Time's up... Callahan!

The movie car has creased looking foil bumpers in the rear, so I left things that way too.

The LiPo battery operates this fully functioning TDP vette, and will be getting a C4 sticker on it



It took more than a year, but I'm really happy with the outcome.

Thanks to all of the The Dead Pool Vette's that came before this one, that lead the way and showed how to do this. And thanks to everyone that participated with their knowledge and help, and excellent recommendations along the way, wouldn't have attempted this project without you guys. Thanks again!

TDP vette will live on this 4:3 retro TV, for as long as I own them both.


The end.

Or is it...

Sequels can be hit or miss, and while The Dead Pool wasn't the best Dirty Harry film of the series, it had the greatest RC car sequences and chase scenes, that I've ever seen. No CGI here.





Have always been a Clint Eastwood fan. Put him in a movie with JJH and an RC10 Corvette...:


And I'll build both cars


1LKI623 incoming.


Might take a while to get this entirely completed, but outdoor lacquer painting weather has finally arrived here.

I asked Mid-America - https://slotcarstore.net/pages/1-10-Car-Bodies-U2679.html - if they would remake the Parma '63 Vette #10218 - AKA The Dead Pool body. I'll report back what they say.

Just happened to be stumbling around looking for cool things when I found Parma's making the Deadpool Vette body again:

It's not on their website but apparently they added it to their eBay store on February 28, 2025.

Now where to get the wheels and knockoffs. I think the wheels and tires are harder to come by.

Bought (2) 40th anniversary RC10's back when, one will be going to the second TDP vette, when I get around to it.
