Brad Reelfs RC10 Replica /'93 FL Winterchamps Winner

[scr8p]

if better shots are out there of the car from the side, with the wheels not rotating , it will be easy to know. the proline wheels have slots outside of the axle hole.

I think I have both NIP either way. Looks like your going to have to order me 2 AE Turbo Mirages to replace the 2 un-scooped shells that I uncovered

[scr8p]

i can do that.

i picked this up off of ebay last night to use for the build. looks pretty clean and untouched, other than the battery box being moved forward (which i would've done myself anyway). hopefully it's nice in person too...... fingers crossed.

Haha! I was going to bid on that, lucky I did not step on your toes! Gently run, just needs chassis and tires!

well, as long as the plastic stuff isn't all road rashed up, i don't care about the tires, and the chassis will be getting re-ano'd.

It was Brad who helped create the BJ4 with Jason (Ruona). Their design has been refined into what is today's B44.2.

Yep that is what I was thinking but it's been a day or two since them days.

The team car I won the other day showed up today. It's in pretty decent shape.

I can't help but think of Stryper when I look at the body.

Stryper!! Big hair, black and yellow spandex... What were we on in those days?? Although I looked styling in my parachute pants..

Steve hooked me up with one of his dad's old videos that had coverage of this race. I had my fingers crossed that there may be some "good" shots of brad's car on it. Unfortunately, no such luck. But it was cool to see the race though.

i'm not holding out much hope that more will come along. i may have some luck on one of the old gene husting videos, they have helped me with other builds of mine. but i think the newest one i have is like 1991.

I can help...

Oh snap! I don't think it's coincidence the username and pic

Welcome, and nice first post

[BradR]

for the most part it looks like a straight forward build, though i'm sure it won't be completely accurate. the body of shot and race stats tell a lot:

purple ano, front shock tower looks like a factory tower dyed black, rcps turnbuckles and body, molded neon yoke wing, novak hpc esc, what looks to ba a novak ner-3fm receiver, 1700 scrc batteries, reedy mr. s motor, and the tires are losi ht rib fronts and proline 8083 rears. it also state he used an airtronics radio, so i will just assume that he used an airtronics servo too.

You pretty much nailed it. The servo was a Futaba 131SH. The only "special" parts were white Composite Craft bellcranks (I got those from Ruffy) and machined shock pistons. I still have those parts.

I've been planning to build a replica for myself (the original is long gone), but I was surprised to find this thread. If you haven't done the purple anodizing yet, let me know. Maybe we can combine parts in one batch.

Thanks! I'm a big fan of the website. I've been following for some time, and finally decided to post.
