Hi guys! This is a car I've been constantly modifying now for almost 10 years. It's now in it's 5th Evo stage. Too much to mention but you can find it all here (on the bottom it's linked to the previous Evo and so on...):

The goal is now kinda reached - it's as fast as for instance a Tamiya Top Force or a Schumacher CAT2000. And still sporting a lot of Hotshot'ness

It's at present the most winning car in our "Nordic Vintage Challenge" series. We're shortly doing race #7.





Thx for looking & good luck guys!

Perhaps the car will do better this month without the pic of a naked Farmer right below it.

Kyosho 1/8 TKi3 racing buggy with Tki4 suspension parts converted to electric using a Tekno V4 kit and a Losi SCBE body and roll cage. Vintage Kyosho Turbo Scorpion paint scheme and stickers (it is after all a Kyosho, and a bunch of other stuff )

Well from the looks I ain't got a hope or a prayer but here's my entry. My RC10T Team Truck. She started as a bare chassis and I found the rest of the parts from there. Re Re Body, original decals, new original tires all around, wheels ain't quite right (new release lightweight for 1/4 axles), new a-arms, re re tranny case, and most of the rest is used originals. Had a blast putting it together, Hope you like.

My yokomo yz10 94 saved up a while to get this one. Added a few hop up parts, really happy how it looks

RC10 Fusion Speed with MIP 4wd kit
This buggy is built mostly of aftermarket parts. The carbon fiber tub chassis is by Fusion speed. The suspension arms, arm mounts, bulkhead, front bumper and custom painted Renegade body are from Andy's. The vintage carbon fiber shock towers are from Parma. The hard anodized dampers bodies are made by MIP and have aluminum shock collars by CRP. The rear transmission and SP-2 4wd kit are from MIP with a Hyperdrive belt drive system. The motor is a Reddy Modified Mr. T. The aluminum wheels, titanium turnbuckles, or an airfoil wing and quick release wing mounts are from Tecnacraft.

First time
This is a feeble attempt at a replica of one of the Masami cars that ran at the worlds in Japan in 2007.
It came from a completely destroyed B4 (caked up bearings, broken parts etc..) that i sanded and cleaned every part, added Shiny Mip bones, Yokomo balls cups and all the blue bits.
Had to source an early version B4 body and the right wing but it a stunning end results.
Next up in getting it stickered correcty and maybe adding electronics.. the Yokomo zero is near impossible to find.
Enjoy !!!

Ok, we got our 10. Feel free to get your pics uploaded.

Agreed! I hadn't seen scr8p's body before tonight. It's really hot! I'd love to get my hands on it!

Seriously, I hadn't seen that one. Very nice!

That Yokomo is dead sexy too. It reminds me of a trip to Albion Illinois circa 1990. My thundershot was lined up next to 7 YZ10s. Just before the starting bell I look at everyone and say "You can't win a main without breaking a few yokes." Then my battery dumped after 3 minutes because my car was 3 times heavier than all the others...
