Well there was bit of a mixup at the post office when this arrived and Michael (warpspeedbatteries on ebay) whom I bought this off threw in a Viper body, to smooth it all out!
nose brace tubes, transmission braces and a bumper (which I am not sure about) to make up for it, top bloke!
Thanks a lot also to Tulsa (Scot) for the rear motor mount and body mounts aswell!
I completely stripped the car because it was covered in paint and glue and dirt. After soaking and cleaning I have added, new hinge pins, MIP transmission, Hydra Drive kit, dogbones, battery cup, servo saver, transmission brace, body posts, Futaba SP148 servo and mounts, Proline Champion rear tires, Kyosho Gold shocks, sealed bearings, hardware and heavy duty rod ends and tie rods. Most of which were just lying around from other trades for other parts.
So here it is (so far),
I just quickly assembled it to because I had to bend the noseplate and chassis a lot to get them to fit together properly and I wanted to see if it'd go together.
There is still a lot of work to do I'd like to;
-re-dye the rear bulkhead and front arms black
-sort out the crazy camber angles
-strip, re-trim and re-paint the body
Then with;
-wing wire
-front lower shock pivot pins
-a battery cup
-a motor
-ESC
it'll be pretty much finished!
BTW what RC10 was the Viper body originally from? Does anyone have any pictures of box art?
Cheers
