Was given my first RC10 chassis in a bit of a state, and now after a bit of cleaning, dyeing and cutting and drilling I've got a runner (well nearly!) with a shortened chassis ready for a VW Beetle body - who could resist after seeing scollins masterpiece.
Check page 2 for the finished car with body and wheels!!
Just waiting for my wheel adaptors and gear cover to arrive, then the chassis is done. Currently in the process of cutting and painting the shell Baja style.
Hope you like, and big thanks to scollins for the inspiration

So, guys, You really did like the RC10 Scorcher quite a bit more than I originally thought if youre all chompin at the bit to build one...........
I may build a second one ...but much crazier than the first

an srb front end with an mip swing axle rc10 rear end would be the bomb. get some longer arms made up for the front end...

Ya he started it, Im working on a few right now , Just got the bug body yesterday
Any one used the HPI body or the proline? Do they fit as nice as the parma?

Nearly sorted by body out now, just waiting for a cockpit to be delivered. Once I have that and sorted the wheels out I'll be off to the beach
This body is by a UK company - Kamtec. Will cut the body posts down once I've fitted wheels and decided on ride height. Oh yeah, got to decide on the aerial placement, want it on the back really like a Sand Scorcher.
Any comments?

Looking good man. I like the split rear window on that body. I've got to post a pic of mine up.

Cheers! Looking forward to seeing your bug
And I've just paid for some wheels from Sharkman - decided to go with original 3 spokes, was originally going to fit Sand Scorcher wheels.

Low Profile Servo

Hey all of you RC10 "HACKERS"....
instead of the upside down servo mount, you might want to consider using a low profile servo in front of the batteries.
Like I did 4 my 7-cell conversion below.
