protech single seater tribute

Post by knucklebuster »

Long-time project I recently started. I dug out some forgotten fiberglass sheet and cut it down quickly on the table saw.

Most of my rc10s ride low on the shelf. I wanted to see the body lower so I put this car together. Funny, new nine turn reedy glitches, old low-turn motors don't.

I absolutely love this idea. I'm going to build something like this. Someday. When my other zillion projects are done.

...in fact, I think I have all the parts I need to do it... nah. Later.

Lars, thank for the compliment.

Mark, thank you. It's not a new idea... Parma and others made similar cars bitd.

I saw the B2 post and new immediately I wanted to build it. I had all the parts and glass sheet. It only took another three years to actually sit down and do it!
