I thought that if you contacted him he could specify a checkout procedure on his website whereby he would put together a set with lengths to match your application? I've never asked for a set for a short arm rc10 though.

Edit: fixed the quoted section, sorry.

I was thinking Vintage.

Nice job JK. The fiberglass parts look great!

These tires were left over from an outdoor high bite blue groove tire eating track (basically a set of tires every battery pack, even in blinky 17.5).

The only track left around here is indoor clay...A very high bite track...I think they only run mod there...I will have to check or I will be racing by myself

nice!

these are the builds i have always liked, you make it your own and not whats on the box.

Thanks Hoopty...appreciate it.

Should be painting this week, and waiting for the A&L steering to arrive.

I'm with hoopty on this one. It was nice to see a re-re customized for once. You've done a sweet job an this one and it should fit into the rest of your fleet nicely.

Thanks vintage AE, my plan from the day of announcement was to replace me current racer.


And let the games begin

I am not a very patient painter, but I am going to do my best to take my time with this one.

And I commited...no orange this time gonna regret it, LOL



Don't worry, the black sharpie is on the outside so I could see the cut lines...my only complaint (and its a small one)...No window masks?

i hear ya... window masks would be sooooo nice.

And...for the first time EVER in one of my builds...I will be painting the driver to match the body. Poorly I might add

keep in mind the overspray film is still on

But not on this guy:

done for the night

Love it!

Joey, great job on the car. I have been thinking about doing the same thing as well. A new car with all new parts really performs well if you take the time to build it properly. I have been building cars from used parts just like the rest of us here.

I started working on converting a 10T into a race build but decided to hold off on the project. I am undecided if I want to stay with a more classic build on the Re Re I have. I may decide to purchase the new parts and build the 10T into a more modern racer and keep the Re Re a classic car.

Regardless, you have pretty much nailed what my plans have been for a while now. Curious to see how the car drives.
