Re: ** Build of the Month Contest - September 2023 * - Winner - RC10resto
I am curious about the motor choice though. As a motor collector, the only reason I'd put that choice in such an awesome buggy is if It was going to do a lot of running on a high power LiPo battery and I didn't want to care if the motor got burned up.Frankentruck wrote: ↑Wed Sep 20, 2023 5:04 pmIf I can't see it, is it really there?That is an excellent Cat!

I would love top run something else in it but our vintage class rules only allow a g27 kyosho motor otherwise it would have a revtec 14x2, Peak performance 11x3 or twister 13x3 in itFrankentruck wrote: ↑Thu Sep 21, 2023 8:18 amI am curious about the motor choice though.

I would like a Cali Sport truck body for a similar project.juicedcoupe wrote: ↑Wed Sep 20, 2023 2:23 pmI voted for the 33' Ford because you don't see the Parma Good Times cars often. Also, a Parma California Sport Truck (similar chassis) was my second hobby grade car.Frankentruck wrote: ↑Wed Sep 20, 2023 1:40 pm Interesting lead group in the votes, 3 very different contenders. One of them got my vote.

That Cat is pretty great build and is getting a lot of love. I think the key to wait for January after everyone is to busy to post their builds.

Well deserved win. Great example. It's kinda nice to see an early RC10 take it. It will look right at home on the front page.
Hope you're doin' something fun.
