its so kinky...

i recently bought a chassis lot because it had some rpm front widearms and a mip tranny, bonus was a pink (but well used) chassis and nose plate. i put it together today from bits and pieces, had to cut the noseplate to rc10t specs, but i did a pretty good job with it. i broke one of my rules and took some shocks off a mostly completed project because i didnt have any spare truck fronts. i'll find a used set and strip/polish them to match the motorplate and nose brace tubes. the body is just a placeholder, but it kinda looks cool on it imo.

anyway, the stinky pinky:

i'm definitely gonna run it. i'm considering using a lipo/brushless setup, got some more reading on it before i commit.

whaddya think?

There is something I cannot put my finger on about the RPM front end that looks... sexy?
Some day I will have a full RPM car. Some day...

very nice Hoop! Are you gonna run it with the MIP tranny?

nope, i put a stealth in it.

Is that chassis pink from the factory?

Real men wear pink!

yes! there was also a fluorescent green!

Don't forget about red, althought it looks like a couple shades darker than the pink. I have a yellow and orange nose as well, so I have to believe they made chassis to match, but can't recall seeing one of either.

My first rc10 teamcar was just like that but different wheels n tires and i dyed all the white stuff red.Complete worlds suspension man itd soak up the track lol.DON

"stinky pinky", BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Thats saying has been around since I was a kid (very long time ago), but ever since I saw the show "Strangers with Candy", its THROWS me to the floor everytime I hear it!!!

Beautiful vehicle, especially being Stock that color. I love "different" stuff. Then, let it be old to boot. (drool)

I was starting to think those fluo chassis were deeply hidden in the closet of shame.

But I see you guys are coming out of the closet

These were really popular at the time Asso was getting big around the club I raced at.
Not really my thing but undeniable part of the asso history

that looks wicked!!!

there are pink,green and blue ones on ebay right now..........

Hey you just gave me an idea.... Are you actually using truck front arms? Does it make the front width the same as for the buggy?

I am hopefully going to be going for the pink one if I am not travelling when the auction ends.

Oh and superb car as always hoop'
