Great work Chuck, the body looks awesome!
How's the rest of the car, is it a runner?

New ball studs.

Thanks to Rob Cutman at Custom Works for getting these to me so quickly.


... and they appear to be well made.

Awesome!

Wow! I just stumbled upon this very cool short video. :shock: 7LEhqs8CTTI And his Youtube channel contains many more videos of this and other iconic vintage RC's. https://www.youtube.com/user/ZeeshahMr/videos Bryan, if you're a member here, I hope you don't mind that I've posted these links. :D

Check out Maasaki’s (Masami’s Father) YouTube channel on his replica CAT build.First episode is the story of the buggy and among other things Talks about how KO quickly manufactured a servo for the 87 Worlds. Very interesting https://youtu.be/fIJdvk1wJ1M I agree completely! I've just finished watch...

My first memory of Masami was at one of our club races hearing one of the guys talk about this Japanese kid who just won the Worlds. He couldn't recall his name but he spoke about how the kid races using a stick radio and is so talented he can drive around the track in reverse and even drive with hi...

Jeff's right. Not only are those wheels a direct fit, but I think they look great on an Ultima Pro.
The style seems to go well with those angular body lines and graphics.

A lot of RC10 mid conversions that I've seen move the shocks and tower behind the axle and I think this can make it difficult find a body that ...

FWIW, I had one of these BITD. I ordered it from Tower Hobbies and it came with a Nissan truck body. I painted it white like box art, ran it on nitro for a while then converted it to electric then sold it. Mine had the brush guard and chevron tires just like yours. I never see these posted anywhere ...

Wow, what an awesome build!
Thank you for posting it here.
It's great to see how this car came together.

That Vette body is going to look great on this car.
Great choice for colors, by the way. Can't wait to see it finished.

I am in agreement, most modern buggy bodies don’t look good. I prefer the vintage rc car bodies like the RC10 Mirage. However, there is one vintage rc car body that I have never liked—the Parma Eagle. It’s so ugly! Well, I strongly disagree. :evil: I have a Parma Eagle fitted to one of my prized RC...

Welcome aboard!
My racing years spanned from about '86 to early '94 and I'm holding onto hope that I can pick it up again someday.

That's an interesting looking RC10 in your avatar.

Merry Christmas, y'all.
