Picked this up a while back thinking it would make a good project. The chassis was near perfect so I didn't do anything besides strip and anno it gold. The parts were painted black, i stripped them and dyed them properly. Very happy with the color combo, just need a couple little bits to wrap this one up.

Still designed by Kunio, sold under the A-Main name, same as his earlier electric conversions. Tomato tomato

That's a good question! I have seen the old MIP heads start out purple and fade in color over time. Hmmm

I have a purple MIP stinger pipe on my GT. So far only the manifold faded in color but the pipe looks fine and that’s after running several gallons of fuel. My guess is the much lighter gold anodizing should hold up reasonably well.
In all fairness too the MIP heads that I have seen faded were ran hard and put away...with nitro in em. I saw a video on removing anno color before and they did it with a small torch oh look....here is the link

Well, this is as far as I'm going with her. I finally cleaned up the tires and bolted em on, new air filter and off she goes. A good friend of mine just offered to buy her. This was a fun build. It's nice when the parts aren't a challenge to find
Oh and I made a Kydex bumper.

I had some caps done in the same gold, but I didn't like it. With bodies too it would have looked great

Just found this little guy,

Late tub GT with the 96 GT II style towers and T2 type arms. Black parts.
Does anyone have a writeup on the old A-Main Racing (AMR) trucks as run by Kinwald, Lett, etc, pre RC10GT? I'm thinking 1991... My LHS guru recalls a RCCA writeup on Kinwald's truck.
Got two VERY different AMR trucks, both pre-GT, the only thing...

Ahh ok, that’s cool. Ken is fairly chatty on Facebook so when I saw that name I got excited. In my mind it could had been possible as the car came with delta shocks as well.

I got this RC10GT way back when I was a teenager. Probably around 1998 or so. I bought it without an engine, so for one summer me and a friend ran it on a worn-out old OS engine he had. I fondly remember driving the hell out of this thing. Starting...

I got my RPM rear arm mounts in today so I got those dropped in the truck. And as I did I was sitting there flexing the rear end and even though it was a lot better with the addition of the aft engine mount/chassis stiffener, I still wasn't happy...
