Thought about putting this in the "What Did You Get In The Post Today" thread but... naw, cool enough to deserve it's own thread


First Build of the Month then Build of the Year now Readers Ride of the Month in RCCA... Congratulations!

In 1988 Team Associated celebrated their success of having won all of the 1/12 IFMAR championship races held throughout the decade, which included: 1982 - Kent Clausen - RC12i – Grand Hotel in Anaheim, California 1984 - Tony Neisinger - RC12i - Herning Kongrescenter in Herning, Denmark 1986 - Tony N...

While the TQ10 and the Graphite were Associated's first carbon chassis RC10, their plate style design had been produced as an upgrade by various companies for years prior. Fibre-Lyte however, was one of only a few companies (Including Fusion Speed in Brea California and Buffalo Composite Designs in ...

Three years before the carbon tubs from Fibre-Lyte (Stokesley England) and Buffalo Composite Designs (Lubbock Texas) came to market there was the Fusion Speed Graphite Tub Chassis.

Top turnbuckles have the Punisher look, could be authentic... or could be from any one of the numerous companies that make the exact same style these days.

in 1987 Traxxas would bring their second vehicle to market, a 1/10th 2wd electric off-road buggy simply called, the Cat. Just as with their previous 4wd Wild Cat Traxxas turned to Blue Bird Model Mfg. Co. Ltd. of Tiawan to import this new 2wd model. Blue Bird supplied Traxxas with their version of t...
