Some pics of my Raborn Racing Invencer XT. At least I now believe it is an XT, still waiting to hear from the experts. These are just some cell phone pics. Eventually I will get some better pics of it. I am going to do a resto on it eventually, but there are too many irons in the fire already, so this one is one the back burner for now.
Thanks Reggie. I was super excited when I got this one. The craigslist add said it was a 10T, imagine my surprise when I got my hands on it. I knew what it was since I had seen the one at M&M, and looked into them a little out of curiosity. From what I hear they weren't the greatest performing chassis, but it sure is cool! The Airs body was the icing on the cake for sure!
That's a beauty! That AIRS body looks right at home on there. It looks to have the original kit foams on it too, I think Pro-Line cone dish wheels (#2007, 2008) since it has the decals?
I've always wondered what other parts were anodized purple since I've never seen color pics of one before.
I'm not too sure what exactly the differences were between the X-10, EM-10 and XT-10 besides the chassis, but that sure looks like the XT if I had to guess.

I am actually north of Houston in magnolia. I put Houston in my profile because nobody knows where magnolia is.lol.... Did you see my comments in the scans section? I directed a couple questions to you about the whole Raborn/M&M connection. I would love to meet Mr. Raborn and get a signature on my truck. I also would love to get a new chassis plate and wheels and foams!
I know where Magnolia is. I grew up in Spring and worked in Magnolia for almost 5 years. Barry lives in Bellaire inside the loop. He's only about 10 minutes away from M&M. He'd love to see it. Let me know when you want to go over there to see his other toys and I'll set it up.
Thanks to fredswain, I picked up this NIB Raborn Invencer XT kit a few months ago. Fred also had Barry Raborn autograph the chassis for me. :D
This truck had been my unicorn for many years, and I honestly thought I would never find a new kit. It...

Congrats on the truck Dave. It looks great. I like the paint. Very period on a sweet body. I can't decide officially but I'm leaning towards the white rims.
Ok so I've been away from the site for a bit. I've been dumping money into the big oval car and selling off my collection. Then I was sucked back into the sport and began campaigning my old trusty Raborn LTO car along with trying my hands at a CW...

On hard pack where 2.2 offroad style tires aren't run, the Invencer with the new updates is absolutely a modern car stunner. I'm working on a 2.2 solution for dirt tracks that run them btw. A new dirt oval is going to open here again soon so Barry...
I am slowly modeling the Raborn Invencer, among other things right now in Creo. I just thought I'd share some of the progress. When the model is done, I'll follow it with a complete build of the actual car.

Good news. I am picking up all of the remaining original Invencer inventory from Meir tomorrow! Time to start cataloging parts.
I posted some pics of my truck in the other makes/models section.
Fredswain, this may be a long shot, buy I was wondering if you would recognize my truck. The guy I got from said he got it from a guy who used to race in Houston bitd. I also got...
I had a chance to dig out some boxes of goodies over at Barry Raborn's house last night. Barry was the owner of both Bullet and Raborn Racing products. I took a few pictures but they aren't the greatest since they are from a cell phone. Anyways,...

That truck is sitting at Barry's house now. It wouldn't do all that well on a touring track. The motor is offset left and up high. It is really intended to be only a dirt car. I have drastically updated it to bring it up to modern levels. Barry even...
Ok, so I was suckered into returning to a local track (Chipmunk Hill) to spectate. I saw some old friends and felt like it was time to see what I had remaining in my collection. (I had sold the majority of my collection to fund my full size car) I...

What shock towers are you using front and rear?
Nice to see old school stuff hanging with the new stuff!
