I have had an order with RPM that screwed up and Richard Royall kindly accepted to sign the chassis for all the troubles I've had. You can try to send it to him in order to have it signed by him, but he is very shy when it comes to sign anything, so you may send a few emails before he accepts... Later on, I also asked for an authentification slid and I've still no answer about that, oh well I got a ton of emails to prove it...

I got this letter today from Richard Royall (RPM CEO and designer of the car). This is just for the sceptics among you guys, if there are any

Very nice!!!!

Are those losi wing tubes mounted upside down?

Thanks! Yes they are Losi tubes

After years and years of searching, I finally found the missing MIP shock caps for this ride! These are darn hard to find!

it's good to see somebody using shocks besides vlt's on an rpm.

Hoop, dig into the other pages and you'll see that I'm actually using VLT's on it, though they are Losi stylish the black Losi shocks came with the blue MIP cartridges. By the way, did Losi ever released black shocks or are these MIP too?

Losi does have black shocks

Though I already have a very good example, I couldn't resist this one, has been run one time indoor, fitted with Triumph gold shocks and tranny (weird!), 2.2 HPI 5-spoke rims at all corners, nice RCPS body, Tecnacraft turnbuckles... only missing a rear a-arm and RPM specific steering components. I'll post better pics once arrived and cleaned a bit.

Nice find, keep us updated!
I would like to see a white RPM trans case on your shelf queen, will one fit?

Yes it will....................... with a lot of dremelling on the trans case or rear arms mounts, Scr8p did it for one of his builds!

that should clean up pretty good, david. so, how many is that now, 4-5?

here is a couple pics of the trans case mod.

I have one built and signed by Richard Royal and I must now have enough parts to build 2 other ones. I didn't need this one but it was sooo cheap I couldn't pass it up, especially with all the goodies included. I sold a complete new chassis to momo a long time ago and I am missing two bellcrank sets. The 5 spoke rims will go on signed my shelfer and I will probably relist everything else; time will tell... Looks like I have a Triumph project now, oh nooooooo
