CRP truck mounts on a gold pan

Post by aconsola »

This truck started out as my latest ebay purchase. I had actually planned to use the conversion on the prior car I restored but it turned out that the previous car had a stealth, and the CRP rear mount is for the 6-gear.

This uses HPI super star wheels with the HPI extra wide(1.1" per the package) rc10 hubs. The hubs are specific to the superstar wheel line and use barrel nuts.

The motor is a team monster stock geared 9x60(pinched from the clod and rc10gt bins) through a 6-gear trans.

The body is a bolink ford ranger. It is really for a 1/10 pan car so it is way too wide. I remember BITD my friends and I having all kinds of on-road bodies on the off-road buggies and trucks, none ever really fitting appropriately, and most with wheel wells that were trimmed excessively.

The rest of the truck is pretty much stock gold pan except for the rear shocks, nosetubes, and steering. I had proper gold long shocks and sold them all off a few months ago when I told myself I was done rebuilding vintage cars. :roll:

I will probably sand the nose tubes, is there any difference between the black and silver ones other than the color?

There is supposed to be an off-road track opening up soon, So I may actually run this one. If I do, I will probably make longer camberlinks for better handling and put a narrow body on it.

That's cleaned up great, looks real nice and proper old school, very cool Sir 8) . Is that a graphite nose plate on the second chassis :?:
Experience is that marvelous thing that enables you to recognize a mistake when you make it again.

Thanks for the compliments.
Yes that is a graphite, likely Composite Craft, noseplate on the second chassis.
It is all cleaned up and ready to go on ebay to make me eleventy billion dollars so I can retire young. :lol:
Actually I will eventually be listing it because I don't particularlt like them. IMHO the nose tubes are one of the classic design elements of the RC-10. To have a gold pan without them just doesn't seem right.
I like a nice graphite chassis too, but a combination of both just doesn't do it for me.
