Just wanted to share this one again with you guys. I had long lost pictures of the car and as I paid a visit to the attic I thought I would quickly snap some pictures. The car was used for racing by a fellow Belgian racer. He also gave me this incredibly rare Brian Kinwald Reedy motor that was only offered to sponsored racers just before Brian signed with Losi. The motor was never available publicly and production stopped.
The car has been somewhat modified but was originally bought as a Team Car Graphite kit with the elusive “coffin shaped” or sometimes refers to as “Worlds” Graphite chassis. Love the paint job on this Viper too!

Oh my sweet lord!

Heart stopping

That is one nice looking car!

Good thing there is a coffin chassis nearby. Beautiful, I've never heard or seen one of these? More details please.

That is really a good looking rig!!

Nice car David!

Some of the late graphite team car kits came with that chassis instead of the standard one with the AE logo milled in it. Just a running changing.

So this chassis looks like the lower deck from a Composite Craft '91 "worlds" conversion chassis set. Is there any connection between the two? Just curious. Did CC grind these out for AE?

While they look a bit similar they’re actually very different. The CC double deck has a narrow front and rear end and is larger on the sides. To my knowledge CC never made any woven carbon parts. This chassis was definitely produced by AE and some members here have it NIP with an AE tag. It was also assumed at some point that this chassis design was foreseen for the B2 production, which was in the pipeline when these late Graphite Team Cars were produced.

Very very nice, David... as usual

Shame about those stickers on the wing \

What are these tires? I love the looks of them! Old-school, but seemingly 2.2", i.e. perfect for JC wheels!

Also, looks like you nailed the perfect servo mounts, too... where are they from, please?

Thanks!
Paul

Really digging those wheels. Is it possible to get a set of them somewhere?
