Putting a scorcher body on an RC10 was very popular around here 10 years ago. Scollins started the trend.

Re: ** Build of the Month Contest - May 2017 ** - Winner - Lonestar
Thank you for the kind positive comments.
I did have the chassis shortened many years ago so that it was the correct wheel base , but unfortunately I found that it upset the handling too much on the track. The current configuration was the best compromise I could do.
I ma about to do a new body as I am bored with this paintjob & the Australian vintage race is coming up in a few months, so I like to turn up each year with new paint jobs.

If a jobs not worth doing then its certainly not worth doing well.

Love Rizzo's model!! beetle FTW! 
it sure looks like there's a few mods to it, for example the Body posts and possibly rear shock tower to fit the body. It would have been great to see it with the body off

Tenth (or something like that) time's a charm - Woo-hoo 
Cheers all for the kind words, thanks to Mark for the rims that really "make" this car I think, and congrats to everyone who participated.
All my special gratitude goes to David "Make No Prisoners" Asso-Man for not entering the contest this month
