I started pulling stuff out of the parts boxes to scratch build an RC10 just for this race. Then, I just ran across this today on ebay, I'm thinking I'll get this old dog ready for the vintage race. Looks like it's in pretty good shape from the pics, and it was a good price.

Nice man.

Hey I just wanted to send a HUGE thanks to Bearrickster for mentioning the race in his ebay auctions. The more word I get out there the better this race is going to be for all. Thank you sir, I owe you one.

Got it today, it looks great. Just needs a little cleaning. I think I'll Stealthify it to be a little more competitive though. The spare chassis looks awesome, it's got a weird finish and some really cool scratches and patina, but the front end is bent a bit. :cry: I really want to use the spare chassis that came with it because of the cool finish it has, I might have to try to hammer it straight. Got another box and instruction manual with pics. 8)

If we have personals, can we use them as well?
