It turns out that the Orion battery is actually a RC-1700 (late '97) pack and not SCRC. Fortunately I had a spare pack of Trinity EXR178 Ex-Tech cells.
I ran those 1700 trinity cells in 96 too at the worlds...car is great as is but would be "more correct" with the red 1400 cells too
If I had a stock motor in there I would have used my red 1400 SCR's, but since I am using a high end mod the black cells were the best choice. Looking at old races in RCCA most if not all the top drivers ran black cells with mod motors. I know I did when I was racing during that time frame.
The vintage Autographics number decals arrived today. At this point I am calling it done for now. Thanks to all that offered advice and contributed parts to the build.
I've been following a lot of different threads here and I really would like to build a Worlds/OIN car. I ran across this on Ebay last month:
I really wanted it but I was outbid in the end. I later found out that it is a Composite Craft '91...

Some new updates, I converted to the bigger (1/2 ) bearing RPM rear hubs, a new set of 3/16 CVDs (I thought I ordered shiney but missed the fine print! :evil: ), Brand new rere motor plate, RPM motor guard, GT axles, B4 wheels and PinPoint tires. I...
Admittedly going to be a long while until I get into this one, still working out exactly what I want to do with it. C5A92806-54BD-485C-B3E3-C0C7D9E0EE3A.jpeg 0BA8FDC2-4871-4BA4-BAF1-B6DA66345508.jpeg DB2881C1-9CC4-4534-8453-CF8FA7371D6D.jpeg...

Are you wrenching on this one still? My interest is piqued. :D
RPM Worlds front springs RCCA 05-1993.JPG
Btw probably the only description I’ve ever seen of the springs short of medium and soft.
A all new complete RC10 Composite Craft / RPM World 1991 , I had an Hydradrive and the Yokomo wheel adapter 8)
On this one I use a Houge Enterprise steering system !
I'm in the middle of building a composite craft/RPM worlds buggy and trying to figure out the best body to use on it. It looks like the ultramolded chassi preference is a losi xx body, but I haven't seen if there is something recommended for the...

Possibly. I've got other stuff I want to pick up that is higher priority right now.
Heres a car I have been gathering parts for for the better part of 5yrs. As you can see its not a real CC chassis. I have a real one that is beat to hell that I used as a template to craft this one out of a different NIP chassis I had laying around....

you can use any rc10 rear tower with the rpm rear bulkhead. just drill 2 new upper holes in the tower to line up with holes in the bulkhead.
Here we go again. I've had this NIP Composite Craft Worlds RC10 chassis for a few years. I was torn between building it vintage or modern. Since my first CC RC10 is mostly vintage with some modern touches, I wanted to stick true to one direction on...

I don’t know man I’m thinking that mini bumper has had that header card since day one…. Not seeing any other staple holes in it. The true tell will be if there’s more holes in the bag :D
I looked at it closely. The header card and staple appear...
Hey guys, just wanted some opinions with what you have done to the rear bulkhead to make it fit with the a-arms. Also I am running into some clearance problems with the upper deck hitting the rear shock tower... what did you guys do? Any suggestions...
Last post
couple different examples. all black rig shows stock tower and just clearancing the area under the upper deck screws, keeping the gap overall nice and tasty (imho). second pic shows how little of the stock bulk really needs to be trimmed.
