it has the losi carriers, but sliders are raborn. i wanted to use them on this, but they bind too much with the suspension droop. i don't want to clearance the arms to make them work, since there isn't that much material on them to start with. so, it'll probably get a set of mip cvd's.
as for the other "junk" in the pic, that's what my wife calls it.

Mission completed
I'm very happy with the result, the only question remaining is about the shocks... are they from a Yok? I really don't know since they come from a RC10 donor car. Anyone can back me up?
Any comments or critics are welcome

Looks great, but the wing looks 'funny', is that how it's supposed to go?

I guess you could also place it more rearward, but my place seems to be shrinking
and I need space... seriously, it's weird but seems functional. There is no indication in the Tekin manual about any wing config. As for the body, they say it accept almost every body for the stock RC10, just need some more cutting

i think hoopty put a viper on his, and that's what'll be going on mine.

Wow that looks great! I still have my Tekin chassis in the box since I can't find a NIP nose plate.

Asso_man!, scr8p... did either of you have an issue with the lower shock mount holes in the rear arms?
Primarily due to finding this damn board, I went out and unboxed all my old RC stuff and got to tinkering with stuff.
One of the things I had forgotten is how the holes in the Tekin arms were too big and the screw just slides in and out.
yes | no | maybe ?

i don't have any issues with mine.

me neither... you could fill the holes with some king of hard glue and drill them again or use different srews/holes... strange...
