really have no plans on running this. Building it just for old times sake. I've regretted selling my old one many times. I don't run any of my vintage cars. Especially nitro. Too much hassle.

thats bad assss!!

This is real I definetly will be following this one.

Thanks guys. My whole plan with this is simplicity. And make it look as if it were almost factory.

BRavo man....its looking better and better.

I might be a convert after this project is finished

Few more pictures. Need more parts, better parts, rotary carb, a lot to list but I put some parts I already had on here while I wait.











New trans brace



Tire to exhaust clearance

Your avatar says it all!

I like it..

I don't know a lot about the RC10GT. Is this essentially a GT with buggy arms and bulkhead?

Pretty much. The nose is different but its just a bolt on part too.

I was not a big fan of the nitro RC items, but your creation is super cool looking. Very well done.

I am anxious though to see how it all plays out on the track. I would assume that the engine placement will have an effect on the car especially on jumps. Do you have any predictions or assumptions on performance and handling? I might say that it should be stupid quick though!

Cool project!!

I don't run my vintage car so this car wont be ran. I just like to build the cars.

I hear ya there. I have 'runners' that are vintage, but I rarely do run them. I love building and tinkering more than I do running them.

Aww shucks! You should at least do a gentle run on a short cut lawn or some thing! We would love to know how well it worked!
