Re: ** Build of the Month Contest - March 2023 ** - Winner - coxbros1
Here is an RC10 buggy that I am very fond of.
I purchased this many many years ago from our good friend Don, RIP buddy.
A few details, it has Andy's arms up front, RPM's on the back. Anodized chassis and such.
LRP Runner speed control and a Futaba S3003 servo. Thanks Don.

Original Tamiya Midnight Pumkin (not rerelease)...ran hard for many years in early 2000s...set up on 10 cells and a trinity speed gems amber motor (long before days of brushless motors and lipo batteries). Clocked it at 48mph on gps. It was a handful and took a horrible crash. It was restored with all original parts from back in the day.

This is my RC10 A+ chassis 6 gear buggy. It's gone through a little bit of front end evolution to replace the nose tube setup and lower the bellcranks a bit.

There's a morning pole pic joke here but I've matured... a little anyway.

After reading this, I'm a little let down that this Pumpkin isn't shown with 10 cells packed into it. I tried to do something similar with my Turbo Optima BITD but without any awesomeness like that. My poor Speedworks 427 motor gave up. It's center shaft started slipping, allowing the windings to rotate around the shaft.TheDiamondOne wrote: ↑Thu Mar 02, 2023 6:46 pm Original Tamiya Midnight Pumkin (not rerelease)...ran hard for many years in early 2000s...set up on 10 cells and a trinity speed gems amber motor (long before days of brushless motors and lipo batteries).

Supercharged Nitro in a Bruiser ...... Job done 

If a jobs not worth doing then its certainly not worth doing well.
A problem shared is a problem halved but an advantage shared is no advantage at all.

I have had my mouse clicking finger ready and waiting for the voting to start ever since you first posted that you acquired a Top Cat.

The Top Cat will have to wait until I get my parts order. Supposedly the parts shipment has been out of Customs in Chicago since 2/28, but no further delivery progress. Some Customs guy in Chicago is enjoying MY pro transmission in his Top Cat.
