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

Here's the latest project I've completed. It was inspired by the iconic Lake Whippoorwill Speedway that I could only read about in the magazines in the early 90's. Here's a list of the parts I used:

- BME Patriot II offset chassis & nose
- Custom chassis braces/nose tubes powdercoated flat black
- TrackMaster graphite X Caliber direct-drive tranny
- Custom Scale Components universals
- McAllister lowering kit
- RPM rear arms
- Tecnacraft titanium turnbuckles
- Hot Trick polished steering arms
- AE NTC3 shocks
- BSR Featherlite caps with Paragon AeroDiscs
- Team Cobra & Bolink on-road wheel adapters
- AE Viper body cut to fit around the suspension
- Twinn-K carbon fiber airfoil with Bud's deck mounting kit

This is just my interpretation of what a buggy built for concrete ovals would look like. I remember seeing a 10T in a magazine years ago that had an on-board camera and drove around a concrete oval beside the pancars and filmed them.

I also have some narrow Bolink foams for it that would make it good for carpet ovals. It will probably never see a track, though.

I try to make my builds as unique as possible, while keeping the essence of the RC10.

at ARF

I can honestly say that I have never ever seen anything like this b4

I like it

Whatever the purpose.....eye candy for sure.


And I believe your unknown universals are of the Custom Scale Components variety!!

I think I might know what im going to do with my lowering kit now! That is bad a$$!

wow, if that thing had standard diameter buggy wheels on it you could drive it upside down or right side up without a body like thoes tyco rollover cars. imagine a whole field of thoes you wouldn't even need turn marshals during a race.
