I need some help remembering the details from back in the day. So I have an RPM kit still in the bags never opened and I just don't have any love for it as an RPM car. Does the RPM kit actually duplicate a certain "one off" car or are some of the pieces correct to use for some "one off" replica. Should I just sell it or trade it?
The one car I do love the idea of building is a Masami detroit replica. other than that the Curtis hand built is about the only one I have a woodie for. Feel free to point out other rare cars I should be considering.
The trickest car I built and ran (198?) was a carbon sandwich chassis that I lightened to well under 3lbs rtr
super quick but a bitch to tune and fragile
thanks for the advice

Re: what car do I build with a NIB RPM "worlds" kit
The RPM parts as far as suspension goes, were designed to emulate the 91' worlds winning car. Composite Craft made a double deck chassis that used those components only to make a very Masami style car.
One of the two designers if that ultramolded kit are a member here too-

Re: what car do I build with a NIB RPM "worlds" kit
yes, I had one of those too bitd, flipped the front around to put the tower in front, still have some of the og deck standoffs in my box. I never detailed it to be "like" masamis but that is how I am leaning. I guess it's just a matter of committing and begin the search for pieces. It was a good racer but (the double deck was more work) I switched to the JRX when those came out.
The other car I would think about was the Cox style trailing arm rear because I never had one of those. Something rc10 based but different, one off racer specials... any pics for inspiration would be appreciated.
The composite craft double decker, is that a difficult chassis to find? Anyone making replica bits and pieces?
thanks
