Vintage Aftermarket RC10 Hop-Ups

Post by railey72 »

Here are a few products ads from old magazines. The Touch rear trailing arms, Fusion Chassis and Pro-track. I have seen other ads for Pro-track nerf bars. Never heard of the other two.

Damn I'd love to have a a few each of those Fusion Speed carbon-fiber tubs and Pro-Track rear aluminum bumpers!

I still remember when I was a little kid with an RC10 graphite, seeing the Fusion Speed carbon tub inside the display case of my LHS...

Classic. It looks like the guy with the race case is holding a KO Propo EX-5. I use one in my Midnight Pumpkin. Still works great.

That 300zx body is too sweet especially on those wheels. But isn't that a 280zx? Looks like it to me.

Those do wheels look hot on that 300zx.

Now I know how those touch arms work. I couldn't figure how you would hold the axle carrier becuase if you used the normal mount, the carrier would move too much as the suspension was compressed.
