Wow thank you so much Curtis, one of the best compliment I could hope for. Glad you like it!

Yikes, a combination of dust and oil on virgin RPM parts... I hope you manage to suck out the oil from the plastic fantastic pores I'll be back here to comment in 2022.

I was recently in contact with Masaaki Hirosaka through email and this popped up in the conversation at some point and wanted to share it with you all. Here is his note about the prototype you can see below: "There is a prototype that I made last in Yokomo for the World Championship race. This ...

Looking good there, can't wait to see the assembly! Richard Royall is indeed the owner of RPM. A few years ago I was able to buy a bunch of OEM parts directly from the factory and actually asked Richard to sign a chassis along with a letter proving the signature 8). I've always loved their products!...

I decided to give it a go and mounted a servo, PK Corally belt tensioner, gold alloy front lower arms, front bumper and spec...

Now thanks to the F’@&) COVID-19 crap, I finally managed to b...

Getting there slowly on the front end.
I replaced the white stock bulkhead with a one piece RPM one. Added a MIP zero maintenance bellcranks and replaced the former clear fibreglass shock tower with a black died one.

Made some progress on the rear end today and finally got this damn rack to work by using spacers, longer screws, etc. It now works butter smooth although it feels very fragile.

I then swapped the white stealth tranny that was in there with a black one. I adapted a gear cover and used some cloth with a sticky side to better seal it.
