I had a busy weekend dialing away. First i stripped, cleaned and died the purple doner car parts Black. I really wanted to use a rpm worlds front end but they are so hard to come by i used a rc10t front bulkhead and shock tower with Losi arms. THe bulk head had to be trimmed for the arms to have full range of motion.

Just a note about Dynotech—Chad is a one-man band, and isn't always around e-mail. If he doesn't respond immediately, don't get tweaked. Sometimes it takes a couple of shots to get where you're going with Chandler. ;) But it's worth it—his stuff roXors. :D I have a new Dynotech Delta sitting right here next to me, and it's a seriously cool piece of R/C kit (vertical motor mount, vertical TC3 exposed diff, pushrod front suspension, adjustable rear toe A-arms, adjustable rear anti-squat diff housings...). I'll save that stuff for another thread, though. :D

I'm anxious to see where this one goes—I dig the retro-contemporary racers with the low-slung oldie bodies.

Nice job on the clean up and dye job! Also, nice touch with the front gt brace mount and tubes.
Old school racing all the way!

You really did a very nice safe there, awesome resto! I'm always amazed by how good a RC10 that seem like a piece of crap can turn out with special care, it seems that they can't really die and end up in a trash can. Let the legend go on, these babies are bullet-proof 8)
