Excellent looking buggies tobbe, are they yours? Ops, haven´t been on here since a long time and I am sorry for my late reply (it´s not because of ignorance, I just totally forgot it :oops: Thx Shodog :D Yes, they are mine but I wouldn´t call them excellent, they are only restored on a very simply ...

how about this one on the front? it looks great. and, can I see a large picture? Oh yes, that´s the first picture I took of the car with the new rims and those fronts are Schumacher (I´ll look if I can find them again in this mess) :lol: But yes, those are very nice and yes, I´ll take a larger pic ...

The tires are from "Reely" - the "house-brand" of CONRAD, a german hobbystore. Am not sure if these are available outside Europe though!

the alloy wheel guy pargu200 showed me your pics a couple of months ago. looks stunning and, I'm guilty of making the wheels. here is the history http://www.rc10talk.com/viewtopic.php?f=35&t=7469 Wow, that´s really cool! I really like these rims, wonderful craftmanship and they simply look wond...

I saw a nose plate on ebay not long ago that was advertised as nip that was REALLY gold and shiny that looked like nothing I have ever seen. I don't know for sure but I would guess it was re-anodised, not very well IMHO, and repackaged. I wonder if this is the one you got? The one I got looks very ...

I just wanted to be sure that it´s ok without being afraid that the lynch-mob knocks on my door
thx for the kind words

Ok, thx a lot for the answer

Hi all :) As a newborn RC10-fan I don´t know that much about these wonderful cars yet and I am a little confused: Recently, I bought a NIP noseplate (is that the correct name? :oops: ) for my Gold Pan and when I got it, I noticed that the colour was very different than the original, goldish colour. ...

wow, that´s one great looking Turbo Scorpion there, Mike! Yes, those 5-spoke rims are quite hard to find in a good condition!
Congrats!

Hm...I don´t know really... ...I´ve heard about white parts turning purple after a while but maybe these can take it...

Hi Eau Rouge :) The differences are not many: The decals and the box as far as I know. The chassies is the same, at least on the earlier versions. In Europe, the Scorpion was released by Graupner and the latest "normal-Scorpion" came with the white 5-spoke TS-rims, red frictionshocks and d...

Thx all @a01butal: Yes, these are the SK-rims and I like them very much: nicely made, good workmanship!

Hi Bent :) No, I didn´t protect it with anything exept that I sanded the lexan very carefully and it seems that the black colour sticks very good on the lexan. I don´t think I will run this one and I don´t know if I would recommend the outside-painting on a runner, but as a...what did You say...&quo...

Hi all :) This is my first RC10-project and I posted it a while back as I got it. Now I´ve painted the body and was looking for something different and still "vintage-looking" so I chose Copper and flat-black. The black is painted on the outside and I kind of like the contrast between the ...
