well i figure i talk enough about all the rigs i have i might want to show them sooner or later. problem is taking pictures of 15+ rigs tends to be a bit time consuming. so instead i just put them all on my bed. not the best enviroment but just about the only place in my little house that was clean enough... sure puts it in a different perspective when you see them all side by side.

anyway. heres my current fleet of associateds.

naked, on the bed and waiting....

front to back, left to right:
-rc10gt,rc10gt, rpm rc10t, rpm rc10t, rpm rc10t, tekin rc10t, hopped up stocker tub rc10t
-rc10 sprintcar, rpm rc10, a&l rc10, rpm rc10, hot trick rc10, rc10 worlds
-tekin buggy (not done), composite craft rc10, comp craft rc10, wide graphite rc10, narrow graphite rc10, andys rc10.




got another worlds coming in the mail, and a super leet composite tub coming as well.
got plans for a gold tub box-art basher, a rpm/worlds pan runner, and after i get all these 'done' i'll do up a box art gold tub shelf queen. whether or not i do that with my nib kit is still under consideration...

90% of the above dont have bodies yet, and i am soooo not looking forward to that step...

Dang that's a lot of buggies. Nice collection. Looks like you've got most of the RC10 bases covered. The Sassy10 ain't done yet?

You're considering building up a NIB RC10? You're a braver man than I.

[badhoopty]

dunno what exactly i want to do with the sassy, so its on the back burner for awhile.
i had almost all the parts collected for it, but now the wide arm graphite in the front row sports alot of the parts that i originally intended for the sassy. with the stupid price i paid for the sassy it needs something more than just 'normal' stuff.

dunno if you noticed Melvin, but the wide-arm graphite is sportin' yer cool front skid idea.

[MelvinsArmy]

Oh no, I hadn't noticed that. Cool. I think I'll go make mine now.

[badhoopty]

we'll call it the Melvin-Mod.

[MelvinsArmy]

we'll call it the Melvin-Mod.

Awesome. A part named after me.

I just finished mine. I'll post a pic up tonight.

[scr8p]

is that it? nice rides.

[badhoopty]

well, i got a couple really cool crawlers...

those are over on clodtalk!

[Spiderman]

when you gonna put electrics in all those?
nice fleet ya got there!!

[badhoopty]

well, the 2 gts are rtr, i just got done gettin them all cleaned up and ready for the summer, the sprint car is rtr but will never see juice, and the worlds car is rtr. i just got another rtr worlds last night...

i have enough speed controls, recievers, servos, motors, etc to make 3 or 4, maybe more of them runners. i have one of those first-release novak brushless setups that i was planning on putting on the blue rpm rc10t years ago, but since i recently got a hpi 2-speed i think i might make a little go fast street buggy or something. i intend to make one of the composite crafts a runner (the beat up one), one of the rpm buggies a runner, the wide arm graphite a runner, and one of my worlds cars a runner.

to be honest i havent ran a buggy since i was 13. just the gt's and my crawlers. i had a rc10t a few years ago that i ran and it was pretty fun, but the parts off that went to building the first rpm kit i got.

i like building them alot more than actually using them.

i really wish i would have just tackled each project to completion individually instead of pretty much doing them all at once. i gotta buy, trim, paint, and detail about 15 darn bodies and wings. ugh.

i need to check and see if there are any people racing vintage buggies in my area. i've never raced rc, but i think if there was a vintage class it might be a little more relaxed of a scene.

Man what a fleet!

Looks like I got some work to do to hang with this bunch.

Is the all red buggy hot trick? My kyosho buggy has an all red set up by hot trick that looks like that

[badhoopty]

its mostly hot trick. this is an older pic, it now has a red motor plate and a sioewinder lid.
picked it up off ebay and pretty much just cleaned it up as good as i could.

[Eau Rouge]

Nice! Full Hot Trick with the wide foot front end, Kyosho gold front shocks and what looks like one-off front aluminum arms. Pretty sweet. My brother raced a car similar to that.

Excellent!
