I've never seen another set like them either. They go great with the Proline road hawgs. Tecnacraft made quite a few different applications. I'd love to find a set for my Yokomo yz834. I've never seen outside of a brochure.

I really wanted it for the wheels. Even though my car has a set of Tecnacrafts I've always wanted a set of these wheels with the fat Grand Prix tires. It will free up these tecnas for another build. I've also got another set of the Dhawk aluminum parts and transmission case on order to help bling out this build. In the end the rest will get sold off.
I do have the car in hand. The chassis looks like the rc10 version as not all the bolts are in the traxxas tranny and the front suspension is all rc10. The Dhawk parts will be for the sprint car in the previous page. This one, sans wheels will get re-sold off.
I am absolutely clueless about sprint cars, and this certainly makes me want to lear more about them

Getting all my parts organized for my Ascot sprint car overhaul. I’ve been saving up parts over the last few years. A vintage JG chassis. Dhawk aluminum parts to replace most of the plastic. I plan to take all the thorp 48 pitch gears, jammin jay diff tube and aluminum bearing carriers from another Dhawk transmission and put them in this Rogue Element transmission case with a Composite Craft motor plate. The last parts I got were the Ken Finnley aluminum front shock tower and transmission brace.
i picked up this ascot chassis and cage from tulsa. i just through some parts on it to mock up where i wanted the wheelbase set. so, now i can take it back apart and start the build-up. :)

holy crap, that T1 is, how to say it... dead? How did he do that :shock:
It had a slight disagreement with the rolling tires of a Ford Expedition and obviously the Expedition won.
after seeing the chromed out sprinters on rc10talk, i just couldnt resist having one on my shelf. ive been scoping to purchase one and rebuild - and finally the one for me popped up on ebay. i think it may have belonged to a new member here looking...

Another option is to get a sheet of G10 and make your own chassis that uses a CW sprint car cage.
I've strongly considered doing that. :wink:
no thanks too much work and i want my stuff perfect. always liked the thin simple sprint chassis
Scored this for $100 on the bay yesterday..it's a fair bit different to my BBT is it an Ascot?..can anybody tell me anything about it..what year they came out who made them...those rims look a little different to are they alloy or plastic?
Cheers...

Well I've already started to work on my Ascot I want it to look half decent until I get around to a total rebuild. Anyhow a couple of things I've noticed about this lead me to believe that they weren't made as well as the Big Boys Toys sprinter. The...
I had a Hyperdrive system sitting around that was off the first RC10 I bought....in fact it was the only part of that RC10 that was worth keeping....so I thought :idea: why not put it on my Ascot :?: so while I was cleaning it up I put it on..this...

Looking great Pete. That sprint was good score. Nice work cleaning it up.
what body would fit this ascot that is still available like from mcallister or something. i didnt want a big driver one though.

I just recently went through this for my big boy toys sprinter(which I sadly just sold to fund a modern customworks racer)
there are two Sprint bodies that mcallister made back in the 80s that would work for the early Big Boys Toys Sprints, and I...
Only a mock-up for now to test how everything fit together....which is remarkably well. I was able to use existing holes on the rear arm mounting plate for the rear of the cage but they do push the main cage about 1/2 further ahead of the rear...

I have been thinking to do this my selves, so I will follow this closely :D
Does anyone know where the display cars ended up? They had a couple sprint cars in glass display boxes going around the dirt turn like a diorama. RC10s converted to be exact. They were gorgeous. I wonder who ended up with them?
I was asked by a friend to make a template of my Ascots chassis for him while I had it stripped down. :!: I thought it might be useful to somebody on here. If you want a copy you will need to pm me so I can email you a full size version.
