Like to share my latest RC10 collection, powdered coated 'Orange' Tub

Cool, I like the color. Orange has the right level of obnoxiousness to the eyes but a step below bass boat metal fleck!

Can you share more details about the mill work including it looks like the rear of the chassis where the suspension mounts was narrowed?

looks good but i have to ask. is it my eyes or are the rear shocks mounted to the front suspension?

your eyes would be correct.

Here is the closer look of the rear end!

The rear is narrowed to mount an RPM worlds suspension kit.

Flip the shocks man.

What are those rear wheels? Duratrax?

looking good man.

That's one thing that attracts me, narrowed rear looks sexy to me?

Yup! i will flip the shock thanks!

Yes! its a Duratrax wheels

I really like this car. Makes me wish RPM still sold the parts to build one as I would do it strait away.

As a Syracuse fan, I really like the orange chassis!!!

Looks very Halloweeny.

Are these the same rear arms RPM currently list on there web page? Also is that a standard RC10T front bulkhead? Cheers

Same here! I think the main/only problem with the RC10 is the short suspension arms (& slightly narrower track) compared with what is used on more modern buggies. The Stealth transmission allows the space for a narrower wishbone but it was never utilised by AE.... except on the Detroit prototype Stealth cars.... it always make me wonder why the features on those cars never made it to production. Two years later at the Worlds in Basildon & we were back to the original style cars & I think Associated were lucky to win.

This project looks great with the orange chassis - please tell me that you'll finish it off with a black bodyshell?

This is the body i got from the package its pre painted already with black and orange strips!

A very slow progress of my orange tub and some photos before i shipped in home!
