A few years ago, someone posted a stack of images from the 85 Worlds on FB. I don't remember who it was, or which group they were in. But, there was a pic of Jay's car with a stars and stripes paint job. Could be a possibility. It looks like the corner of a Protech body.

That would be a very cool option! I wonder why Jay used the Hornet sized front wheels. Maybe because there weren't many tire options back then in the larger 1.9" front wheel size?

I think it was just a tire he could get to work on the surface. The pins probably worked better than the ribs at the time.

I finally watched the full Jay Halsey video on the previous page. I saw a pic of my replica at the 9:30 time stamp.

Cool interview.
I know the industry has moved on, and tracks as in the video are harder to maintain, but THAT is what I call off road. The tracks today are on road tracks with INSANE jumps. I know the speeds today would never be possible on tracks like that, but that’s my opinion.
Sorry for the OT.

Yeah. That pic is from right before I sent it to him to sign the body so it still had the black wheels. I found the chrome outer halves after it came back.
Almost 15 years ago...

Are the front wheels on these a smaller diameter then the fronts on the 40th?

I thought so, but didn't know the size, thanks.

Does one go this route to build a stealth? Or maybe it's easier to get the FanRC one?

Id hold off on the FanRc until he sorts the gritty diff plates and fixes the gear mesh issue. As much as I hate to say it, the AE trans is probably the way to go for now at least.

Good to know.. thank you.. what are your thoughts on the new one FR-004A with gear diff?

FanRC gear diff requires you to drill a few new holes in the chassis.
Going to go that far might as well go with the Factory Works/JC Racing transmission that uses B6 internals and doesn't require you to drill anything.

The new gear diff FanRC trans requires drilling the motor plate but I don't think you drill the chassis at all. From what I've seen it's just a simple drill jig for the motor plate
But yeah that's the main thing we concentrated on with our case- no drilling for ANY rc10, and any brace fits as well

You're right, I heard about the jig and immediately assumed chassis and not motor plate. In a way that's worse as you have to also tap those holes too.
