its so kinky...

i recently bought a chassis lot because it had some rpm front widearms and a mip tranny, bonus was a pink (but well used) chassis and nose plate. i put it together today from bits and pieces, had to cut the noseplate to rc10t specs, but i did a pretty good job with it. i broke one of my rules and took some shocks off a mostly completed project because i didnt have any spare truck fronts. i'll find a used set and strip/polish them to match the motorplate and nose brace tubes. the body is just a placeholder, but it kinda looks cool on it imo.

anyway, the stinky pinky:

There is something I cannot put my finger on about the RPM front end that looks... sexy?
Some day I will have a full RPM car. Some day...
Bought my first RC10 in 1989

Don't forget about red, althought it looks like a couple shades darker than the pink. I have a yellow and orange nose as well, so I have to believe they made chassis to match, but can't recall seeing one of either.

I was starting to think those fluo chassis were deeply hidden in the closet of shame.

But I see you guys are coming out of the closet :lol:

These were really popular at the time Asso was getting big around the club I raced at.
Not really my thing but undeniable part of the asso history

Hey you just gave me an idea.... Are you actually using truck front arms? Does it make the front width the same as for the buggy?
