I know its not but almost reminds me of a Kyosho outrage. Good looking shell though.

No one has any idea about this one?

That's the fab 4 body made by parma. It usually comes with the under tray & wing. Here's the one on my optima:

I didn't know that was the reason why he stopped making parts. :shock: How very unfortunate... It must of happened some time ago no? He hasn't made parts in what seems like forever.

I had one of his Bruiser trans which was a quality piece. I ended up mirror polishing that too. :lol:

I think Dave stopped building Bruiser tranny parts long before his plane accident. He is one heck of a machinist and is holding an rc truck and tractor pull at his shop in the middle of April.

On to 2,000.

Anyone know the maker of this RC10 front tower? Thicker than stock, missing the .56 mounting holes, and it's a darker sea green/aqua color.

I've definitely seen one of those before but not for a long time. I think the manufacturer was called Scale Hobbies or something like that.
