Almost all my posts will be edited because I know what I want to write, but my fingers always hit the wrong keys.

dang...im just now going through the threads to check out the pics of the original stuff and they are gone...site that the pics were on is no more. snooze and lose I guess.
do you think its a bad twilight zone episode for team associated to be re producing a buggy from yesteryear that is capable of beating their latest and greatest production buggy?

Yup; the o-ring seals on the prototype were bad and running the shocks upside down prevented the oil from leaking out as fast.

As for the shocks....I've heard the seals were not the best yet then and they leaked less when mounted upside down. To the rest of the thread.....wow. Just really cool to see how the dude(s) that did it did it. A lot of attention to detail and patience. It's just frickin' rad.

SteveK beat me to it.
Hope you're doin' something fun.

Really enjoyed this thread thanks for posting always interesting to see pre production cars. Amazed how similar the prototype RC10 is to the actual car.
