Modern Body, Vintage Buggy?

Quote

Post by nicholasdivitto » Sun Mar 17, 2019 2:49 pm

I'm working on a mid motor RC10 rerelease, but i need to choose a body. I'd like to try to use a modern looking body (even if it is an ugly cab forward design) because it would fit the profile of my chassis better.
Does anybody know of any modern buggies that have a similar width chassis plate that might have a body that fits the RC10? I just checked a B6 body, and it is way too narrow, by about 20mm.

Most modern chassis have that narrow size like the b6... Probably the B4 was the last one, really, and even then I'm not even sure.

How about going for one of the modern JC reinterpretations of the RC10 instead?

The jconcepts detonators do have a nice cab shape that works well with a mid motor tub. They are rather narrow up front to fit to the tub closely.

hey guys and gals,

I have never had a Associated truck before, but have been aimlessly going through the truck forum for some research. This might be a simple question that probably has been answered already, but has anyone converted a vintage...

I ended up using the Rc10T CVD bones and the new quick connects for the T4. Works absolutely awesome!!!

The Low-Buck Build-Off thread got me thinking about starting another build-off, I thought I'd put this out there and see if it would interest some of you. There would need to be some specific parameters to follow, such as:

Hi contestants,

The end of November is fast approaching. Here's how this will work. I'd like each contestant to take 2 money-shots of their build; one with the body on, one with body off. If you don't have a body painted by the time of the...

Been doing a lot of searching up and down the net for 12th scale bodies for my 12e rebuild and coming up with very few choices but one thing I noticed was modern bodies (GTP in particular) appear to be very low slung bodies to fit the modern pan...

That sounds like a lot of work for one interested person :| pity there is not more interest in this shape.

So I have managed to sell enough of my old stuff to finance new electronics. LIpo, charger, Esc, and motor.

But I haven't raised the funds for a new car yet.

So I am going to build my Graphite into a capable race machine. :)

Well the buggy is almost ready. Forgot to take pictures during the process so no build pics.

I added custom side rails to allow for a shorty lipo with about 3/4 adjustment front to back. Custom battery hold down using stainless steel bolts, plastic...

b4 wheels will work on the front of the old rc10's. but they will narrow up the track width a bit.

So I am sure there is a significant difference but I would be interested to hear peoples opinions. Just how different are the new cars vs. the vintage version (say '88 - '94). Is is just that a lot of the carbon and trick parts of the vintage era...

Browsing TLR's website to get ideas, I happened across this image, and was wondering what was going on with the very vintage electrics.

This was on TLR's page for the 22 5.0 Elite DC kit, due in September.

Is this a new trend? Someone...
