Radio Race Car in the UK had an exclusive on the RC10. They got hold of Gene Hustings personal preproduction RC10 and wrote an article on it. Notice the Rough Rider body, hand made shock mounts (front shocks upside down) and 7 cell pack.

Giggles,

so the whole dimesion of the front bulkhead, gold tub and maybe the rear bulkhead were spec'ed from the roughrider body dimensions?

I think Scollins will be building an asso rider soon, if anybody tells him about it...
