Re: ** Build of the Month Contest - August 2016 ** - Winner - Headling
This is my 'first' rc10, that went through a ton of evolutionary changes. It was likely a mid production Caddy car that I got as a pile of used parts and no manual. practically nothing left original now.
as it currently sits freshly restored, it has a Houge chassis and arms, losi shocks with MIP seals, RRP 18 degree kinpins, Andys front arms. The 6 gear trans has thorp 48 pitch gears, bearing mods, and jammin' upgrades. Trinity universals and wheels. Jammin' Jumper body, and litespeed heatsink with parma gear cover. Techna turnbuckles and probably parma heavy duty rod ends. Custom front tower to fit the taller losi shocks.

Here's my build, had a lot of fun with this one. Used a RE-RE Worlds chassis, China made blue 10T nose plate, A&L steering, front and rear towers, & battery hold down, LRP speed control and motor, Niki's quadrasymetric suspension, Hot Laps tires front and rear, B4 wheels, and finished it off with a Proline Mirage SS body with a spin on the Worlds paint. Hope you like.

A work in progress. I need some more detailing in the paint and body. Many different parts used to build it.

Tamiya Racing Masters MK.7 Porsche 956 chassis restored with original body




Re: ** Build of the Month Contest - August 2016 ** - Winner - Headling
One of my XX-4 buggies. This the XX-4 WE. It is pretty much what i ran in the late 90's but i re-built it and gave a birthday. Its more or less stock with the exception of the Trinity shock collars, Motor clamp and motor plate / cam. I have it setup to the box setup and also have a Kinwald rear sway bar (not seen in the pics).
The motor is a Fantom 10x2 controlled by a Tekin TSC 410k that i stripped and re-wired. The servo is a Futaba FET servo (will check the model - forgotten!). The radio is a Futaba FP T3 with a Noval XXL receiver. All still works well, but the radio NiCds last for about 30 seconds then dump! I also have a nice set of SCRC 1700's that still hold a bit of charge to round out the buggy.

skunk.werkz I'm unable to see your pics. Not sure if everyone else is having the same issue.
