Andy's Pro Race restoration with Pro-Steer rack and pinion
Found this on eBay a little while back and hopefully I can get it back to the way it once was in it former glory

Re: Andy's Pro Race restoration
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!

Re: Andy's Pro Race restoration
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 wasteorangemazda wrote:Very cool!

Re: Andy's Pro Race restoration
Got it all stripped down and cleaned. I washed everything b with super clean and gave the chassis a rub down with some olive oil

Re: Andy's Pro Race restoration
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.aeiou wrote:That should clean up nicely. The steering and axles are a cool twist on this setup.

Re: Andy's Pro Race restoration
The wheels are cleaning up really well. A bit of sand paper and A LOT of elbow grease goes along way

Nice!
If you want to get rid of that pesky MIP trans, I'll get rid of it for you!

Re: Andy's Pro Race restoration
Here is a nice little added touch my friend polished up holding off on the rears for now to let my fingers heal a bit from sanding and polishing the front rims

Nice chassis there. Rear axles are Raborn, good luck finding spares...Twistedaxle wrote:Thanks! So far so good, I wish I knew what axles they were so I could find some replacement shafts.aeiou wrote:That should clean up nicely. The steering and axles are a cool twist on this setup.

Re: Andy's Pro Race restoration
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

Re: Andy's Pro Race restoration
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.
