Finally made it to my local HobbyTown to pick the unit up.

Oh

my

God !!

That turned out beautifully!!! Almost too nice to run.

The shocks of the Mugen Athlete come almost fully assembled - just add oil and springs. They are also anodized in the same purple. Both front and rear ends here completed. Front drive shafts are universals as standard. Rear wing mounts are sturdily attached; the rear wing would later be secured, rat...

4WD drive train in place. Unlike the other 1/8 buggies at the time, the Mugen Athlete opted for a straight line configuration of the center drive shafts, presumably for lowering transmission drag/losses, but sacrificing a little the position of the engine to be further away from the chassis centerli...

Mugen Athlete Team rolling chassis completed. Hope to source for a period correct engine and more option parts in the future. The body shell will be next.

I did find some parts from the online shop rcshop.net. Send them an email first to confirm parts availability. But I was ...

Here’s an update post to show where the truck is now that it’s back in my possession. I’ve already changed out the factory CZ-r head for a used Duratrax piece. I have a few more things I’d like to upgrade eventually but it will stay mostly as-is. The original goal for the truck was to envision what ...

I am so happy I ordered it when I did, as they are now going out of business, and all parts are sold out. It is very similar to the Trinity unit. I realized that I had the carbon ste...

Absolutely stunning build as usual

Wow! That is an incredible slider. Who makes that chassis?

This is a duke concepts dukomo yz10. The chassis, shock towers and topdeck are iridium. I will start a thread shortly of a teardown and cleanup.

Here's my RC10T..... 4
