Re: The Orange Ten
Cool, I like the color. Orange has the right level of obnoxiousness to the eyes but a step below bass boat metal fleck!
Can you share more details about the mill work including it looks like the rear of the chassis where the suspension mounts was narrowed?

Re: The Orange Ten

The rear is narrowed to mount an RPM worlds suspension kit.
Flip the shocks man.
What are those rear wheels? Duratrax?

Re: The Orange Ten
I really like this car. Makes me wish RPM still sold the parts to build one as I would do it strait away.
Re: The Orange Ten
Are these the same rear arms RPM currently list on there web page? Also is that a standard RC10T front bulkhead? Cheers

Re: The Orange Ten
Same here! I think the main/only problem with the RC10 is the short suspension arms (& slightly narrower track) compared with what is used on more modern buggies. The Stealth transmission allows the space for a narrower wishbone but it was never utilised by AE.... except on the Detroit prototype Stealth cars.... it always make me wonder why the features on those cars never made it to production. Two years later at the Worlds in Basildon & we were back to the original style cars & I think Associated were lucky to win.ThomasH wrote:I really like this car.

This project looks great with the orange chassis - please tell me that you'll finish it off with a black bodyshell?
