I start this thread with the some well place words of Scr8p ringing in my ears:-
scr8p wrote:
but hey, you too could have a rediculous amount of posts. here some ways of doing it:

2) don't start a "build thread" with a finished car. :wink:
So here is my finished build, well all but a Viper and wing.

As many of you know most of my builds tend to start with a donor car and this one is no exception. It came to me from rc10johnny as a very nice condition Andy’s armed Stealth equipped TQ10 so I pulled it apart :twisted: and fitted the components to one of DW911s lovely slotted chassis (I do like a new chassis).

I purchased the Lethal Weapon from Mr. Hugger of Trees with the intention of replacing my MIP trans in my A&L car but this proved too much hassle for me (being a man of little skill :lol:) so it ended up in this, which is good as I thing it works well.

I also added some NIP Graphite/TQ10 wheels that I got from Scr8p some time ago and some new treads just to top it off :D

Now somewhere I have an A&L steering set that I intended throwing at this but can I find it :?: can I heck :(

Thanks guys, TBH nvxwax the shots are nowhere near as good as I would like as I'm lacking light, I need to rig a reflector up.

Thank you gents :D

David I believe BITD they used some sort of reinforced tape to hold the batteries in place hence the additional slots rather than a fixing hole :?:

BITD we would use some fiber tape on these chassis like on the 1/12 scale on-road cars.
Nice looking RC10. :D

Very nice...

That's the stuff m_vice thanks.

:oops: sorry Paul and to think my builds are almost alway a result of what comes to hand with very little forethought to an end product, this chassis very nearly got a 6 Gear Graphite grafted on to it :wink:

Whe i made those chassis 20 odd yrs ago i never imagined that i would be sitting in my office one day looking at such sweet pictures of them and i'm so glad they have gone to such great homes........Very nice build Synergy...well done!

PS: Yes fiber tape was the hot setup for sure back then.
