Ok guy the owner, designer and builder of this car is Giovanni Vaciago from Italy. He is a loyal passionate racer when it comes to the RC10 (specially the tub). He has 23 years of racing and still at it. He loves the original stealth cars from Massamis world championships and he mentioned he meat Massami and went to the yokomo fatory in AYASE Tokyo and all.
Seams like a very friendly guy. He also sent me this other pic.

Hopefully he joins the forum and he can share some of his experience with this car.

Now I am planning my next car. Most for the other build I had in mind will probable rest for a bit. :D

Looks like a B2 front end with reversed front shocks and old design MIP steering. Would be interesting to see the car from underneath!

I am waiting for some more pics from Giovanni. The front is actually a cut RC10T with GPM aluminum RC10T bulkhead that is closet together. The rear is using some mod bk Losi arms, TC3-O bones, HPI Axel and Tamiya wheels (because hi runs other Tamiya cars). :D

Cool cars. I wonder what the air-dams on top of the truck hood are for? I know what the lexan on the chassis is for, dirt prevention. I do something similar with my trucks, just go about it a little differently.

I just can't figure out what the ones on the hood are for. :?:

I think they are to get a bit more traction on the front.
