BTW though are they not RCPS turnbuckles/tierods?

I don't think so, RCPS tie-rods look more like the modern Lunsford ones. But I may be wrong...

RCPS and early Lunsford look like those, later RCPS look like the AE FT ones, but natural finish instead of blue. Later Lunsford are more rounded at the square part.

You mean that early RCPS and early Lunsford are not distinguishable (is this word English?)


Thanks guys for your comments, it has been tough to find that rig and some new parts for it, I really wonder how many of those RPM has produced back then...

Oh so we are both right (and I've learnt something, cheers temple ) so they are indistinguisahble from each other

Once again, this is coming from the guy who complains about his own use of English....

Man I like those Hammad Ghuman VLT shock bodies! Wish I could get some

I finally had time to add the last bits to this car: RPM front spindles, RPM rear hubs and last but not least a Hydra-drive conversion for the Stealth and a RPM Hydra gear cover. I also changed the rear tires for brand spanking new Losi X-pattern, gotta love those! I now have to cut the XX body I bought from Mr. lexan not so long ago and that project will be finished for now...

Well, the body has just been trimmed, what do you guys think? Pretty slick huh?

Low and lean... very good looking!

yeah that looks really nice, great shape to it with the body on.

That thing is awesome. Can't believe I missed this thread. You gotta a great looking ride there Asso_man.

Is that a Junior 2 body?

Sweet! That body looks just right on that rig!

looks like a b3 hotbody "quick" body
