I made some small progress yesterday: I added white Andy's a-arms all around, front c-hubs and knuckles, and rear hub carriers are still coming from the CE spare part car. I stole the MIP tranny and motor plate from my Dual Sport which will soon receive a Stealth with HPI two-speed set-up, if only I can find a black Stealth motor plate, HINT HINT. I am now stuck as I am missing screws, bits and bobs for the shocks and a nice set of turnbuckles (Tecnacraft or early Lunsford). This is what it looks like right now:

Just received this response:
Com-Com was business in Germany run by two friend Ulrich Lein Axel Becker, Ulrich was a totally fanatical RC car builder and loved every minute detail, we started producing parts for Com-Com (including RC10 tub chassis) over 15 years ago. The RC car business got too demanding for the two original directors as they also had day jobs so ultimately they sold out to GM racing still in Germany we made a couple of orders for GM but then it all went quiet.
I must say that has got to be one of the nicest builds lately. I like the fact that you are using the vintage white parts on it. I like the tub too and thought about using one for my next project. The shock towers and that battery strap are a nice extra touch too.
I managed to build two rear shocks today, went with some black MIP bodies. I had to remove the ano from the shock caps and polish them to match the motor plate. I'd love to find a set of JG alloy shock collars and spring cups, one day, maybe... Now this thread is gonna sink for another 5 months, lol

Erik, the front ones are still in their 20 years old bag trying to breathe as much vintage air as possible before I release them to a more fresh one.
So Gregg, since you're the only authorithy able to put a name one a car, how would you nickname this one? As a teaser and to better make up your mind, I plan to use a CRP tri-level wing and most probably alloy rims with spiky tires!

looks good, but needs more blue, and more RPM 8)
A mip stinger setup would be perfect on there too.
A project geared towards dreams of racing... It will be almost all black parts (aside from shock towers and front a-arm mounts). nothing will be dyed. Andy's arms in the rear, RPM arms in the front (more shock mounting holes than Andy's). im not...

Nice project Gamma. I liked it with the gold nose peice though. I really like the shock color scheme you got. Too bad those springs are red.
Hey guys I have been a stranger the past several months and things have really been hectic for me. I managed to keep in touch with most but some of you definitely got left out and I apologize. I am turning things around slowly and hope to be more...

Looks like the kits are available! Just saw the post on Facebook.
I currently got my T3 out of storage and am trying to update it to run at the local track and be somewhat competitive. The truck is the Team Kit so it had most of the upgrades included. I purchased new ball cups and aluminum front axles, and...

Nice spot alien, makes sense to keep the spurs etc the same... :D
Well the process is going slow, I almost have all the parts except wheels and tires. Chasis isn't done yet and I still need a body. I am about ready to try stripping the paint since I keep getting outbid on bodies. Anyway this is what I have built...

Chasis is now powder coated, won't be long now. Still waiting on some money and more parts. almost done. I will post finished truck with its new name.
This probably the most significant historical update of the site ever.
Mainly contained within the HISTORY section. New galleries of pictures of stuff never seen by most outside of Team Losi. I have no doubt it will bring up many questions. Some I...

Found a couple pics I forgot in the prototype section. Just added them in, but I will show them here real quick. XXXS
