Thanks, it actually wasn't the plan for this one After I seen chris72983's dyed arms I wanted to dye mine too. The original plan was to make it look sporty, but screw it, it's gone to the other side now. I'm not sure if I mentioned the paint scheme or not, but it's getting a carbon fiber look on the front 1/3 that looks like it is overlain by pealed back blue anodized aluminum which is painted black on the outside for the last 2/3s. I hope it turns out as well as the car did. It's going to be hard to add decals to the paint scheme too.

There is much to be said about the guys on here that started the old but still new RC10s they started something that many of us wanted to do and a lot of us followed through with. We have quite a few of these builds now and they are great to see and help with. Gotta say we will never stop leaving the already amazing RC10 alone

thanks...I really like how it turned out, BUT yes I will cry if my junk gets spanked.

gee she has really come together. very tasteful indeed. keen to see the paint onboard

That car looks awesome, vintage AE!

To protect that rear end, perhaps you could track down one of those Kydex rear bumpers. I have one that was made by J.G., but I think there were others. I don’t know if those extend up & out far enough to completely protect that setup, but it would have to be better than a direct hit.

yeah, anything would help...i'm eyeing one on ebay that is ending in 3 days. I already entered a crazy max bid, but if I don't win I will like to buy your J.G. Could you send me a photo of it?

Sounds more like you want to find a solution that keeps your front wheels down: so much handier when you want some steering

Asso-man was struggling with the same a few weeks ago at a race, but he fixed it mostly. He's using lead up-front to compensate for the shift of the gravity point after using the BL moter and lipo pack, and set the ESC and transmitter up for a good acceleration curve.
Plus he's setting the B4 slipper pretty loose to get rid of some brutal response too

I'll have to wait to see. I want to get it painted before I take it out that way it's still nice and shiny for the photos I'll post of the final product. I am running a 8.5T brushless so I don't know if I'll have much problems keeping all 4 wheels to the dirt. But then again this will be my first brushless setup and first lipo setup too. The anticipation is killing me. In fact the lipo battery and charger are on order, so I don't even have those yet.

Rod if you are out there reading this...PLEASE have that charger and battery pack waiting for me when I come by the shop I probably wont be in town until a couple of weeks.

If there are any issues I will spring for some lead weights.

sorry dude, I was thinking I wrote in another treat I read earlier
Guess I'm mixing up the still-old-but-a-lot-newer builds

no worries, i kinda thought that

We should do a collaboration thread where people post their complete cars like these again...like, Older but newer part 2.

You should make an 'action pics only' treat for these

thanks for the rear bumper paul
it should work well i think...we'll see

On the hold shelf for you bud! Onyx 230, Orion 2400, the ti turnbuckles you are missing and a Squid! Squid?????

lol, i cant wait for the squid??? I got a multiplex charger from the LHS, so you can put the 230 out for another customer, but I am looking forward to the onyx lipo and my last set of blue turnbuckles to complete the car...which is still waiting for a painter to paint it.

thanks again, see you in a couple weeks maybe

You're welcome - glad to see you got the bumper OK. It looks pretty good on there. Good luck on the track!

My guy who is painting my B2 body has been away in the Navy, so still waiting for the final look.

SO, I slammed an old Viper body I had and a old B4 wing so I could go play. Also, got so dirt hawgs on some dyed blue rulux wheels.
