My Vintage RC10 Racer

[city.life]

For this build I'll start with a “Cadillac” roller and finish with vintage hop up parts. Ultimately, I want it to be similar to a racer from the early 90s.

Parts so far:
Cadillac roller
Andy’s wide track front arms
Andy’s light weight rear arms
Dirt burners Thorp turnbuckles
JRX2 XX rear tires
Proline knobby front tires
Aluminum Tamiya Fox wheels adapted for RC10

Up next:
Custom machined chassis
Stealth transmission

Wow, very nice! Love those wheels. Is it going to be a shelfer or will you run it?

I may end up racing this one. If I do, of course I'll use newer components. For example a Brushless 17.5 system, different wheels, and re release shocks that I assembled this morning.

The body is inspired by the classic 1980's video "The Winning Edge."

Awesome

Looks great, one of my favorite paint schemes. Also used on the the now discontinued Pactra paint stand artwork!

Decided to make this build a display car so I’m keeping original shocks. The Remaining hop-up parts will be old school as well.

I’m going to replace the chassis with this one that I found on eBay. The seller reports it was given to him by J.D. Beckwith. Well used and custom machined. Clearly a “racers” chassis.

Upgraded the transmission to stealth, which I believe is from a team car.

Saw that chassis on eBay. Good score!
