A-Main Bullet Fwd 4ws RC10 conversion Tribute build

[Vintagemishal]

If you wanted an aluminum chassis version they would be easy! We have the recipe for that one! The carbon fiber is a big expense. It's coming.....

Aluminum would work for me. Would be especially cool if your anodizer could match the factory RC10 Gold. HMMMM?

I just snapped a pic of the sheet today when I was there. I have done the gold and it was ok but dull. I am having a sample of orange done. Should be close to late model associated. I just noticed tho.....champaign is listed I need to do another sample.

"others available upon request" Just plop an Edinger on the table and say "I request this color."

Remember the part where I said I've never paid over the shop minimum?
I'm not exactly a priority

[clm]

Well drat!

Was worth a try though!

How many parts can you fit in a batch before you go over the minimum order?

[GoMachV]

This current batch will be the test I guess lol!

Last big one was 4 chassis, nose, and motor plates, bunch of shock bodies and caps, and a bunch of hardware. No sweat

Don't recognize the front tires but the body looks like it could be an MRP Beetle with the wheel wells cut off.

I did not see anybody chime in here, but I am almost certain that the body is a Bolink Baja Bug. It was a lexan version of the Sand Scorcher body. Parma makes it still and it is almost identical to the Bolink, but is a little more detailed.

[Vintagemishal]

I think I may know somebody that could do a box art body?

[GoMachV]

RJ speed may still have the bolink buck too. I'll start with what's available as this is a tribute car after all.

Box art body would be cool but mr graphite needs to be on the hood!

[Vintagemishal]

Mr. Graphite is not a problem. It also just occurred to me that in the ad for this thing, the wheels appear to be the gold plated Tamiya Fox wheels? Not sure how the rears would work with the Kyosho hexes as I am not familiar with the back side of a Fox wheel.

Could be.

Fox in the rear, Hotshot in the front.

Edit: Looking again they could be fox rears in the front.

[Vintagemishal]

I think they are Fox all around. The only reason I do not think it is Hotshot, is because I don't think the Hotshot had that much of a dish to it. I think the Hotshot was a more positive offset wheel.

[GoMachV]

Well, we are gonna pump out so many of these things (maybe 4? Lol) that we can build a magazine art and a box art car

Great work and very cool, I'm interested too. The front wheels look like CRP fox or wild one wheels.
