Very cool!

I went a slightly different direction with mine. More if a WOIN build. http://www.rc10talk.com/viewtopic.php?f=36&t=36923&start=15

I kinda wish I would have went with some trailing arms though.

I look forward to seeing your build!

That should clean up nicely. The steering and axles are a cool twist on this setup.

looks good man! I debated pretty heavily on making mine a 10t but I just couldn't let those trailing arms go to waste :D

Next is to give those wheels a bit of a cleaning. They have quite a bit of scuffs and a ton of excess glue on them, I'm going to try the acetone approach and see what happens

Thanks! So far so good, I wish I knew what axles they were so I could find some replacement shafts.

The wheels are cleaning up really well. A bit of sand paper and A LOT of elbow grease goes along way Image

Nice chassis there. Rear axles are Raborn, good luck finding spares...

This cleans up nicely.

Me too - really liked the SP1, slider axles, trailing arm and steering rack combo! And a pro racer... such a desirable car :-)

That did clean up nice - looks great! I used the MIP trans on my Andy's builds as well. I think it's the perfect match for the Pro Race setup.
