Sweet, good to know there will be some Losis out there kicking up some dirt onto the hoods of all the RC10s behind them.

Re: Your vintage nats competition
Slowly but surely making progress.
First is my JRXPro, then my Frog... (sorry the first frog pic was a litle fuzzy)
Still working on the RC10. I am unsure which I'd rather run, so I'm bringing both.

Re: Your vintage nats competition
That frog looks cool!
you should finish it with a baja champ body, like this one: the kit is discontinued but the bodies are still available from tamiya usa

Re: Your vintage nats competition
well.... here's my 2wd entry. i'm pretty much done mocking it all up. now, i just gotta tear it back down, and start over again with the new parts.
this race needs a resto-mod class.

Re: Your vintage nats competition
actually most of the parts that are on the car now are new. but, i need to put on the new turnbuckles, ball cups, build the new shocks (when i get them), and a couple other little things.
so, i guess i don't really need to tear it down all that much.

Re: Your vintage nats competition

Yeah, it cleaned up really nicely. Didn't need much work at all, but I made a few changes just because.mrlexan wrote:That looks like it cleaned up well Mell (hey a rhyme!)

Those are just fluffy clouds painted on a canvas Hoopty.
Yeah, yeah, poofy painted clouds. I don't have any top secret hot rod motors melting down on the bench. Na, it ain't like that.
