Well done, this Bosscat turned great and I really like the style of the paint job

Posting up a cool oddball this month, an early eghties Kyosho Toyota Hilux. You could get three versions of this platform, the Sand Skipper, VW Baja Bug and the Toyota Hilux. Special featsures of this platform is the gearbox with centrifugal clutch and pnaumatic tires inflated with a syringe (you c...

Hi there,

Here is a Storm wheel. Measures should be sort of ok.
From the back edge of the rim to the bottom of the castle: 12ish mm.
Front to surface of wheel nut: 32,5ish mm.

Good luck!

Interesting car! Really cool this historical gem found a good home

Just thought I would also post up some pictures on the comparison of the ayk/ae tires. Since I have an ayk Sidewinder it would be interesting to consult the well-known relationship between the two. As a predecessor to the RC10, the Sidewinder was going to share it's Good Year shoes with the RC10. Th...

A stand still for a while on the rebuild due to other projects. Back on the workbench with this car, a question on the shock cap gasket arose. In my RC10 parts I have different gaskets and old third-party O-rings (e.g. Hot Trick). In general the gaskets/seals orbit +/- round the three rings in the p...

Really cool car, and you've made it into a gem. Well done!

Lots of vintage rc goodies on four wheels

So now the dust has settled after the last Nordic Vintage Challenge, and the car returned safely home without broken legs or other injuries. It is crazy stable, but as expected a bit sluggish on a tight carpet track. My mid motor Tekin would probably have been a better choice https://www.rc10talk.co...

Very good win, and my favourite this month. Congrats!

1/12 is a clickbait for me. Thank you for posting this project! Want to see more 1/12 and should also do something about it myself...
Anyway, I also have this car and looking forward to follow this project with your special signature to your builds.

Fantastic build and really tasteful paint and sticker scheme

Good project you've got going! Big Bears are great fun and at times frustrating. It was my only non-racing car in the eighties and good fun to bring along for holiday trips when there were no tracks around. I don't have any to add on your tire question as it seems you've found the different off the ...

Your efforts are rewarded in a nice and clean build.
Also want to say I would put my vote in for NOT painting the chassis.
Looks very good as is
