here is the start of my cobbled together rc10gt. going to put it in the hands of my buddy elvin. god help us all.




so the engine is a O.S. clone i believe. most of the parts seem to match os parts and the crank case is a dead ringer for the cv series case.



check out the HSN! its a thumb screw type. kinda really old skool but i think this might be to elvin's advantage as its very easy to adjust and keep track of your adjustments (it has a clicker built in too)



thought this pipe would be right up his alley. its an old dual chamber pipe, i think its AE but i dont know for sure



the whole car is setup with the idea of being very easy to drive. gonna have a lot of push and hopefully enough rear bite.







so far the only obvious cobbling is the front knuckles. these were the older rc10 knuckles (though i believe the early model gt's used them too).




i still need gears/bearings for the tranny, one of the engine mount bits and a body of course.

the carb is off an early OS .12 cz-z (and others). Is kinda old school and matches up with the whole tub gt scene. What part of the mount are you missing?

yeah, carb is os, its a 2bk. i threw it together the other day. need to put the throttle arm boot on though, just realized i forgot it when i was looking at the pictures.

im missing the step bracket that faces the front of the chassis.

the one thing im worried about is that the kid will run the car like a jerk. last time i handed him the radio of one of my cars he made a point to run the car hard and played games with people gunning for the lead. he was 8 laps down and trying to race the top 3 guys all on the lead lap. really pissed off a few people, myself included.

maybe after i have a serious talk with him once he gets the gt he'll wise up. our 1/10th nitro class is getting rather serious. even though its a fairly open class its got a lot of heavy hitters in it, id hate to be answering to the other racers or worse yet get taken out as well.

puts a whole new meaning to the phrase, "My bad..."

oh dont i know it. sure enough the first time he has it on the track he'll make a b line for me and take me out.

i was just looking it over. despite some of the surface flaws here and there this car is not bad at all. its got a new f/r bulkhead. new rear hubs. new body post cross member. new built shocks with new seals and caps. new rear a-arms and mounting blocks. engine is never used too. i got it from a guy and he had never even run a tank of gas through it.
