I've wanted to build this for a while now... I've never found a set of those RCPS turnbuckles, hope you have better luck! Looking forward to the results!

before you get too far, you should talk to jake about milling the inside the tub and removing the 2 areas under the battery.

I studied every square inch of this car in that RCCA article when I was a kid. I practically wore out that magazine. Back in the day I was going to convert my original RC10 to Cliff's spec, but had no funds. :)

Anyway, I've created some high resolution pictures from that issue of RCCA and posted them on Flickr, click on the images to access the high resolution goodness.
