That's a good idea. :idea: Weight reduction as opposed to a traditional driver figure too... :mrgreen:

I've been wanting to ask about a steampunk RC10 for years, but didn't want anyone stealing my good ideas...Image


Of course, like my real RC10 projects it's been on indefinite hold! :oops: :lol:

How about a Blizzard instead? I do know theres a video of one floating around. I remember it being really slow but its all about the cool factor.

I actually had this idea too, went so far as to go to the local hardware store and pick up a bunch of brass hardware. I started covering an old gold tub with woodgrained contact paper and it looked really cool but I couldn't get the stuff to stick in the compound corners very well. I also realised how heavy the thing would be when done so I dropped it for the time being. I have another "theme" car in mind now. :mrgreen:
