No matter how much I tell myself I'm out of this hobby - I seem to keep finding a way to build things.
Yes ... the chassis really is that bright. I stripped and anodized the chassis and shocks a bright orange. Installed a MIP Legends 4WD conversion kit on it. Then I fabricated some front wheel adapters to fit the aluminum sprint car wheels to the front pinned axles. Haven't quite decided on the body and paint scheme yet, but at least the chassis is done.

Alex, you are the Godfather of awesome R/C's. "Every time I thought I was out, they pull me back in."
I've thought I was done a bunch of times now. I've just come to accept that I'm a junkie and there is no 12 step program for R/C.
That 4wd is awesome. I'm curious to see what you top it off with. Hey, when you finally decide that you are done with R/C, you know who to email when you're ready to unload some of those gems.

It was an ebay auction from awhile back and I'm not sure who it was. I have been sourcing parts for the last year in order to finish or start builds and things are kind of a mess right now. If I run across another set I will let you know.
Hi guys, just wondering what year these came out and if there are different versions of the belt conversion sets? What do you need extra to fit one of these to an RC10 buggy?

you just need big extra money :lol:
And to beat me to it. They are always sold before I get my offer in.
Here's another project I wanted to share with you, bought the car from a member here a long time ago and took it out for a quick cleaning and inspection yesterday. The car came with a few goodies, heaps of tires and wheels (including a pair of early...

That rough chassis already has character, mixing well-chosen options of different brands, kind of like an original hot-mod. I can't help but liking the rat-style rod's and custom cars. A fine example:
Hi
After a long layoff, I'm working on my MIP 4WD conversion. So far I have both front and rear gearboxes and the cable installed. I had to bend the front chassis braces, and now it looks like I will need to add spacers to join them to the front...

Here is a pretty great early Cable conversion. One gentleman mentioned they thought they might have seen this photographed at a Southern California track. Any help tracking down old photos of it running would be great. Special Thanks to...
