Top Models Hybrid!
Top Models Hybrid!
I'm quite a fan of this car and have spent a while trying to rebuild one. http://www.rc10talk.com/viewtopic.php?f=7&t=2623
I've virtually there, the bodyshell is rarer than rare and I haven't managed to track one down yet, and it does have the optional Hydradrive. Also the wing mount is wrong, but this is to fit the current shell (Losi XX).
Still I'm pretty proud to have built this out of all new parts, i hope you like it

Every time I see an RPM chassis, I get more excited about finishing mine! Nice work!

Sweet and haven't you been busy
Experience is that marvelous thing that enables you to recognize a mistake when you make it again.

Re: Top Models Hybrid!
lol - I'd argue it isn't an RC10.. but hey, I don't care where it lives as long as you all enjoy it I have a few more treats to go online when I get another nice day to photograph them.scr8p wrote:fixed.Asso_man! wrote:your ride belongs to the RC10 section, not here

I noticed the HPI rear wheels are not the same as the Hybrid - it had 2.2 five spokes.. hmmm... didn't tower have HPI fitment white 2.2 rear wheels??
