Here is my first entry: a BBT Sprint car conversion that took me years to complete and restore, still not finished the way I want it, but it's presentable at least.

Hi Guys,

Here's my entry a 37 Ford Oval Racer, one I started 4-5 years ago.

It's still not finished, but since I took this pic I have made some more changes.

Cheers, Dave.

Here is my RC10. Cut down chassis, lowered body and modern electronics wrapped in shrink tube - as we did it in the old days to save 3 grams. It is a LRP SXX speedo, a Sanwa receiver and a Futaba Servo. Battery is a Orion NiMh. The motor is a Novak Ballistic 8.5T. RDRP shock towers and battery plate, Stealth transmission and a front brass weight.I tried to make it clean inside.

I could run this baby - or better leave it on the shelf...

Whoaa! Three great entries already!!

Can I enter my Worlds Car rebuild from back in 2010?.... it was my first (of only 2) RC10 but was also my first attempt at building a 'vintage' car with the intention of racing it, not having raced in the Off Road class for 10 years it was also my introduction back into this class of racing.

Starting out as a £23 wreck from ebay this is what I ended up with;



Nothing particularly special going on here, just the usual upgrades to run 2.2" wheels & a B4 slipper. Installed electrics included; Hacker 6.5 BL motor, LRP Sphere TC spec ESC, Futaba 2.4ghz RX & KO 2000 series quick-servo - best result was 3rd in the A final at a local club meeting.



Currently sitting on a shelf collecting dust - I keep meaning to get this up & running again, but the recent Re-re of the Worlds Car seems to have dampened my interest in running this original car.

Here is my entry . Bottom stamp A chassis that was built to replicate the RC10 in the you tube video. I came in second years ago in the rc10talk paint contest with it .

Seems like its a slow month for the entries so ill re enter my gas buggy one more time.

It's not filling up as quick as I thought this month, so I guess I'll throw another one under the bus.

My first WOIN build from years ago.

Maybe it’s time to run other brands in between, for instance Losi, than Associated, than Kyosho, than Associated and so on

Lots of great entries. I'll throw my Classic into the mix. Worlds steering, turnbuckles, bearings, 17.5 turn Xerun combo plus RCCA outdrive bearing mod and Jammin Jay diff assembly.

But will it blend?

I guess I'll chuck up a photo of my converted B4 for something different.

Pretty stock running Speedy's parts, a few home made things and custom works wheels.

OK, that's 10. I'll get the poll set up later tonight.

Good luck guys!

Can we start the trash talk already?!?
