At last the rebuild got finished for this time and rounded off with a new body and wing. Went for a dragon theme on Turbo Mirage from Penguin, without any additional geometrical lines. Fading translucent yellow in front to orange at the rear end. Dragon painted in blue on the inside of the yellow to...

Congratulations, and a big thank you to the crew keeping this site going!
The years are really flying, but this is the no 1 time tunnel to get that same feeling of rc car joy from the youth.
Even now I'm just about to turn 50... Crazy stuff.

Such a tasty blend of parts, electronics and body work
Thank you for sharing in this interesting build thread!

RPM ’91 Worlds on black tub. Narrow RPM setup (long arms) back and front. RPM rear carriers and arm mounts, stealth transmission brace and the RPM team car rear bulkhead. The front comprises 10T bulkhead and nose plate in forward position, RPM spindles, tower and brace tubes. A&L chassis stiffen...

Fast forward, and after a couple of years rest, the car got a rebuild this year and is yet again ready for the track. Just some smaller changes to former setup. Aiming for ride heights 20 mm +/- 2 mm it still sits with 1.02 shocks front and rear. A rather big change since 2015 is the yellowing of th...

Repro rear tower, with new hole pattern to accommodate the RPM #7034 rear bulkhead. RPM Worlds rear arms #8017 and 1.5 deg mounts #8021 (set with 1.5 and 3 degrees), narrow chassis rear carriers #8019 and stealth transmission brace #7047. Fitted an Avid slipper to a stock stealth trans. Axles are CV...

Thanks :D Since this is an old build I also know that I grew fond of how it's driving. There is no harm in stiffening that flimsy upper lip followed by the long configuration nose forward. So, to further contribute to stiffness in the longitudinal direction, I once again ended up with A&L. In th...

Mounted up the 10T nose plate in forward position along with the 10T #7207 bulkhead. RPM Worlds front arms #8001, Spindle blocks #7005, Worlds brace tubes #8015, and Worlds front tower. A&L steering assembly. Shim between chassis and bellcranks is 1.50mm (to get sufficient clearance), and 1mm be...

Nearing a vintage race I've decided to dust off an old build of mine and let it stretch its legs. I've not posted this car before so even if it is an old and to this forum a fairly plain build, I throw it in here. At first I could not remember exactly when I built it, but opening the folder with the...

Reminds me of the "Slicker spokes" by Imex, but not a 100% sure...

Thank you very much for your summary. Managed to get hold of the shocks you can see in the picture, but as mentioned before I've given up the unthreaded for a SWB box art build. Just have to sort out a nice project for the once I have. As per usual a new project can start with a set of turnbuckles a...

Congratulations on the Brimod shocks! After following the development and "soon to come announcements" in the magazines for what felt like an eternity, I was eagerly waiting for the swb to arrive in Norway. I managed to get my claws on one from the first batch and have ever since been a CA...

Tasteful build of an awesome car - thank you for sharing!

Ahh, what a beauty! Black theme is killer and the Yokomo wheels and TH adapters are just a super match to the chassis.

Thanks. Managed to get hold of a new chassis set almost ten years ago, so it's been around for a while. Then slowly collecting rpm parts +++. The steering is the translucent ball bearing version. Nice to see you got hold off CC towers and battery strap! I've not settled on what towers to use. Also w...
