I managed to find a set of NIP white collars and spring cups (car does look way better with them), I borrowed the RPM Hydra gear cover from my RPM car and just throwed in some electronics, the 410-M5 is period correct, but I'm on the hunt for a nice NER-3S receiver (hint, hint!) in good looking shape. I'll have to find a good servo and a nice motor too... Oh, and I also hacked a YZ-10 belt tensioner, I don't think I'll be able to find an original MIP one before I die :(

I thi9nk your buggy came out great but to me, It needs more cowbell (aftermarket hop ups) You got all the sweet stuff like the tub and tecnacrafts but then you have stock parts hanging on it. Come on bling that baby out.

Okay I missed the quarter flash arms but how about an RPM rear bulkhead, front one piece arm mounts and some rod ends. The tecnacraft rodds look a bit short and the long rpm ball cups would cover the threads.

Hey Jim, I just wanted to left some space for the other members like you to raise the bar even more
:mrgreen: Seriously, there's already almost nothing left from an stock RC10 here (rear hubs and arm mounts, front susp. mounts, rear bulkhead, Stealth case, shock clamps and rod ends). I wanted to use only white parts on this one and stay the more period correct possible. I thought about installing a one-piece RPM front bulkhead, but firstly I would have had to hack it to fit the MIP front shock strut and I have personnally never seen a white one. Like it or not, this is one of my favorite builds and I don't think I'm ready to change anything on it. Now I'm going to take it to the skate park and run the crap out of it on a sweet gravelled ground :roll:

wow...

by far the most geeked rc10 i've seen. nice example of taking time on a project and waiting for it all to come together. the problem now is, what are you gonna do to top it? :mrgreen:

btw, the yz10 tensioner looks like it belongs there. 8)

I have a few projects on the bench, but with the baby coming in a few weeks, I don't think I'll have time to use a screwdriver any time soon...

here are my few left-over projects:

- Upgrading and revamping my runner '10 with a used ComCom chassis I recently bought, fitting it with world's RPM rear arms (without narrowing the chassis) and using B4 CVD's and wheels all around. This car must be ready in two weeks as I will participate in an 6hrs enduro race with it :D , brushless and lipo set-up for the occasion :twisted:
- Kyosho Gallop retso (I have two chassies in good shape to make a splendid shelf-queen)
- Wild Willy 1 (with some broken parts but in really good shape)
- RC10 Graphite with MIP trailing arms
- 4wd RC10 with the SP-1 tranny and short front arms
- Schumacher CAT XL (total tear-down for this one, cleaning-up, replacing used parts (very few) and rebuild...)

Quite a few projects in fact :mrgreen:

oh and selling all my "junk" parts, I must have like 5 cardboard boxes filled with left-over parts from my builds
