Time for a new body

Post by siebenelch »

Hello!

It´s hard to find a good body for the RC10. So, why not make an own body?

Here are some pics of my body project. It´s not finished, but a first step.

See ya!

Michael

The Turbo Mirage Breadvan! :lol: I guess when everyone steals your slammed look you've got to blaze new trails.

Very cool! 8)

Hi Michael,

that looks sweet! :) I wonder how that would turn out on a real RC10!? :mrgreen:

Thank´s!

I try to keep the oldschool-look of the Turbo Mirage-Body. But a little lower. Haha!

I think, a modern looking body is not good for this oldtimer.

Thanks to Sebastian for all the Kinwald RC10 pictures!

The flat top going all the way back makes it looks like a rc10b3 worlds body. Everything flows nicely, I like it :D
Old school racing all the way!

Window is a bit far forward for my tasts, and there should be just the faintest lip at the end of the roofline to snap the air off of it.

Why not 'slam' it and mould in a bulge for the motor plate and diff cover?

Looks damn good though, better than most.

I think it looks fantastic. It should look really slammed. I like all the surface area in the rear...you could but little windows there or a UPS logo. :lol:

I like it the way it is the only other thing I would do is put an RC10talk sticker on it. 8)

Hello guys!

To check the perfect fit of the body I had to draw some parts of the RC10. So it´s much better to improve the body-shape.

The rear-end is not finished. Maybe I have to draw the complete gear to fit all perfect. So, it´s no station wagon!

Thanks!

Michael
