Showed up today.

Well, I was pretty excited about this until I couldn't find a set of new wheels and stripping the body. I tried paint remover and ezy off on the body and it didn't touch it so I became discouraged

I think I'll just wet sand it, fill the scratches and paint it.

Those tires should definitely be a little easier on it. Those giant meats were cool, but has to be hard on that trucks internals.

First round of wet sanding done. I will probably prime, fill, and "block" the body twice and call it good. I tried to stay off the belt line as best I could so hopefully it's still crisp

Looks kinda cool as is ! Just add a faded red odd wing and some rust and its there

Special build to my brother (coxbros1) and me. We raced against this actual car in the late 80s and always really liked it. and called the guy that owned it and the track back then in next town over. He still had it! We bought it immediately and did a complete resto. All original except body and ser...

Looks kinda cool as is ! Just add a faded red odd wing and some rust and its there :D Funny you say that, my wife found it on the dining room table this morning and said it looks cool, and if I could leave it as is and just clear it. I laughed and said ummm... no, it still needs paint. She asked wh...

This thing is ending up cleaner than I originally thought it would. I am happy with how it is sitting. I have taken it as far as I can for now, as I am waiting for a body, wheels / tires, and batteries (which are still open at this point). I will start a new thread with all its "glamour shots&q...

NIB Green Machine!

A real inspiration for my build.

Well done!

Paint scheme influenced by the original RC10 Championship Edition manual. This Mirage SS body from oldrc.com is soo distorted... I remember reading about a smashed body that was used to make a plug for repro bodies... I’m starting to think this is the one. Oh well! Need some retouches in stripe line...

Pro-line Ambush 4x4. 1:25 scale crawler. Fashioned & painted after my 1:1, 1st generation (1966) International Harvester Scout 800. Although I lost the scale bumper mounted KC Daylighters. Top and windshield were scratch built from styrene. Body is molded Lexan. Chassis is steel ladder rails &am...

So I get asked fairly regularly about Bolink bodies that fit the Team Associated RC10DS. So if nobody is offended I thought I would post in this section the official list that Bolink had on fit for RC10DS. Some are bodies made by others. Some I can't find who has. Most of them are oval racing bodies...

How soon will the bodies be available for the lower towers? The BL2284 is currently on the restoration shelf along with the non lowered BL2305. They will probably get out around start of March. The others are not even a thought yet. Production on newly acquired forms is currently on hold while prod...

I have to say that viewing this on the PC instead of the phone is so much nicer. The colors are superb...I can only imagine how much nicer the body will look once the decals are placed. Even more when the chassis is underneath it...oh man...this is like waiting for Christmas to arrive!!! :D Thank y...
