I have collecting parts for the past few months after selling off all my old RC10's(big mistake!!!) and now I am going to build 4 cars!! #1 I recently picked up a mint Worlds(later all black version) car that needs a cleaning and body trim/painted. #2 I have a nicely modified Team car(BB steering, Ti tie rods, RPM trans, and CVD's) but the suspension parts and chassis are to nice for a runner. So, the RPM trans is coming out to be replaced by a nice stealth, and then it will just be a nicely modified Team car. #3 I have enough parts to build a Team car graphite, just need to drill the chassis for the stealth( I have 2 really nice ones) and put everything together. #4 Will be the "old is new" runner. I have a driller and milled gold tub, the RPM trans from the Team car, new RPM front and rear a-arms, B4 shocks, graphite towers, and a B4 I can canibalize for the rest of the parts to run 2.2 rims! Sorry I don't have any pics of the Team graphite chassis and parts.
So my original plan went out the window once I started wrenching. Besides, I would rather have more runners/more fun! The Team car got turned into an "ols is new" RPM car! The graphite team car became a slightly modified runner, and all the left over parts will get used on the gold swiss cheese tub, as a basher! Alot of the guys I backyard race with have short course trucks so, why not try and beat up on them with a 20 year old RC10!!! Still have to order the B44 CVA's and fit bodies to both. The RPM car is going to get B4 rear wing mounts and wing. Also, going to convert the graphite car into an RPM runner as well...

I have a 1/12 Lancia Stratos body and I'm having a hard time deciding between putting it on a 12e (on road) or a Jerobee ATV chassis ( off road ). It looks equally cool on either, and it's era-correct for both.
Thoughts?

If it fits the way you want on the 12e then put it on there. There's tons of other Stratos cars you can model it after besides the Alitalia car.
The Alitalia car is the most recognized Stratos because it's the most often seen, and therefore it's...
