I believe the different your seeing in photo is because the tub chassis itself is powder coated and the nose plates are anodized. The Nose plate and tube are both anodized. Its what Romulus22 says, Associated's anodizing was never consistent. If i had 50 blue anodized tub chassis they would be know...

Actually I believe I snagged that from one of the back issue scans of RCCA on gomachv site. Oh and thank you very much gomachv for saving them on your site for everyone ! I am always thumbing through them.

I have the real first issue.. and a complete RCCA collection of the first 10 years..1986-96. A gold mine of the golden era of R/C! The ads are just as cool as the articles.. https://i.postimg.cc/L40qm6yC/0-B75-E147-1-D54-48-A3-8721-08-E14-C1-C7-EBA.jpg It would definitely be awesome to see yours sc...

I’d really like to get a set of period tires for these wheels, any suggestions ? Looks like both the rears and fronts are 1.7

This is from the mini-mags catalog that RC10resto linked. In the figure it shows to cut off the bead seat, stating tamiya and proline tires to be trimmed with hot shot tires being the exception.

Came out great ! Looks fantastic.

Fantastic submissions everyone ! So difficult to vote for only one.

This ones definitely an easy answer for me. It’s my scratch built Slash 2wd. Proline Pro2 chassis,RPM,and a couple traxxas parts. Ceramic bearings throughout. A Castle mamba max pro esc with a 2400kv 550 can. I run it on 4s with mod1 gearing and it is absolutely wicked fast and powerful ! Every time...

It’s been setup many ways since I built it years ago. At one point I had it setup for speed runs with a Mamba Monster, 2200kv 1/8 system running 6s on Jaco foams. Fastest it went was 88mph, nerve racking to say the least. Unfortunately my older 3s packs were holding it back.... should’ve done 100 !!...

Damn that came out awesome !!
Gives STEALTH a entirely new meaning for an RC10.

I’m with ya’ that’s clean looking. Really nice touch.

Nice addition going on courtesy of GoMachV.

It’s looking and coming together very nice, well worth the effort.

That looks awesome !! The machine turned gold leaf look is amazing with that paint job ! Very well done indeed.

Ended up changing out the aluminum front and rear shock towers for originals so as to fit under this beautiful box art Jconcepts original GT body painted by Andy.
