RC10Talk - The Net's Largest Vintage R/C Community

I'll get a comparo shot today. It's not as bad as I made it out to be. There is some illusion due to the 'unnatural' tower.

Thumbs up for this Graphite Car Temple!

Seems like the big next thing from Germany swapping over the pond after BMW, Porsche and Mercedes will be the "Siebenelch" slammed body.

How's your siebenelcher coming along?

Not so much progress at the moment I am afraid. I think I will start to rebuild the shocks tonite after work and get some paint into the body tomorrow as I have to paint a 1/12th scale body for the magazine too.

I'm sorry, what it "the magazine" that you speak of ?

I am the editor of RC Racer magazine in Germany. http://www.rcracer.com

Ah, cool. Do you cover the "vintage scene" ?

No, not really ... I have planes for the future regarding some kind of column but at the moment it is all about "new" cars. That's why I like the 'therapeutical wrenching' on the RC10 so much.

Hi!

I read my name here.

Hey! What is "siebenelched"? German ultramegapowerbodyslam-engineering? Yes, it is. Haha!

Very nice car, Temple!

At that time, the RC10 Graphite was my fastest 2WD Car ever.

You have started a trend, and your name is forever recognized... I give you full credit, I love the 'look'.

Northy2, here's a shot of the shock angle differences compared to a normal car...mind that I've fitted RPM rear arms and the shocks are mounted to the 2nd hole in, due to clearance problems with the wider Pro-Line B3 wheels I've got on there.

Temple, you mentioned that one of your esc options for this car was an LRP ics. Are you still using it in something or keeping it for another project or perhaps would you consider selling it? I ask because I've been looking for a decent one with the original on/off switch and receiver plug still attached (not replaced or damaged) and haven't had any luck for awhile.

Man that car looks wicked. I love the slammed look. You ever think about cutting those wingtubes down and getting the wing down even with the roofline?

can we call it 'sieben-slammed' or something?

no disrespect at all but i have a hard time trying to process siebenelched.

sieban-slammed sounds way freaking cooler anyway.
