There was The Hornet, The Super Hornet, The Comical Hornet, The Hornet Jun Wanatabe, The Hornet Supreme... Now the Hornet has more sting with the infusion of a mid motor position RC10B4 gearbox, independent rear suspension, and a 10.5T brushless motor with The Hyper Hornet! 😳 Anytime Baby! Build thr...

Added quite a few more parts to the chassis.
Tie rod ends are new but most other pieces, except the hardware, is still original.
Waiting on front bumper support.
Undecided on wheel/tire combo.

My Mid-motor B1, B4, B6 V2. Lots of trial and error, but in the end a very satisfying build. Off and on about 10 months to complete. At the time my lengthiest build by far. A full build thread is here for the whole story https://www.rc10talk.com/viewtopic.php?f=35&t=45187 mm52.JPG mm61.JPG Chuck

Need to get a motor sensor cable and change the ESC battery connector, but otherwise it's ready for some running. Added a Futaba S132H servo and R152JE receiver to go with the Tamiya brushless ESC and 10.5T motor. I might tinker with trying to get equal tie rod length for the steering, but it's fine...

Very nicely done we are going to need running video though

Storage boxes, more on order, nice to set up a box for each car, and others for screws, shocks, esc's etc.
Keeps imperial and metric apart, consoles my OCD.

Yes, I understand that requirement. If only I had a racing loop in my yard with a jump to test the suspension.

Awesome thanks

I finally summoned the nerve to try the new paints on a body , I've had this Mini Mustang body waiting for 6+ months , these are candy colours faded in with chrome on the sides and aircraft fuselage aluminium through the centre section then all backed with black , the chrome colours show every littl...

Ok swapped out rear tires to match the fronts.

Put most of the car together. Still need an engine and some parts…

The heavy hitters are up top, but I'll throw some fodder in. ECX Torment, bought as a slider. Mods limited to AE Rival MT10 big bore shocks, RPM bellcranks, Hot Racing aluminum steering blocks, and steering turnbuckles. Avid S/C wheels. Schumacher front tires and JConcepts rears. Electronics: Futaba...

I've been working on a podcast series for a while now - the early episodes picked up a lot of Australian R/C history, but now moving further afield. Recent episode featured Robin Schumacher and upcoming eps over next few weeks have some more international flavour. It's been great fun doing the resea...

Got the Am-Pro upper and lower chassis braces installed. They are a little awkward to install but not terribly so.
Combined with running long screws all the way through, these really help stiffen up the chassis.
