rc10 edinger parma amc spirit modified build

[hugger19]

well i gave up on my mip 4x4 rc10 project cause it was becoming more stress than fun, so iam starting this one a fun one with many cool upgrades for a vintage kinda look.

Sounds like fun! Will it be a runner?

Tamiya steering? Where is that Ban stick....
Lol just kidding nothing wrong with experimenting

Here is one little hint- mock up wheels and check widths, you'll probably find it very wide

updated thread.

Same with the kyosho and this yokomo too. Lots of options....always good to work with what u have. Plus there is a great alloy following with tamiya

ok well after hours of trying to fit the front trans, well iam done!!! this project is over. SO going to start a new one. a little bit vintage and a little bit updated!

[hugger19]

will post pics soon of the parts. iam going to use a early edinger for this project to keep with the vintage feel.

[hugger19]

well here is a quick pic of it now. its a early edinger with notched piston shocks, light gold chassis and 7 rib frt tires. i added andys frt arms, andys frt bumper, mip steering had to move the nose plate to the next hole if the body doesnt line up will go back with the orginal steering setup, than going to add a mip change box with lite sink setup yes iam going to drill the chassis dont kill me its an a stamp not a no stamp chassis. than top it off with that amc body!

There's almost a decade gap between some of the parts you want to use.

[hugger19]

well it does say a little bit of vintage and a little bit of updated

[Asso_man!]

And that's a truck steering...

Missed the Parma body you're planning on using. Think that breaks past the decade mark.

I realize WOIN and modern runners have a larger gap than that in some of the parts they use but there's a recognizable purpose/goal in what those builds are going for. Those cars are built to compete.


IMO you've got the wrong MIP trans for this build but if you don't have an SP-1 then a 6-gear is a better choice than the Changebox under an oval body. Especially on that chassis with those Andy's parts.
