thanks for your comments guys, this is definitely one of the nicest RC10s I have. I've been collecting parts for it for a long time and I'm very happy with the result. Yes the tires have holes (something that QC didn't tell me :cry: ). Now I really have to complete my CF tub :twisted: 8)

a little update for this one, I trimmed the B2 body I recently acquired, it fits almost perfectly, though not totally period correct, I agree, but those darn RCPS mirage bodies seem far from being available and after all the B2 was inspired from this very one, wasn't it?

Of course now the B2 body will become NLA...

They do fit the flat chassis cars quite nicely, and really do look to be based on the RCPS shell. Very nice Asso!

I had my LHS order a few of the 6140 B2 sport bodies when they were showing limited availability, but they got backordered, too... :(

Due to popular demand, here's an update with the T&A Yokie machined wheels I recently bought from Dr. Robotnik. Wheels are fitted through Hot Trick adapters on the rear axles and RW Racing ones on the front wheels. Bling bling...

Thanks for the nice comments guys, this is definitely one of my favs!

Momo, this is what it's all about here, when I logged in here some years ago, I was only hoping to buy a nice gold tub, and now due to contamination by other members and excessive love for vintage cars, I have like 40 cars and some runners... to each his own...
