Yatabe/JMRCA 93' Tomohiro Hirai Replica (Sanwa 212HF Update)

[Charlie don't surf]

The only "problem" with the tires, is that they are both 2.2- so the problem is that I didn't think that other than the TH30 rear rims that they made the (6805's) in a 2.2 yet- ? The rears look perfect on the 30's, the front's look kinda strange on the TQ rims-

i don't know about ae, but proline and trinity had 2.2 white dish rears for the rc10 in or before 1992.

I know that Masami's car for this race had the standard TQ fronts- but I just don't know what was "in" in Japan at the time-

[scr8p]

well, kinwald won the worlds in 93 and the car had 6805's, so i don't see why this car couldn't have them....... being the same year and all.

True, the fronts are my biggest hangup. The rears can go either way as for the 6805's or the TH30's I suppose

Yeah, but that is the last thing I want to hear. what about the b2 new front rims that used the regular bearings?

[Jay Dub]

Well, they look like a smaller diameter rim to me. However, you (assuming you have the article in hand) might be able to count the ribs on the backside of the front rims. The 2.2 inch rims I have have only 6 ribs, and the 2.175 fronts are 8 ribs. You may also be able to see enough detail near the axle to see if it is a small or large bearing. -Jeff

I believe it was #6852 in FX Kit

This is going to be an awesome build!
Keep up the good work.

FYI to everyone: Last night I was called and turned down two brand new built (never run) RC10CE's offered to me first, so look for them on ebay as I told him he should post them up on ebay since he could get good $$ there for them. I don't know how much he wants for them as I just didn't even ask due to having so many RC10's that I am only looking for those that are particularly early ones now (Like NoStamp chassis early edinger style ones mainly).

Keep your eyes open for them.

Well, I have stalled at the moment on another replica waiting on parts so I thought I would start back on this one I still managed to miss every Atlas motor listed , but sooner or later I will obtain one .

I also came across a perfect parts donor car to keep the NIP parts in the bags, all parts on this car are new and perfect ( although the rear bulkhead has had a battery placed in it ) it also came with a new set of early CVD's- which I may or may not use on this build-

More to come possibly tonight-

Finally did some work! I put a new Reedy Ultra Sonic in until I find a correct Atlas mod and the 1991 Futaba 1024 receiver is there until I get some of the correct electronics- I am going to make the right battery strap later today

nice.

do you know exactly which electronics you need?

[Asso_man!]

Looks good, but what happened to the wheel stickies? Looks like they don't hold up too well...

Some KO reciever that I can't identify and an Sanwa 212HF esc

I cheated, I cut them around the backing paper and didn't stick them on since the car will be boxed up eventually
