Well, this is my fully modified runner. well, not 'soooo' modified What I did was to retain the original suspension concept with minor modification of the geometry (unlike a conversion of 2 shocks to 3 shocks like the RPS, or 4 shocks, etc..). The original suspension did not work at all, mainly the Kydex chassis was way soft and the suspension pivots flex horribly. Not to forget the original shocks leak more oil than I put into it. With some improvement in material, carbon fiber and FRP upgrades, the suspesion actually works quite well!! Soft tires also help the suspension too. But I never dare to jump this car, too precious

This one has:

FRP chassis, RC10 wing, front lower alloy arms (not in picture), carbon fiber suspension pivots at all corners, custom front and rear roll bars, HPI threaded shocks, modified tamiya F201 rear suspension pivot, Yokomo 05RS turbo motor (flat can lik Trinity midnight), mini bumper, yokomo turnbuckles for the rear suspension rods, carbon fiber rear suspension mount, graphite motor mount, lowered battery mounting bracket (5mm), new yokomo wheels, duratrax tires...

Drives like a dream.

Hope you like the photos

You'd fit right in with the local vintage racers... but then you HAVE to jump also

I am chicken, I only run these old cars like a 1/12 pan car

cool, looks and sounds like an interesting build..look after her thats the way

One thing I was astonished: the number of ball bearings. More than 20 for such a small car....

Here are the close up of the suspension modification.

Nice looking car. Can I get some more pictures of how the front sway bar attaches?

Cheers

This is a front view of the roll bar, hope this help, I know it is very dark but I am no good with camera

photos updated.

Congratulations!! Your rig is absolutely fantastic!
You did a lot of work for improving the strength and the looks, and the result is A++!!
I would never use it, at least only as a pan car...

Thanks for the comment. I only use it as a pan car. I run my shelf cars from time to time.
