Putting a scorcher body on an RC10 was very popular around here 10 years ago. Scollins started the trend.

Thank you for the kind positive comments.

I did have the chassis shortened many years ago so that it was the correct wheel base , but unfortunately I found that it upset the handling too much on the track. The current configuration was the best compromise I could do.

I ma about to do a new body as I am bored with this paintjob & the Australian vintage race is coming up in a few months, so I like to turn up each year with new paint jobs.

Love Rizzo's model!! beetle FTW! :) it sure looks like there's a few mods to it, for example the Body posts and possibly rear shock tower to fit the body. It would have been great to see it with the body off :D

Tenth (or something like that) time's a charm - Woo-hoo :mrgreen:

Cheers all for the kind words, thanks to Mark for the rims that really "make" this car I think, and congrats to everyone who participated.

All my special gratitude goes to David "Make No Prisoners" Asso-Man for not entering the contest this month :lol:
