Hi Michael, great car ! Do you know, who in germany could supply us with older ae parts like B2 rims and so on? What happened to Christian (Keil)? Does he still carry any inventory?

Cheers aus Bayern

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.

Michael

Beautiful parts Michael. Keep us posted on your progress and price.

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.

excellent buggy...

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!

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":

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 ...

But gold is a nice idea for the next one!

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!

Just carefully take the eye off and dip it in acetone or boil it in hot water, hope this helps

I will do that with my glass-eyes! Haha!

Here is another shot of the Team Mooh cars.

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

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.

Hi Erik!

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.
