thanks for looking More pictures just added, please read and help if you can!

That's putting my RC10 Graphite/RPM World's '91 car to shame, and I haven't even cut the chassis nose yet...

Nice!



You might need to juggle shock shaft and body lengths to use the A&L shock tower with the W91 RPM arms.

Nice ride . I really dig the gold countersunk washers.

thanks

ofna 4mm 20pcs/pkg (assorted colors available) 8 bucks... ouch rip off
they make em for the big 8/32 screws too

Looking awesome, do you have some equally crazy wheels to go on this build?

Not crazy but at least they are aluminum

Here are some updated shots. If anyone can help... I guess during one of my very late night builds, I lost a shock. I have looked everywhere and can only conclude that it feel off my desk into the garbage and is now lost forever... WHAT A WASTE! Anyways, If anyone has a DEEP gold 1.02 vintage outside loading o-rings etc. shock body, I would surely pay or trade you for something... 4000 + parts (only 2 of those I guess, ugh ) I just need the body, no cap or guts.

I have heard the universals are rare... any thoughts?

Thanks for your help and for looking!

For a man with 4000+ plus, I am surprised you are missing a shock body.

Lookin good.

I had a brand new one but someone marked #2 on it in black perma-marker

Just kiddin' witcha pal. Car is looking awesome.

I don't know anything about the uni's but they sure are purty. Is that nickel plating??

i know its driving me nuts... i guess they were for trucks? i have no clue what associated used the 1.02 vintage style for if it wasn't trucks. anyways yeah i only one its stupid!


I don't know if the gold color on the universals is part of a nickel plating process... Its not 24K though!

Thanks for the comments guys!!!

I think the 1.02 bottom loaders were sold as an option only for road/oval/carpet. Or whatever you could figure out to do with them...

i think those universals were made by gpm, if i'm not mistaken.

The local LHS guru thought the first Associated universals were made for them by Yokomo... although I doubt they had the gold bling factor goin' on...

the universals are actually made for the RC10 by kyosho (option house said on the package). They are 1/4 standard axle but they use a metric nut, I think its 4mm. Not sure.

pretty neat car dude. i like the gold.
