What was old is… still old, but a lot newer (Update 2/20/11)

can you also confirm the ball sizes from the original car. will the linked long ball be that size?

If you want white ae ball cups, that's an ebay item. Be prepared to shell out $30+ when you can find them.

The ball studs in the link should the same as the rest of an rc10. Minus the sway bar ball studs and cups.

Thanks for being so prompt scr8p!

My friend Scott Sjobakken was one of the guys who started this website and put me on to what you all have done.

This is my first vtg buggy build (not counting my Turbo Optima that I built when it wasn't vintage). I am excited to get it together and will be racing it at Long Island Raceway in the 17.5 class. Once I have it there to tease my fellow racers I hope to get a weekly class going. And I will share my build here when Im done, though it won't be radically different than other things I have seen here. I still am vexed by the suspension options for using modern wheels and will have questions when I get to that stage.

To get up and running I hoped to just use original wheels but I don't know the best tires (and inserts?) that will be competitive at my track. We run proline suburbs super soft, nearly bald. They are great on my Kyosho RB6.

Are the Vintage Nats still going in Connecticut?

Anyway thanks again.
