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

Oh man, Lowgear that was awesome!

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


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

Thanks guys!

A steampunk rc10, that's an interesting idea!

With this engine it would have to run in "mod."

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.

Got this in an email today and thought of this.

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.

Maybe someone can just photoshop one for us at least.

Here's a nifty looking steampunk car:
