I feel, I have to draw the whole da*n car.

By the way, I plan to make some real bodys of it. Interests?

Do you have a nice name for my baby? Turbo UPS Mirage?

Awesome body idea Michael....Turbo Van-rage inspired by the van like boot I'd be interested in a body if they weren't to expensive...maybe in the new year of course.

I'm in too!

Any updates on the new body siebenelch?

Anything new? I want one!

I'm in.. ..and I don't even have an RC10 anymore. It'll make me scrounge ebay for a project.

Hi!

Sorry, I had so much work to do the last months. I had no time to continuo this project. I hope, I will find time to finish that body soon.

Maybe in some weeks more news.

Sounds good. I loved the Mirage (body on the RC10 in my avatar). Was one of the best looking buggies aside from the stock one IMO.

Awesome R&D work. If that pic was any larger I'd print it and frame it.
BTW, how long did it take to do all of those R&D CAD drawings?

Thanks!

Before I can start making the body, I have to draw the chassis and all exponated parts, like shockstays, etc. That needs a little time. I have to take the original dimensions off all. After I can start designing the body. I can make the rough body-design transparent. So I can see, that the body will fit perfectly without trouble to other parts of the car.

For that RC10-Body I need mybe 6-8 hours. But to make it perfect I need some 2-3 days. Maybe more. Depends, I I am happy with the design, or not. Haha!

Hello there!

I had a little time to trim the new body.

I think, I am ready with design. I think, it´ss not a copy of a Turbo Mirage. Not really. I dont will add some air-intakes, or someting else. Should be a very clear and simple design.

BTW: the body is a little more narrow, than the Turbo Mirage.

In the next days I will get news about the price for production. We will see..


Maybe there is a hobby-shop, who wants to make distrubution of this thing. I am not a distributor.

I love it. If they aren't $100 a piece shipped to the 'States, I'm in.

Very nice, I have a question though, it seems you designed it with a RC10T rear shock tower, will it fit a stock RC10 without any problem?

The mold for the body is "higher downwards" and have no cutting lines. So you only have to trim your body to your hight of your car. With stock-shockstays the body is not so much slammend down, as with the RC10T-tower.

Thank you!

Michael

Looking good Michael.
You might want to put some more relief in the wing though: like ribs and a rounded leading edge: to give it more strength.As it is it looks like it will bent instead of giving pressure.

I don't own an rc10 but I have some parts which will make it either on the tuber chassis of Mikedealer, or a model inspired by your earlier creation: with rc10 T arms all around. It all depends on who's gonna spill the beans first. (hint, hint)

If it doesn't turn tuber, and the body looks fitting I may well be in for one of them.
