That's a good idea.
Weight reduction as opposed to a traditional driver figure too...

I've been wanting to ask about a steampunk RC10 for years, but didn't want anyone stealing my good ideas...
Of course, like my
real RC10 projects it's been on indefinite hold!

With this engine it would have to run in "mod."

How about a Blizzard instead? I do know theres a video of one floating around. I remember it being really slow but its all about the cool factor.

I actually had this idea too, went so far as to go to the local hardware store and pick up a bunch of brass hardware. I started covering an old gold tub with woodgrained contact paper and it looked really cool but I couldn't get the stuff to stick in the compound corners very well. I also realised how heavy the thing would be when done so I dropped it for the time being. I have another "theme" car in mind now.

Maybe someone can just photoshop one for us at least.
