I didn't have a good usable gold nose plate, so I'm using a black vintage worlds car part. I recently converted from black to white plastics (mix of vintage and rere) just so the car was even more recognizable as an RC10.
This car is run at an indoor clay track which generally has high grip and medium-large jumps. I have the rere worlds shocks with stock springs at a #1 piston and 30wt oil f/r. Running proline electron (MC) with blue inserts on rere worlds wheels. Shorty lipo mounted just in front of the rear bulkhead seems to give the best weight distribution, but I am still playing with adding ballast weight. The turbo mirage body is painted in an american flag theme. I sprayed the white over the metallic red a little too soon, so the red is more pink than it shoudl be, but it's a racer so oh well. I found out my first race that the turn marshals seemed to not understand you can't grab an old buggy by the wing, I used B4 wing mounts on the CE rear tower to mount the wing. While I like the look of the old wing, using a new 6.5" high-downforce wing resulted in slightly faster lap times. I'm eager to see more people with high-grip clay setups; I am just beginning to get the car dialed so it can be slightly more competitive. Last race night my fast laps were about 1 second slower on a 24 second lap vs my Mod Buggy 8.5 turn B4.2FT.
