My NIX91 runner / modern parts added.

This is my resto-mod A stamp. One of the first builds I started and finally finished. Took a while to figure out a paint scheme, it's also my first all airbrush paint job. Had a lot of fun building her and she should move pretty good too.

My Classic, in "road mode," with DS wheels and tires and an old Parma (?) Lamborghini Diablo body. Painted flat white on the outside, hoping for sort of an "experimental skunk works" look, but I think it came out more Roger Moore or Crockett & Tubbs. Which is cool too, I guess. The nice thing about this car is that nothing was modified; all I have to do is swap wheels and tires, and remove the front bumper/body mount, and it's a buggy again.

Here's my late CE - the "Poor Man's World Car", ie it has the WC bulkhead, arms, and a few other parts. I bought it used and restored it fully to occasional runner condition, and it runs pretty darn well!

It sports a few cool parts, like MIP CVD's, cut rear tires at the front, *original* A&L steering, and Worlds wheels! All my offroad race cars usually sport fluo-yellow paint schemes, hence the yellow parts! The paint job was done by my friend Dom at Polygraphix Designs, and at some point I had a matching B4 body for my modern racer

Electronics are race stuff, about period-correct:
- KO 1004 FET Servo
- Novak M1C speedo
- LRP White E mill, seemingly a 15 quad
- JR/Graupner Alpina Radio (ok, this one is 7 or 8 years too old...)

Net, here are the pics:

Here is a one off RC10 tuber using the original chassis as a basis. The whole cage is simply screwed on the chassis. One of my personal favs, even though I admit it could be refined much further in terms of details. I hope it qualifies regarding the body rules

I didn't get a chance to take pictures so I'll throw this one up.

Didn't have time to get pics of something else, so this is my '08 Vonats RC10.

Hi there,
I try it again with my latest baby.

Enjoy!

Michael

I'll play. Something new on something old. The only buggy I have.

Poll is up!

Great group! This is another tough one for me. I'm a sucker for Tubers, but there are some strong entries in there to go along with it!

Tough competition, for a "filler", "lo-NRG" month!!!

Two projects really standing out of the crowd here, and (deservedly) centralizing the bulk of the votes.

I love these threads... very inspirational.

Thanks to all those participating!

Paul

Huh... Somebody voted for me besides me. I almost didn't vote for me, after seeing that sandrail. Thanks, whoever you are...

That would be me.
Thought it had a nice rear end
