I'm asking because I see that ae offers a black classic chassis, but no classic nose plate in black. Only the short World's version. Also, the .71 front Team shocks are basically non-existent. I haven't managed to find a set anywhere. Yet. I'd love to find a set of those.
Every RC10 up until the Worlds car in '93-'94 had a full, squared off nose plate. It gave you an option of a long or short wheel base. The nose plate on the original Worlds car was cut in a V-shape. Mainly because no one used it in long wheelbase position and cutting it down reduced weight........ and most of the pro drivers had already been doing it for years. Shortly after the Worlds car came out, all RC10's had the cut down nose plate.
When the Classic rere kit came out there were pictures that clearly showed you would be able to get a complete black chassis set. But it never happened. I don't know if it was because the Worlds was coming out shortly or what the deal was. All I know is if you ordered a black nose plate you got the cut down one from the Worlds car. Now technically, there were some team cars that came with the cut down nose plate, but I want to make things harder on myself and use a full one like the earlier team cars had.

Thanks for that bit of nostalgic history scr8p. I owned a gold pan long ago, but never really knew all the history. Ya, it seems they didn't give us much to work with. But if there's a will, there's a way. It seems that building the vintage models is a lot harder than just buying a production kit and piecing it together. I do like the challenge though. Keeps my mind busy. I've spent over two hours sourcing shock parts today alone, lol.
I put the trans together and thankfully the top shaft was good. It was nice and tight though, so while I moved on to other things, it spent some time at the rere stealth break-in center. Disregard the motor plate.
I got done pretty much all I can until the chassis parts come back from ano.
LOL...that's a good idea, i need to try that if i ever get a re-re worlds car!

But it looks like the only buggy tires I could get from AE would've been the ones from the B4.2rs rtr. They come pre-mounted though, and are also sold out. So I decided to just go with JConcepts Double Dee rears and Groovy fronts. I was trying to NOT use the same tires as the rere Worlds box art and did it anyway.
I already got tires for this, but I found the b4.2rs tires unmounted. Thunder Tiger BX tires. Now the question is, do i want to go that route?
So last week, I made a deal with a fellow racer that was looking to move some re-release items. I didn't think it would be that much, but it turned out to be 1 complete car minus a body and wheels, and maybe 75-80% to build...

Looking forward to seeing another one of your awesome builds Jason! Hope associated does another run of these worlds cars.
I watched this car on CL for a few months and was able to grab it a few weeks ago. The guy built it and drove it around his yard a few times. Tub is still perfect.
This will be my new dirt car. Tore it all down and started doing a few chassis...
This should be my last Worlds build. Should..... :lol:
So, this one is going to be a modern replica of the rc10 Mark Pavidis used to win the '95 Reedy International race. Since I am starting off with a new kit, I probably won't take all that long...

Very very nice work, i like the nose plate. Looks very smooth.
On this car we can see lots of knowledge and effort.
:D
I shuffled some parts around and now can move forward on another one of these. I couldn't do the chassis mods i typically like to do because they were already redone in blue. The only thing I did do was move the servo forward to get a little more...

Scr8p doesn't look anything like his avatar pic! :lol:
Just like fat girls on Instagram, its all about camera angles.
:lol: :lol: :lol:
And in case anyone wondered, that's not a mullet. I party in the front too. :wink:
This one will take a little while since I'm lacking quite a lot of parts. Starting off with a bunch of parts I have left from all of these rere kits I've been throwing together.
So this one is going to be a modernized replica of Masami's car that...

It's interesting that the Masami 1993 car looks like a trimmed and tweaked production car and the earlier 1989 and 1991 are basically specialty prototypes.
The trick item for the 93 Worlds seems to have been the milled tub. Some guys had them,...
Well, he's not little anymore, and he'll be 21 in January. But, here is my kid's worlds car. Just about ready to munch on some carpet this winter. Waiting on the servo yet and I gotta spray the body.

I reckon our generation had it best growing up. Where we actually rang Johhny's house to see if we could come over, or knock on the door to see if Johnny could come out. We had a good care free way of life, cool toys, rode bikes everywhere, played...
Now that the anodized parts for my ReRe projects are in, it's time to get building!
I think I have most of the parts on hand to complete this one except for the new Lunsford Worlds Retro turnbuckles I just ordered and maybe a few other little bits...

what rear shock tower is that I like the wing mounts?
The rear tower is just a short World's 3mm tower from RC Carbon Works. The wing mounts are from the B5M kit (91531).
...The car is gorgeous, very stunning. Love the colors.
Looks good! ...?...
Do you notice any handling differences between the RC10 graphite team car and the RC10 team car with tub chassis (both fitted with white nylon parts throughout)?
I haven't driven either yet. Been a while...greetings all :)
Last post
I would say the tub chassis has more flex and probably a lot bigger sweet spot for setup
I'd love to find a set of those.
Disregard the motor plate.
