Here is a modernised Graphite RC10 with long 3D printed front and rear arms to accommodate Yokomo long driveshafts and low profile wheels. It has a few twists including the reversed rear shock tower to have rear shocks more in line. Steering rack is also 3D printed and allows a perpendicular servo m...

Wazzup guys? Been missing you all. Cool to see these lovely cars here and knowing that the BOTY is still running. I just casted my two votes

You speak too quick young Jedi, that was without counting in Mr Dingle’s awesome creations!
Somehow I always lost when entering this Fibre-Lyte prototype.

RC10 Fibre-Lyte prototype.

Well that didn’t hold very long first flip and KAPOW!
I guess I need to find a better solution for rear hubs and universals. Might go the RPM/Dynotech route for the rear. Has any new solution been found recently with off the shelf/easy to source parts to use modern wheels?

Looking good but I liked that blue tub. Is it a factory one?

Not to mention the early Cadik

Cool build David. I'm keeping my fingers crossed that the printed parts hold up for you. Thanks Jason, I will report back here soon hopefully as spring is coming and the track is reopening. I haven’t had any track time for 15 years so you can be sure these parts will be properly tested :mrgreen:

thank you. The front hubs are Yokomo, TH-1 is the reference for the rears, not sure for the fronts. They are also available at Shapeways from 3DRC.

Sacrilege, blasphemy! Maybe Scr8p would disagree here but I’m ready for an argument.
Kidding aside both look great but the paint on the RC10 shell is just more gorgeous. And “tub” for French people leads to a good laugh as it means penis in slang lol, which lead to a fun comment on Facebook

Here is a body off shot with its cute brother. Further down my son’s runner.

Quick update here as this beast is now almost ready to turn some laps next spring. I recently offered a runner to my younger son and we plan to have fun at a track nearby that recently opened. I’ll make sure to post some videos here afterwards. I’m really happy with overall result and the car seems ...

Sadly I bought the wrong Yokomo universal driveshafts. These are rear zc-421 and I need zc-422 which are about 5mm longer. If anyone wants to swap a pair of new zc-421 for a pair of new zc-422, I would be all over it.

Thank you so much! I’m really honoured to win this year’s contest with this special tribute build to Gene Husting. It was a very close win though and I want to congratulate all other contenders with their beautiful entries. The idea of a calendar would be fantastic with a part of the proceedings tha...
