Sonic was the next gen of Reedy modifieds after the Mr. series.

The bearings in the steering are the same size as the rear axle bearings. 3/8" X 1/4", I believe.

I was an AE, Reedy, Proline, RCPS and LRP driver seems like eons ago, and qualified for the '93 Worlds at the Nationals held in Dallas,Tx prior to them.
I still have both of my Worlds '93 RC10's (race and backup car), and just like I ran them during the World's in 1993 at Basildon, England. Came back to the USA and put them on the shelf and never ran them again. I did throw out the old used tires though and they have other tires and rims on them now. I even have another one still NIB as well in case I needed parts.

I still even have my Kyosho 4WD car I ran there, with the specially machined (swiss cheese) CF chassis and shock towers as well as all the additional blue delrin hub carriers and blue anodized parts the Kyosho factory reps brought for me to the World's. The car even sports the special ultra thin, world's race team thin lexan Lazer body and undertray to reduce weight even further.

At the hotel we all stayed at, my room was right across the hall from Brian's... and Scott and I got into a little trouble for glueing Brian's door shut one night with CA and kicker. He had to call the front desk and Management had to come pry it open. Scott did most of the damage, but I should have stopped him, but yeah it was all out of fun because he locked himself in his room.

I still have the handed out registration british envelopes (2) that have the event, my name, numbers for the cars, with the round Euro numbers (see Brian's winning Worlds Car article) with the club letters BRRCA underneath them still new like I just got them today.
I'll post pics soon of the these things for this great site.


FYI: The body is a Turbo Mirage SS. I still have two new in the bags from Cliff, but I'm not selling them since I need to paint some bodies for some 'new' bodies for a few cars I have.

Great stuff Ruffy.

I know Ruffy from back when I was a young kid starting to race in Puerto Rico before he went to race the Florida Winter Champs and got spotted and by Gene Hustings and ended us getting sponsored. He is definitely a great addition to the forum, hope he can keep sharing his experience and help re-live the times.

Ruffy you need to post some good pics of your world cars from ’93, with and without body. :wink:
