Seems like I have been working on this for 10 years. I've always had major glitching issues. So after a complete electronics transplant from an SC10 its about done. Just need a battery cup and a gear cover. This was a DS Conversion kit that I decided to use with a gold pan "A" stamp chassis that I stupidly drilled for a stealth transmission. And when I built the car I purposely kept the 6 gear in the car. Its a black idler 6 gear with outdrive bearings. There is just something about the sound of the 6 gear that I really like. I also like the lower gear ratio combined with the small tires. Its got a P2K2 pro motor. And the tires are shiny from running it on the carpet in the living room. I need to get it out on the street and scuff them up after I get the battery cup installed. The reason I picked the Nova body is because I actually have a 69 SS This is one of my favorite shelf cars and just wanted to share.

that is sweet both of them. you should cut some stickers to put the Yenco stripes on the DS also, looks great.

I see you kept the original steering
My DS blew the steering posts when I racer on carpet

Yeah last night I was cleaning out my box and posting stuff on ebay and I saw some brand new looking steering linkage. "What is this?" I thought. Its the brand new steering for the DS, never even had ball studs put in it.

hehe that's funny you never used the DS steering ...lol

That’s a good point! I love the 6 gear, but could never really put my finger on why. I always thought it was the sexy shape.(Yes I think the 6 gear tranny is sexy. Bring on the Dr. Freud remarks). A 32 pitch spur and pinion would be a great match. Nice car.

Wow that is sweet both of them, I love Nova's my dad had about 7 of them when I was growing up, you did a real nice job with the RC10 I love it
