I’ve been working on this chassis sporadically for the last 4 years. This car is very near and dear to me. It was my first ever touring car I bought back in 1996 and I had to really hustle and save my pennies to afford it. It's had a lot of use and most parts are damaged in some sort of fashion. Ove...

Thanks for the compliments on this car. I came across some pics of my pro2 before I sold it to my neighbor. http://i247.photobucket.com/albums/gg131/shodog1/HPI%20RS4%20Pro2/76677862-284B-4D1A-BEB9-065874FD8760_zpsut9dzqqv.jpg http://i247.photobucket.com/albums/gg131/shodog1/HPI%20RS4%20Pro2/5DE6BE6...

This build has made me realize just how much time we spend on these projects. I think the dampers took me a solid 3 hours to do. From striping to polishing and then rebuilding the bottom loaders with new O-Rings. http://i247.photobucket.com/albums/gg131/shodog1/RC10%20Ascot%20Sprint%20Car/ECE927F2-B...

Love all the work you’ve done so far. Do you plan to make any to sell?

Andy still sells the painted Renegade though his eBay account.

Dhawk makes some aluminum ones. However it will just transfer the break to the next weakest part. Gotta stay off those boards.

I did a little bit of reconfiguring on this buggy. I bought the Dhawk parts for this build so long ago that he didn’t offer the arms yet. Since then I was able to get a set of the arms and a set of his aluminum damper collars and spring perches. Also added a set of Finely’s aluminum shock towers. St...

Got a fair bit of mock up work done. I’m basically rebuilding from scratch. I had to hunt through all my parts boxes to come up with what you see here. I still need to get a few small items which I have on order. Built the Rogue Element transmission with 48 pitch gears and Jammin Jay diff tube. The ...

With all the quarantine talk I elected to R/C and chill this weekend on a few projects. One of them was this buggy I bought and initially built a few years ago. This buggy was worth all the ordeal it took to get. One day while surfing Craigslist I come across a clapped out RC10 with Tecnacraft wheel...

I’d be interested in that piece

I found these parts but been too busy to install. I believe I’ve got the aftermarket center piece but still on the hunt for the hpi branded one

I want one of those Ghia’s.

The front arms are different and use a different ball cup. Those are usually worn on the vintage rides and are not interchangeable with the retention with having to change the arms also

Hard to say what the longevity of that composite motor plate would be. I imagine if it got real bad you could run a slightly longer screw with a small thin 4/40 nut like the ones used on the steering balls. But as incredible has said, it’s strong enough for the shelf

Getting all my parts organized for my Ascot sprint car overhaul. I’ve been saving up parts over the last few years. A vintage JG chassis. Dhawk aluminum parts to replace most of the plastic. I plan to take all the thorp 48 pitch gears, jammin jay diff tube and aluminum bearing carriers from another ...
