Re: I love this Forum! Here is my ride.
Hi!
I have no idea, what is happened to Keil. He sold the company to Graupner and they let it die.
And I have no idea to get RC10 parts here in Germany. It´s so hard to get parts. Sometimes at Ebay, if you´re lucky. I try to get some parts from tower hobbies.
Here are the new shock-stays for the RC10 for fitting the B4-shocks perfectly.
I improved the shock-positions and made some extra-holes more inward, than the RC10T shock-stay allowes.
I hope, I get this parts before the Indoor race in 2 weeks. If they work, there should be no problem to make some more for you guys, if you want.
I will make them in fibre-glass and Carbon. I think fibre-glass is better, because it´s more flexible, than Carbon and will not break so easily.

Re: I love this Forum! Here is my ride.
Michael, PM me with details...I am working on a project right now and these towers would be the last piece I need to finish it...and yes, I need carbon!!! I am not too concerned with proper shock angles, as long as they bolt up B4 shocks.siebenelch wrote:If they work, there should be no problem to make some more for you guys, if you want.

Siebenelch's new Moo
Hi guys
just finished a body for Siebenelch's new Carbon Slammer. He asked for the old "BK colours" but for some reason the "blue-green" abdominal belt turned out to be more green then blue. Sorry dude!
In the background you can see an LRP S8BX/SH Z-Car 1/8th scale body (for a review) and a Mazda TC shell for next weekends LRP Touring Car Masters race. My first TC race for like six years or so. Wo-hoo!

Re: I love this Forum! Here is my ride.
Met with Michael yesterday to hand him over his new Moo body. His first question: "Where's those scissors and the rotary tool?"
And finally, after hours and hours of cutting, milling and "sticker-ing":

Re: I love this Forum! Here is my ride.
I had a large part of a cutting wheel snapping into my safety googles once.
Ever since I wear those goggles without exception when using the dremel.
I like those gold coloured window bars on 7's car!

To be honest that's not gold - just plain chrome. I think the foreground of the background ( ) does it make look like gold ...Mr. ED wrote:I like those gold coloured window bars on 7's car!
But gold is a nice idea for the next one!

Re: I love this Forum! Here is my ride.
Haha!
Last week my, broken blade of my X-acto knife was jumping in my left eye and 5 minutes later a hot piece of plastic when dremeling was hurting my right eye! At this day I bought my a safety google finally. But one day later I got dust of super-glue in one eye. So I was not clever enopugh to use the googles there. Is somebody there who got super-glue in the eyes? Funny feeling! First it´s burning like hell after you can not open the eye. Dangerous hobby!

Re: I love this Forum! Here is my ride.
I noticed you dropped your body even further in the back than your buddy: didn't he like the cut out for the spur to pass
Anyway they, both look super, and I hope to be able to come shake your hand someday, maybe drive it a bit too...
It will have to wait till I get out of Japan again though, so you have plenty time to put side nerves and a wide bumper still

Re: I love this Forum! Here is my ride.
What are you doing in Japan? Where are you from?
I never was in the US. Maybe the RC10talk.com-community can organize a vintage meeting there.
Maybe directly at the Team Associated Headquarter in California. That would be cool! Maybe we can open a new thread for the vintage-meeting.

Both bodies are slammed to the max. Maybe it looks different because of the colour variations.
Cheers

Edit: ok, looking at the rear windows I would say mine sits around 1,5 millimeters higher.
