I present to you Project ‘Merica part 2. I figured what better way to celebrate heading into July with this beauty.

This is a project I've been working on for a long while - I bought the body back in 2011, and completed the paint job in 2015, but I've only just mated it to a chassis. As can be seen from this TamiyaClub link ( https://www.tamiyaclub.com/showroom_model.asp?cid=125501 ), the paint job is quite invol...

I never saw an official OK to post from the Fuhrer, so I hope we are cleared to go...

Ok, this is my restored Tamiya Astute. The Astute was my first real RC car. This is not the same car as I had as a kid, I grabbed this off eBay and restored it with new parts wherever I could. My RC backstory is my 2 best friends had an RC10 and a Jrx-2. We didn't live near attack so we would race o...

Absolutely beautiful work! Thank you very much for posting your build thread. You do amazing work! My "need" list to build one myself is adding up: -Ferrari front white sticker -2x Ferrari side logo stickers -2x Goodyear side stickers -2x front aluminum shock ends/cups -2x steering turnbuc...

Finalized the red re-purposed body/wing buggy, with some additional stickers:

Fabricated the front shock tower (Probably not the final version) Decided to move it rearward so it could bolt on the bulkhead.

You could use a taller shock tower and play with inner spacers for the right suspension travel? Yeah, that might be the way to go in the end if nothing else. I just wanted to have as low fron end as possible. The body will sit behind the bulkhead and I think it will look even more weird with tall s...

Windows were only removed for the Box art body to give it a realistic look for the photoshoot. That car may have never been run from what we know. But leaving the windows intact (uncut) gives the RC10 the best aerodynamic flow for running, and is what most every racer did.

Yet an other reference RC10 on the books.
Thanks for sharing!
