Sorry to have dropped off the face of the earth! Got busy at work and then started playing with my 1:1 project. I actually found a like new Futaba AM receiver for $9.99 on e-Bay and my troubles are over now. I still appreciate the offer though.

It lives again! Just need to get my butt in gear and finish her off. Cool to see the old six gear running smooth. Time to order some paint supplies and get back to it.

Welcome back

Looks sweet, will be nice to see it painted.

Cheers, Dave.

Thanks, I might disappear for a while but I'll always come back. The big pile of parts that comes falling out of my closet when I open the door also serves as a reminder.

Thanks, I hope I can do it justice.

Good to see you back!
This is such a nice build. Happy to see you get back at it.

Conversions like these are one of the reasons the RC10 was, and is, so great. Way back in the late 80's and early 90's we used to convert regular RC10's into street racers, trucks, you name it.....the results always turned out well.

Fabricated a front body mount form aluminum. It uses the stock mounting hole and gold screw.





Cheap damn header paint! Should have the car done in about two weeks.

Headers look awesome, I want to do something similar for my oval car

Thanks! You can get the headers here: http://www.cdkmrcproducts.com/products.php#SprintCar

Good to hear the new rx solved the problem. AM tx/rx suits my needs as well - provided they work

That is really clean. I really enjoy reading your builds

Those headers look fantastic!

Just stopped by to say that I'll be working on this again soonish. I've been busy crash..... er, flying R/C helicopters.

Thanks, if only I could figure out the paint job for the body. I've yet to be satisfied with any of the ideas I've come up with. Might need to hire someone.
