My RC10T I just finished off with my first but hopefully not the last Andy's body. Most likely will remain on the shelf, I love the way it looks too much to destroy it.

I'll have a go. :D

Here's my updated WOIN RC10. Originally, this car was built with the nylon Klein arms. They gave a slightly narrower track than a B4. It worked well but I didn't like leaving out the extra width. Also, I used some B4 front suspension parts which I didn't like. Other small mods included a B4 slipper and a FibreLyte (RPM Worlds) front shock tower.

Once Niki had his Quadra-symmetric suspension parts available, I knew I wanted them to get the right track width. Off came the Klein parts and Niki's parts were installed.

Andys front arms, RPM rear arms, Fiberglass front and rear towers.

Green springs up front, Red springs in the back. The tub was powder coated white, the body paint has a nice pearl white to match.

This buggy sits just like I bought it.
