did you get the address yet thumb? :lol:

I just seen this thread. I enjoyed seeing the transition and in the end, I think it looks the best. I can see why you were reluctant on swapping out the towers you already had though. It looks great and sits proper now. What's next for this build? It's pretty complete, but do you have any plans for the gear cover? I think it would look best without electronics too

Cool build!

Guess I'll have to put this one in the RC witness protection program. :lol:

I think I'm done with it, might get a different body and you know the scoop on the white RPM gear cover... $$$. Still would like a set of the RPM front castor blocks though. I was gonna change the shock towers on my runner version of this, but not after seeing the difference in ride height. I'm getting too lazy!

Looking at this thread again the wing made me think of Wonder Woman's invisible jet. I searched google images, bit there were just too many funny choices. :lol:

Thanks for the kind words! Yes, those are the white RPM steering arms. Just need the front RPM castor blocks now. :D

those knuckles are wrong for rpm "steering enhancement" castor blocks. rpm never made castor blocks for the ones you have (standard rc10 type).

Good to know. Finding the steering enhancement kit is a rare thing anyway. Unless the kit falls into my lap, I'll probably call it good enough. Seems I do recall the RPM castor blocks being more thin looking at the top and bottom of them?

I see the big difference, but what exactly was the 'enhancement' supposed to accomplish?

i've rally got to stop clicking on your builds, they are too nice and get me in a creative (bad for the wallet) mood.
