Few more pictures.

Chassis. Pretty bare right now. Parts should be on their way soon if not already.



Exhaust clearancing.



With a white background its easier to see what I tried to do with the windows.



Throwing the idea around in my head of painting the windows white.



And I really have no plans on running this. Building it just for old times sake. I've regretted selling my old one many times. I don't run any of my vintage cars. Especially nitro. Too much hassle.

[romulus22]

Thanks guys. My whole plan with this is simplicity. And make it look as if it were almost factory.

I might be a convert after this project is finished

Few more pictures. Need more parts, better parts, rotary carb, a lot to list but I put some parts I already had on here while I wait.

I don't know a lot about the RC10GT. Is this essentially a GT with buggy arms and bulkhead?

Pretty much. The nose is different but its just a bolt on part too.

I was not a big fan of the nitro RC items, but your creation is super cool looking. Very well done.

I am anxious though to see how it all plays out on the track. I would assume that the engine placement will have an effect on the car especially on jumps. Do you have any predictions or assumptions on performance and handling? I might say that it should be stupid quick though!

Cool project!!

I don't run my vintage car so this car wont be ran. I just like to build the cars.

I hear ya there. I have 'runners' that are vintage, but I rarely do run them. I love building and tinkering more than I do running them.

Aww shucks! You should at least do a gentle run on a short cut lawn or some thing! We would love to know how well it worked!
