CRP Sprint conversion for SRB? Whats the word?

Post by j-sou »

Here's the score for today. I know nothing about it other than what I was told. It's supposedly a CRP Sprint car conversion for an SRB.
Anyone seen one? I've searched around here and tamiyaclub for a bit, but not finding anything. Wondering if anyone here could point me toward more info.

I don't think it's a sprint conversion, just more of a cage for the Rough Rider? :oops: not tamiya savvy at all )

Nice hop ups on this SRB. CRP butterfly chassis, RCH front end with CRP shock extention kit, and a very cool, and hard to find rear mono shock system that I think was made by RCH but can't be for sure. Look to be CRP rear cage and nerfs. I'd be willing to bet there might even be a Thorp diff in that gearbox which would be a sweet addition to this already loaded SRB. Very nice!! Whats the plan for it?
If things seem under control, you are just not going fast enough.

Plans? For now I'm going to use it to hold up one end of my sofa that has a broken leg. Just kidding :lol: I have no idea really. I'll probably just clean it up and make a roller out of it when I get some time. So, what's RCH?? I hope that's not a stupid question... :oops:
It came with a box of other SRB parts. Loads of parts, mostly stock, but I did find some more nylon arms and aluminum nerfs.

I'll send you a 2x4 block of wood for your sofa, just drop the car in the mail for me :D . RCH made a bunch of hop ups bitd for SRB'S. Here is the mono shock rear which looks to be the one on your car.

Wow, very nicely hopped up SRB. RCH made that monoshock kit in nylon and aluminum.
