Going to start this pro race project over the holiday weekend. Gathered parts for a while now and it's time to stop looking at the bin this was sitting it . Not certain on the wheel/tire choice shown but have been wanting to use those race master slugs on something. Plans are to keep things close to that era so any suggestions on electronics are welcome. I'll post pics of the six gear that I'll build new for this once I sit down with it. Possibly talk the wife into bringing it with me on Thanksgiving to help get through another holiday . Eating turkey, throwin back cocktails and building stuff. What more could ya ask for?

If things seem under control, you are just not going fast enough.
Oh yes. Going to drill and hack that chassis for it . Absulutly not. I have a six gear that I will build new from individual part form and add some old school hop up's to it.

Beautiful! I didn't know Proline made those wheels in chrome. They must be difficult to find. What about a motor guard, gear cover and body to finish it off?

Thanks. The chrome rear pro lines come up now and again but the fronts are not easy to locate these days. No motor guard as I used a graphite motor plate and the chassis is not drilled for one. Gear cover might be a clear parma. As for the body I'm trying to hunt down an Andys Pro Arrow. I've tried test fitting various bodies and can't find one that fits correctly.

I came across these RPM front arms and have not seen any like these before. Did RPM make arms that would be a replacement for the Andys pro race arms? They do not fit a 10T bulkhead but are the same length as the worlds arms and the pro race arms....

The RPM arms would be short on a Pro-Race front end but maybe you could use GT axles to bring the width back out.
Option #2 is B2 Carpet arms...which are longer than Andy's Pro-Race arms but should work with B4 wheels. Problem with those is the...
I'm building several cars for Barry Raborn right now so I thought I'd show a few of them. Barry is a very creative person and going through his boxes of parts is a fun adventure into his mind in the late 80's and early 90's. I found a chassis he...

Here comes the fun part! Let's see what this box holds. Time to start building a brand new Powerglide Belt Drive. These are all of the Powerglide parts that remain that were never sold, not counting the two on my cars and one that Barry has on his...
Looking for a readable copy of January 1991 radio race car magazine article or review of the Andy’s pro molded chassis.

I posted this one up a few years ago. Note the Jrx2 steering link turnbuckle and the incorrect (short a-arm version) rear tower with trailing arms installed. :)
If the url above ever croaks I can link to my Drive.
Considering it has never run this poor car has been through the mill :roll: This project is a classic case of learning as you go :oops: here are a few pictures to show where it's been.
This is how I received it from Coxben, a very nice car indeed...

Thanks for the comments, I'm very happy with how it's turned out.
Yes Scr8p I'm pretty sure it's a HB Stealth Fighter.
So when I was growing up I was fortunate to have a RC10; however, I never had enough money to have any of the great hop ups out their at the time.
We typically raced indoors on carpet in Michigan. All of the older guys were always gracious to give...

Well...had a chance to get this up and running...
I kept it as vintage as I could with the Novak vintage speed control. I had a new modern brushed motor from another lot I purchased (I remember my motor was the Trinity Monster back in the day). I...
